Considering debt/loan-income ratio as well as cost of living (Boston isn't cheap, I know that from living there), etc, that income doesn't necessarily mean all 24 year olds are taking home that amount and even if so, it doesn't make them better than someone who isn't, imo. Regarding Becca, I don't think for her, specifically, that having a degree will make her more fulfilled or better than someone who does. At the end of the day, everyone chooses how they want to live their lives. I invested decades in my education and career so I understand the hard work it takes but at the same time I personally (speaking for myself) don't discredit or look down at those who choose not to embark on that path.  Some of the nicest people I know don't have higher education and some of the worst people I know do. Becca isn't harming anyone in the way she is living her life. Again, just for me personally, even though they aren't the same things, I don't see a high school graduate as less than than someone with a undergrad degree or an MD.  jmo

LA isn't cheap either. And, girls like Caila and Jojo are probably not in any student debt, judging from their families.

I even said in my initial post that I don't think that academics are for everyone. People find fulfillment and happiness in other paths. I just think you need to aim for something in life, other than fame and attention. That's different for a lot of people - for Jillian, it was interior design; for Kaitlyn, it was dance; for others, it's volunteer work or service to your Church or opening a business or learning a trade or travel or something. My father only graduated from HS and was the hardest working person I knew, so I definitely do not look down at people who are less educated that I am. I do look down at people like Becca, who are aiming for nothing in life other than getting validation from strangers. Again, JMO.

I'm also pretty sure that Becca left her chiropractor's assistant job to move to LA.

Just curious as to where you heard that Becca moved to LA.
