I was an All American athlete with a 3.5 GPA. I went to college on a full ride and graduated with a BA in History. My parents never pushed me. Neither were phenomenal students nor athletes at all. They expected to me only to finish what I started. Starting out after undergrad I made $27K and barely scraped by. Twenty years and a masters later, I make >200K and they still largely neutral about how I turned out. —- I have similar pressure levels and expectations for my kids. No sense in getting all fired up over it; they’ll be just fine.
