The one two year ahead of me is married to me he went to a SLAC and now works for a dod contractor on some pretty cool stuff I can't tell you about. I only know because I also work for dod.

Our valedictorian was really into drugs (small high school on the west coast). She went off to a state university but I don’t think anyone has heard from her since college, 20 years ago. She never attended the reunions and I don’t think anyone could find her on social media.

Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Supreme Court clerk, and now a big name law professor.

We are now mid-late twenties and graduated from the best public high school in a mid-sized city:

Valedictorian is in MBB consulting and I assume will go for a top MBA soon.

The next few (I don’t recall who fell exactly where, but we were all friends from taking the same higher-level classes) in no particular order:
Music PhD at top school
Biglaw after top school
Physics PhD at top school
Investment banking but after getting another degree
Marketing analyst
In doctor of osteopathy school

All things considered a very successful bunch. Others who seem to be doing well (the soon-to-be doctors and dentists come to mind) tended actually to not be the absolute best students in terms of gpa as many in that bunch were also into athletics.

We had two:

One is a prof at Georgetown: After something like Yale+Harvard
The other is a senior tech exec at Google: After something like Yale+Stanford

I don't think either has ever been to a reunion, but I think they are really good friends to this day. The both seem happily married and pretty well off. All the high achievers in our high school seem to still be good friends with each other 15 year later, even though they all seem to be living in completely different cities/countries.

My what is your high school class valedictorian is doing just okay, making $59,000 dollars yearly, I would of thought she would of gone to wall street and make millions but I guess I was wrong.

Not everyone puts money ahead of all other values. Do you get that?

Working on Wall Street sounds soul-sucking to me, and I was accepted to both Harvard and Yale.

I worked on Wall Street 30 years and loved it. Last 10 years had a corner office with a water view. Got put out to pasture Wall St and came to DC to die of boredom. Too many goof offs here to get any real work done
