[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside of the top 1% of students, it seems like most kids that graduate from TJ end up working normal-ish corporate jobs. I grew up in an affluent neighborhood and a bunch of my friends ended up going to TJ and then to UVA/Tech/other state schools. Two went to ivies and they both burned out, barely graduated and one works as a preschool teacher now, the other works at a mathnasium part time while trying to figure out his next career move. The others that went to state schools were considered "average" at TJ and work in the same technical field as me now. So what are the advantages of going to TJ?[/quote] Some families view it as a badge or honor or prestige.[/quote] Not as many as before. Interest has been fading over the past decade. There was a short-lived spike in interest a couple of years ago immediately after the change in admissions policy but interest is declining again. [/quote]
