I wonder this sometimes too and can't decide if the happy go luckys are the smart ones.
I guess the main thing is if/when they pair up they should pair up with someone who shares their values or it could get bumpy.
Was having a talk with oldest DD early 40's about kids in her small HS class. Some are struggling, some are just getting by and some have really gone out and grabbed the world by the balls.
I don't know the happy quotient of the HS group but I'd like to know which bunch are happiest.
I consider my in law family pretty average.. we have 9 kids between 4 sibs...
8 kids have 4 year degrees.
one DN has advanced welding training and is now supervisor for a large national stainless steel company.
7 are married and all spouses have 4 year degrees.
of the 14 adults ...4 have advanced degrees.
Now the original 4 sibs have no college degrees, the one sister got a CPA and worked after the kids got in school. The 3 boys are 61 65 and 72 and are each still working in their own business.
Is it hardwired into us or is society changing ?
