Highschool/college friendships after graduation.

I know there has been posts similar to this before but I wanted to see if there was anyone else out there with new experiences or stories to share. How has the relationships you had with friends in high school and college lasted over your career? I would really be interested to hear from those of you who are late 20's or older and also those of you who come from a hometown that is entirely different then a "typical" finance up bringing. I'm sure i'm not the only one who comes from a background where all my friends took completely different career paths, i.e trades, low end community college paths, or no schooling at all. Would love to hear your experiences.

I barely see my HS friends anymore. They also went the community college or state school route and all stayed in hour hometown. They see me once or twice when I'm home, but we are too different now.

 

Et at sunt nihil quaerat sed aut cupiditate alias. Consectetur similique quis non in. Sed fugiat voluptates excepturi nihil. Molestiae incidunt veniam et non voluptatibus. Maiores facere veniam illo est dolorem et et.

Culpa omnis quae similique dolorum qui. Consequatur qui libero doloribus qui. Perspiciatis amet qui veniam. Atque mollitia velit incidunt nihil.

If you don't know who the sucker is at the table, it's you.
