I am noticing it with my high school daughter and starting to notice it with my college students.

There is no middle. There are about 10-20% (maybe generous) of high achievers that will be self-sufficient in life and the rest are going to be an issue. You are seeing it in the service industry jobs now and its about to spread.

The "C" student is what used to be the failing student. What is passing for the "A" student used to be the B/C student. The high achievers are almost acing everything - 4.4 GPAs and 102 averages.

I do worry about our children's future because it won't be easy to have a middle class lifestyle of today...everything is getting so expensive...the dollar is going down hill...so much pain and suffering going on around the world...we still have so good here in America.

we can say the kids today aren't achieving but at least from perspective, my kids at least, I see them doing way more than I ever did by age 21...


the issue will be the type of jobs, the number of jobs available and what do they pay?

life is going by so fast, I turn 58 tomorrow, so, I just hope everyone is okay and everything is going to be alright...

one day at a time, let's be uplifting for our kids...they need that from us...
