The kid with the education.

In 10 years, typical American soccer-kid will be angry, bitter and marginally employed.

The kid with the education will be a college graduate, fully employed, with a hopeful attitude about the future.

Just a generalization, mind you.

Any kid with an education can get a job, and I'd say the soccer player can go to college just like anyone else. But the kid who has had his parents riding him since he was old enough to walk, who has had little time for anything fun, who has few friends or interests beyond school, is much more likely to be depressed, alcoholic, and maybe suicidal. I've seen it happen.
