First, 90k a year really isn't that much. Second, they're the exception, not the commonality. A highschool diploma is definitely more attractive than a GED, and both are completely useless. The degree isn't what matters, it's the content you learn. For college, it's the other way around.
It really is, 90k a year is far more than you will
need to live a good life (though I can understand that most of the people in here that have been told that getting As will lead to them making 500k a year, which makes me sad) and they aren't much of a minority, I have seen this happen with so many people I know.
My mum used to be the principle of a school that was meant to keep kids off the streets, my bros and sister went there too and I became friends with a lot of the people there, now, the people in this thread are claiming that
cheating is basically loving yourself over so that you will never be sucessful, yet the people from this school that were all, drug dealers, hookers, actual delinquents (not the kind that talk in class, the kind that are in knife fights at school weakly, attack the teachers and disappear for months at a time) and muggers.
However I kept in contact and still hang out with about 7 of these guys weekly and they are all in their early 20s and making more than a lot of you A students probably will.
There are a lot of jobs that don't make much money, and they aren't just filled with people that did bad at school, so many people who think they are set because they got good grades end up forgeted over in stuffty jobs.
Also one of the guys from that school (he is about 26ish now, he was one of the elder ones) is making millions and has spent the last 6 years traveling the world with gypsies and exploring africa and stuff, now
he is a minority.
