Unfortunately a lot of kids see big money being made in other ways (some not legal). I like to think the brightest would gravitate to the tougher academic subjects but I know that doesn't always happen.

unless you are a top dawg cocaine runner passing through kilo's in a month or two, engineering jobs pay alot more then small time dealers... or were you talking about other illegal activities?

I was just speaking in general that our kids need better role models. I'm sure they can name all the rappers but can they name even one astronaut? We need to put much more emphasis on math and science in elementary school. Of course, as long as they understand that homosexuality is a wonderful thing...
