[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am academically smart, very high IQ tests (161), and work my ass off.  When I want to work primarily for money, I have historically made $1-1.4 million annually.  When I’ve chosen to work primarily for the mission of an organization, I make about $300,000, equally working my ass off.  I have never, never, had a supervisor/boss anything other than thrilled I work on their teams, and honestly I’ve rarely had a “boss”.  My sister has been half-joking that I’ll have a “reality check” when I have to go out into the “real world”.  Turns out that, no, my “world”, which is really just one world with people having different experiences/needs/responsibilities, there’s no comeuppance that she in actuality seems to have been looking forward to.  PP, you sound a lot like my sister.  Wishing people I’ll or a reality check because they are unusually skilled or gifted on a particular area. [/quote]

you want a cookie.  Who cares, none of this matters.  You were going to work your ass off regardless of going to TJ or not and be successful regardless

DP.  Kids who aren't challenged in school often don't know how to work their asses off.  They don't know how to handle challenges or adversity, and when they finally encounter them, they fail spectacularly.  Many kids who were never challenged in school and earned easy As develop imposter syndrome in grad school.  
-signed, highly gifted child who got their ass kicked in grad school by the kids with less rote intelligence who knew how to study, how to ask for help, how to handle working their asses off and getting a B, and how to regroup after a setback.

It's cute that you're calling everyone else an idiot, when it's clear that you know nothing at all about gifted education.  [/quote]
