You should be investigated for child abuse. No child should have to work this hard in America today. Child Abuse is the only explanation for this type of parental success.

I doubt colleges hand out full scholarships to anyone these days who isn't from Dagestan or Zimbabwe.

I have a son, graduated from Purdue, worked summers for the Parks Department hauling mulch in 110 degree heat. When he graduated, he was only able to get a job putting tires on cars, so that’s what he did for nine months. He didn’t sit around whining, he got to work. That got him a job as warehouse shipping manager at a large plumbing/heating/cooling supply company. He’s at work at 8:00 a.m. and sometimes doesn’t leave until after 8:00 p.m. Did I mention that he likes his job, his co-workers and his boss? Well, he does.

Not all of the young people today are worthless. But, I see where the article is coming from.

Okay, you've gotten your brag in about your accomplished daughter. Great job in raising a good kid! That said, this study is discussing a trend and most, if not all, of the members of this forum would agree with its conclusions. There are always exceptions, one of which is obviously your daughter.
