Blah blah. But anyway, I really admire the insight that their research shows:

"Later-born children will earn less, are less likely to work full-time, and females are more likely to be teenage mothers, it was suggested."

Thoughts?

and I know they mean later-born females compared to earlier ones, but the way they phrased it was still funny

Same results as my brother

I'm the 6th born out of 7, and out fo the first 6, I'm the only one going to uni.

And my wee brother is stupid, so he won't be going either.

Haha.

I have one older brother and I got slightly better GCSE results than him.

So yeah...pwnd.

I have better GCSE and A-level results than my younger sister! It must be true. That said, she hasn't actually taken her GCSEs yet...

Are you responsible for all three you dirty inbreeding pimp?

Merm don't you have a younger sister? we can check to see if it's right.

Does she earn less?
Does she work full time?
Is she a teenage mother?

My older brother is a bar tender at a caravan park.

However will I compete?

My academic results are actually pretty much on par with those of my older brother.

Stupid scientists...

I'm the youngest in the family, three siblings who are all tied to regular jobs.

I'm the only one that's moving higher up on the education ladder.

I'll out-earn them all.

Aha. I always thought this. I now have an excuse.
