Author: By success I mean financial success, as in having a big house and living in great environments.
Yes or no?
No I had a friend that had almost straight F’s in high school, he didn’t graduate. Got his GED a few years later. Went to community college, and got into UC Davis. SAT scores and good grades in high school don’t usually determine your success in life. They do however say something about the individual, and if they don’t change their act they will spend the rest of their life working for Walmart. I say this because if you tried to get a blue collar job that made decent money you would need to go to trade school, and most trade schools will not let you in if you don’t pass arithmetic test’s and other such testing. But if you want to go to Yale, Harvard or Cambridge, I would imagine you would have to worry about your grades from 7th grade. LOL Hope that helps.

Not always. It depends on whether you use your good grades and great SAT scores to your advantage. If you’re a smart kid, but lazy, and you don’t want to work or anything, you probably won’t be living in a great nice house. : P

No. There are many jobs that don’t require formal schooling, or only require good grades in 1 course. As well as most of the most successful people in the world dropped out of school like Bill Gates, and Michael Dell.

i think they’ll make it easier for you in college. but just because you go to college does not mean your going to have a high paying job. my dad owns his own business in heating company. makes amazing money. but it’s hard labor. so you can choose. get paid to use to brain for good money, or your brawn for good money. choose.

Probably. you have to work hard and get a good job first!

YES!!!!
***** if you don’t have good grades in school and your out looking for a job your boss or company that you are applying for will look in your profile/records ever since you started going to school/other things you done and applied for!!! If you have bad records (as in bad behavior,etc.) your boss will not hire you ’cause they are afraid you will be a mess (not a really good worker to be around with). My teachers and parents say that if you have a good education you will probably have a nice easy job (just probably sitting around doing paper work, rather than doing dirty hard jobs) or a sueesful life and everything will probably go will!!!!

No. But it shows you have good work ethic. to get stuff like that would mean looking into careers that can provide that life style, or being born into a rich family. But hard work always pays off but you have to be smart about your life. make decisions for the long term; thinking a short term goal will last just isn’t realistic. but good grades great sat scores, you could get a full ride scholarship choose any college you want, Do good in college you can pick the job/career and not have to be chosen. you can get a nice house nice car. then build up to the big house nice cars, big money. It just takes time and effort the more you put in, the more you get back.

Nothing is ever completely yes or no when you have this many factors playing into the formula. Out side factors that you might not even think about now could also factor in, in ways no one could guess at now.
I think when you work hard at your school work when you are young skills of discipline and time management are learned and set for life. Does this guarantee you’ll get the things you want no, but it will make better opportunities available for you.
There are a lot of people in America that do not want to admit it but racism in America has changed and will continue to change in the next 20 years. Today society is not divided by race or religion nearly to the point that it is divided by income. Look to your own neighbor hood as proof everyone that lives buy you has almost the same household income no mater their color or religion. If they made more they would buy a better house, if they made less they would not be able to live there now. What factor separates the income levels more than anything else, education. If you want to be a "have" and not a "have not" you need to be educated.
One thing always makes me laugh when I see people mention a rich person like Gates and they say, "He never went to collage". Yes he did and he also taught himself some very advanced mathematics and engineering to get where he did early. Remember if you get an education and earn a great living you can still invent stuff, but if your uneducated and unskilled inventing something is the only way you will ever get a head.
