You may be right about that. But it doesn’t change the fact that she has a vitae that is on par with Flagpole’s.
Your 17 year old daughter has an MA and 30 years of work experience and owns her own company that makes enough to put two kids through college, have zero debt and be on par to retire by age 55?
Good for her. That is magical.
Not quite to your level, but she does have:
1) Full academic ride to one of the top research universities in the US. So, there's one person she's already put through college. :) It's a private university to boot. Does she get bonus points for putting someone through a private school?
2) No MA though. You got her there. An MA these days is worth about as much as the paper it is printed on. Complete waste of time and money. She's intelligent and frugal and would never go that route.
3) At 16 through a science competition, she developed a product that she has been able to license to a major medical manufacturer in the last year. Her agreement with that company has been quite lucrative. She donates 20% of the proceeds and the rest she invests. She was fortunate to invest a portion of that money early in various crypto-currencies and made a tidy profit from those. Personally, I think she was more lucky that smart with those investments and am glad she is out of them.
4) For years, she has had a kid oriented, science-based Youtube channel that netted her about $30K in 2017. Since she will be matriculating in the Fall, she has been transitioning this to her younger sister to take over. Her sister could use this money to pay for college (although she'll likely receive a full academic ride as well). So, yeah, that makes a second person she put through college (just like you were able to do).
4) She also started and heads a Foundation that in 2017 raised $250,000 for pediatric cancer research. Two members on her board are the mayor of our city and the CEO of one of the hospitals in our city.
5) She has been given authorship attribution for two articles in peer reviewed journals.
6) She has zero debt - just like you.
I guess you do have that MA that she doesn't have and 30 years of work experience at McDonald's, Burger King, and a newspaper though. You win.
