under-acheivement as a strength

ok, so... i have a friend who is an under-achiever....actually....now that i think of it......i can think of at last 3 folks i know well who have not risen to the level that their talent predicted....and one wonders how one can stir on someone who has settled in.....the person i think most about is a close friend at work...who is smarter than anybody on-site....makes it all run...and gets paid pennies compared to nurses who do little and complain their day away........how fair is that?...not fair at all...but that is the way things are...and until my friend gets off her bottom and goes back to college she will continue to be the unsung hero and get paid little for her trouble.....but she has 2 children under age 8...and she is too blessed tired to go back to school...and in my mind it is a tragedy......on the other hand.....one of the nurses i work with in lincoln is going back to school to be a nurse practitioner...she will get her b.s....most nurses have only a 2 year degree.....and then to the classes required by this specialty...and she will make the big bucks if she can stick it out...she has 3 children under 10...but her spouse us vested in her choice and picks up the slack.......it can be done......
