[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree op They should do a study and see where National Merit Finalists are at in their career and life 10, 25, 25+ years I doubt they are at the top 1% of the society because they tested at the top 1%[/quote] How would you decide what “top 1% of society” means? What would you measure? Salary, educational attainment, choice of work that benefits society as a whole rather than self? How do you decide what makes a person “top 1% of society”? [/quote] Or happiness, life satisfaction etc that were the result of the agency accorded by the scholarship money to make decisions about majors and jobs without student loan debt. I was a NMS who took a college scholarship for a full ride and it gave me great freedom which I am only now appreciating as I save for my kids’ college education.[/quote]
