My youngest brother had 12 yrs of private school (I wasn't that "lucky" and only had the "good sisters" a couple of years). The kid missed one question on the SAT. He's in the 99% percentile. Could have gotten a full ride scholarship.

What's he doing these days? He looks like the third member of ZZ Top and never went to college. Drives an 18 wheeler a couple days a week in Detroit. Probably the only trucker that can discuss ancient philosophy and quantum physics in the same breath but he's happy as a clam. Meanwhile, I'm giving myself ulcers trying to commute to LGA on first year regional pay. But hey, I've got a degree and the student loans to prove it
