because I took the test during my senior year in '75. I do remember that my score was the second highest of all the people that I took it with that day. The guy that made the highest did not go to college and is now a truck driver. He is a good friend to this day. Another one of my good friends that did not do very well and never went to college is retired now. He has sold his first business and is fixing to start another.

You can still be very successful and make a lot of money if you didnt do good on the SATs.

I did OK on them but making pretty good money and makin more money than people I know who did MUCH Better on the SATS so all about what you are good at and how far you willing to push it.

I managed a 1520 out of 1600 in the 90's. I went on to college, was an engineer for a while, and quit. Nowadays I drive a forklift. Less money, but much less stress.

According to the book, "The Millionaire" mind their is no relation to SAT scores and net worth or income. Although he did start the "900" club, for millionaires who got a 900 or less on the SAT's.

It was an interesting book, he found no real relation to grades in school, SAT, or anything like that, to there net worth levels. The only commen theme that could be found was that they were persistant and worked hard, however they may have only gotten a C or D average. They worked hard where it counted, they knew they couldn't beat kids like the one in the first post head to head in say Math so they didn't try.

The high income earners IE lawyers, VP's, etc. Placed more importance on school getting them to where they are.

You know that's so interesting. I have a few comments for you. How long are SAT scores kept on record? For example if you tried to retrieve your scores from '75, would the company be able to send you anything?

I've met many people who hold degrees from Harvard and Yale, but I'm always amazed that the millionaires I've met have usually gone to schools like Ohio State or Texas A&M, OR never completed college. Of course this is all anecdotal. My friend's brother graduated from Harvard 3 years ago and he's had a terrible time with employment.
