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.
Still have a group text with the high school group and see them for major holidays since our families still live there. Take vacations with college group and go back for large sporting events.
Everyone I was friends with in high school is still there, throwing parties, going swimming, working in restaurants. I'm not that far out but its been years since we could relate- just going to college changed my perspective very rapidly to the extent that we don't relate at all.
