[quote=Anonymous]I was just talking to my sister whose son just had a 10 year high school reunion so they are all around 28. I happened to be over and this subject came up. Talking to my sister and nephew the successful people now are: 1. The kids who had connections and who did well in school. Maybe not the absolute top in their class but they were taking the majority of the most rigorous classes. Their parents were top in their profession, wealthy, etc. 2. The kids who had really good social skills and were in top classes but not even the most rigorous. It helped also to be somewhat good looking or at least a little above average. Kids who at this point in their life (obviously some kids take a while to get started so maybe this will change ) but the trend was: Kids who were socially awkward even if they were super smart. So the top kid in AP physics and took calculus in 9th or 10 th grade but had a hard time working in a group project. Definitely underperforming. [/quote]
