Middle Buffalo Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 My 8th grader is doing a science fair project. He needs the following info for his data collection: 1) Your high school rank 2) Number of students in your graduating class 3) Job title you have held that paid (or would have paid if you changed jobs for whatever reason) the highest salary. Just the title - DO NOT PROVIDE SALARY INFO. He's testing to see if there is a correlation between HS rank and future financial success.

iamshack Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 You guys are some smart f***ers! I have no idea what my class rank was...probably around the top 40 percentile. I suspect there were about 250 dudes in my graduating class.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Wouldn't salary, or at least a salary range, mostly dictate the "financial success" equation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to use average salaries for the occupation listed. Asking people to provide their actual salaries might be a little invasive.

Chisoxfn Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 This might be a little odd, but is it better to show GPA vs. class rank? I ask because I can't contribute. My school didn't have a class rank. I'd say I was probably top 10-20% with a school with about 1200 students.

Both of which are state schools so you must be really good at writing grants. Edited November 14, 2017 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
