That's a fair point. I think the impact that parents have is much larger than location. Period. I didn't mean to imply that big city = success, small town = giving up. My apologies if it came across that way My experience was that my parents didn't have the knowledge to know how to push (not their fault - their parents also didn't have that perspective). In small towns, unless you have parents showing you the world, it is hard to find it on your own
