My brother and I are a great case study. We were raised in the same home, at the same time, by the same parents. I was a good student in high school, but my brother struggled due to being dyslexic. He’s still a pretty sharp guy, but a lot of career choices were unavailable to him because he’s never been a strong reader. I work at a local bank. My brother is a carpenter. I went to college for 6 straight years. He started swinging a hammer the day after he graduated from high school. Today we’re both in the same tax bracket. The common denominator is our father teaching us how to be adults. School was nice (I enjoy many aspects of my job), but not necessary.
