I attended a Catholic HS in Seattle in the early -mid 80’s Couple hundred in our graduating class and about 90% went to college, pretty typical.
Our Valedictorian is a very successful surgeon and researcher. The co sals include an orthopedic surgeon, a dentist, a Management Consultant who made a mint and is semi retired (she and the dentist were identical twins). Football star played a year at D1 then got hurt. He became an International finance guy and then helped co found a couple startups but also lost most of his hair by 30. Head Cheerleader and Football captain got married right out of college. Great family and both lawyers. Most of the rest has been pretty successful: teachers, lawyers, real estate, Insurance lots of professionals and overall pretty close group. I have done all right and as most conservative (remember this was Seattle) and co most likely to succeed I cant be too unhappy with a great family and a pretty good life!
