Thanks for the gesture.
Re: Highschool doesnt mean ****?
I made decent grades in highschool, but this isnt about me. I know this lad, nice guy, but he got poor grades in highschool, C-D student, that sort of thing. Anyhow, he gradually got into university after a base course etc and ended up killing it off, graduated with flying colours-a 1st in Engineering.
Now he has a place for a research degree at Oxford, not Brookes, the real university. He breezed his interview, I mean waltzed in.
I am happy for the guy, he's a really top bloke, but what does that say about the highschool system?
Someone who made such average marks is a few years later able to beat mad competition to waltz into Oxford of all places.
Did the system fail him, or is he a rarity-a late bloomer who was always able.
btw same goes for the university. several billionairez also didnt go any "known to be money making Tellers (higher educational institutions).

Money smarts isnt taught, its instinctive. Grades however are a measured and marked thing.
Re: Highschool doesnt mean ****?
its all about what you want and motivation. the educational route is not hard as long as you are willing to do it. the educational system never really tests a persons ability, all people fortunate to not have a severe disability have the ability to progress. most people will know a person or two who didnt meet their expected potential when others of lesser 'ability' did.
