Author: Like lets say someone graduates high school with a HIGH SAT score and a 4.0 GPA, also this person has been accepted into the top colleges,
do you think that the person will be successful in life and will make a lot of money?
Not at all. I have seen Valedictorians go down the path and crumple, I have seen many just leave college because they were burned out by the time they left high school or they were too cocky when they got to college.
Now could it set you off on the right foot?
Of course, it can get into a good college. Then again if you do poorly in that college, then you will be working a 9 to 5 job not making that much.
In my opinion, college success determines success in life. I graduated high school with a 3.0 GPA, I slacked off and even when I tried I just didn’t get it. I got into an average university somehow and then I did great there, I attained my masters from MIT. Now I make about 120k per year. The guy who graduated valdedictorian from my school is unemployed right now and I even housed him. He is a good friend of mines, I admire him but now I am making more than him.
Some people just flourish late in their educational careers but as they say, better late than never.

110%– a persons place in society is determined in grade school. by his/her junior year in college, employers will be contacting them with job offers. they will also be bidding on his/her salary, so they will come to work with them upon graduation with a starting salary of 80-100 thousand dollars. everyone else will be getting a factory job for 9 dollars an hour or going to the local tech college to learn a trade like welding, plumbing or electrical

A friend of mine was valedictorian of our class and received the highest paying scholarship to the most prestigious state university in our state. He flunked out twice. The last I heard he was divorced and working at a fast food restaurant.
