Well, my high school had something like 80 kids. My graduating class had fewer than 20. So yes.

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.

I think it is weird/creepy you know exactly what she makes!

Could be teacher, university employee or some other public employee where it's easy to look up their salary.

#1 doctor
#2 lawyer

Me---Class of 32 kids at a Christian school.
#1 partner at a medium sized law firm
#2: Wharton grad; works in private equity
#3: pediatrician.



My husband was the valedictorian---large high school similar to BCC or Whitman.
He's a physician. Went on to his state university and then a top 3 medical school.

I went to a no name public school in the rural southwest. This is why I think the high school craziness in the DMV area is absurd.

I’ll bet they had well educated and wealthy parents? Most rural high schools have one or two that escape because of that.

But yeah, kids here will be fine.

Nope. Military kids.

We had two. One is a math professor at Columbia. The other was a doctor, but sadly she was killed in a car accident earlier this year. I grew up in a small midwestern town with less than than 20,000 people.

#1. Professor at Stanford. #2 is Biglaw

He came to the US. Brilliant, brilliant man. Many patents to medical devices he invented. Started multiple companies. He is a billionaire you have not heard about. He and his other sibling who is equally rich and renowned in his field have risen because of their brains.

SAHM. Before having kids, she was a lower school teacher. She’s an Ivy grad. One of my friends who was at or near the bottom of our class is probably the most successful in our grade- she’s a partner at one of the top Big Law forms. I went to an all-girls private.

Associate Professor at Purdue

Google suggests their salary should be between $110k-$120k.

Another classmate (no clue of their rank) is in the same field but in the private sector and making twice that. This person didn't get into any Ivy league schools but went to a university that DCUM is obsessed with.

Class rank doesn't always predict success. I know our #2 graduate is a SAHM MLM fanatic. She went to an Ivy and got her masters from a second Ivy.

Our most successful graduate is actually someone who went to one of the service academies.

Valedictorian is a doctor, not sure which med school
Salutatorian works for NASA, went to Cornell and Georgetown I believe
