My son the consistent underachiever, how can I explain how he is ruining his life?

he can take care of himself but despite his diversity he generally focuses on one issue and that is why his grades suffer for example he gets an A+ in half his courses and a B+ in the other half with complete disregard for the difficulty level.

<p>Two A+ and two B+ grades are hardly a poor performance.</p>

I don’t want him to struggle, what do you mean by OK, I had a 4.0 in biology in college and now I scrape by with a little over 90k

<p>$90,000 is 80th percentile household income and 91st percentile individual income in the US. A lot of people in the US would be glad to “scrape by” on that income. Plus, you managed to do it after majoring in biology, one of the majors with relatively poor job and pay prospects out of college.</p>
