Are you a middle child? Uh-oh...

Congratulations middle child – you’ve been voted LEAST likely to succeed...

According to Dalton Conley, author of “The Pecking Order,” those of us born into the middle of the family could be less successful in adulthood than our siblings. That’s because middle children are more likely to struggle in school and less likely to get financial support for education. 

If you repeated a grade – blame your younger sibling. The chance that middles will be held back a year in school increases several fold with the birth of a third child.
