“Do they want to grow up and be someone like John Kerry or George Bush?”
Yes they do, many are the offspring of politicians and scions of business. Others want to suck up the big bucks in the private sector, just socialize in the Beltway and live it up near the Halls of Power. Donor class. It’s also true that when you grow up in that circle there is an incredible amount of pressure from childhood on to excel.
I wouldn’t call becoming John Kerry or George Bush as exceling. I guess their families do.
