<p>We do all this work to pass our AP exams and get in the top 5% of our class.</p>
<p>But what is the worst case if we fall short of our short term goals? </p>
<p>We take a college course that we’ve taken the equivalent AP of in high school and pass with an A/B? We go to a second tier school?</p>
<p>We disappoint our teachers who invested their time in our pathetic lives.</p>
<p>Touche…</p>
<p>I don’t really get what you are saying. If I fall short of my short time goals, then life goes on. I don’t live to impress anyone.</p>
<p>Honestly there isn’t one:
Person A works at company A, Person A had a B+ average throughout high school, Person A was at honors college at a state university. Person A then recieved a maters in their concentration and applied to Company A. </p>
<p>Person B works at company A. Person B had a 4.0 + and was one of thousands to get accepted to a top school. Person B now has a lower salary because he/she never learned to “network” effectively with their boss. Person B also has a masters.</p>
<p>^ that example confused me. </p>
<p>Honestly, I think about this a lot. Worst case? You bomb out of school, work at McD’s? Worst case of a bad grade in AP? You go to a bad state school?</p>
<p>yeah i was thinking about that too. doing poorly on an AP test doesn’t really matter that much. worse comes to worse you just take the class in college and do well in it. it’s not like the SAT or ACT which could decide where you go to college.</p>
<p>gooood example EarlySenioritis.</p>
<p>EarlySenioritis: I am the epitome of Person A…well early on at least. </p>
<p>ASU honors college…right on!</p>
