I'd say 75% of us started 4 year college, but I'd say only 60% finished. At my 10 year reunion, most people that came were married or divorced - and those ones generally had kids. I have a masters degree and a professional license (CPA), DH is an attorney who passed his bar on the first try. At the risk of sounding caught up in myself, I'd say I'm somewhere in the top 15-20%. We both have successful careers, own a home and two cars, we're not without debt but its manageable. A lot of my HS stayed in the town where I grew up, which is fine, but due to its location it does somewhat limit career opportunities...

I'd say maybe a third have finished college and then another chunk of us got a late start and are currently enrolled. Many of us are married with children, but there's probably more that had children and are either divorced or never married. We've lost several members from my class to drugs, suicide, and car accidents and many have moved out of Florida to pursue professional careers in television and the arts. With a class as large as mine, I think its hard to say exactly where we rank, but regardless I consider myself happy and blessed to be where I am in life.

Maybe because it was a private school?

There are some old friends that have done well for themselves (MLB player, business owners, etc) and there are some people that sort of act like they are still in high school and haven't done much with themselves other than having a couple of baby mamas. I mostly leave high school in high school and don't really keep close tabs on what people have been up to. heffalump on "How do you compare to your HS class?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-compare-to-your-hs-class#post-471219 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:02:39 +0000 heffalump 471219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have no idea..... We had a big class and I didn't go to my reunion. Out of my friends and Facebook friends most are college graduates. About half are married or engaged. Not many have kids, only one of my friends does.

I'm not curing cancer or anything :) prettylizy on "How do you compare to your HS class?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-compare-to-your-hs-class#post-471198 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:23:16 +0000 prettylizy 471198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I would guess that that DH and I are in the the top 25% of our graduating class. We're pretty successful, both work, own our home and 2 cars. We don't want for much. Were very blessed. chopsuey on "How do you compare to your HS class?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-compare-to-your-hs-class#post-471185 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:11:04 +0000 chopsuey 471185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Most of my hs friends are doctors and have professional careers. No SAhMs. Edit: I went to hs in ohio so I know most of my graduating class are married with kids. I'm sure a lot of the girls are stay at homes.. my circle of friends were overachievers and career driven though.

I know of a small handful that dropped out early on but I think most finished and I know a bunch have more degrees after that. Based on Facebook, guessing at least half are married, with or without kids now (I'm 31 so this isn't unusual). A few seem to be really successful. I fit right about in there-- hard to base it on Facebook but I feel like I'm doing at least as well as average.

Or worse? About half of my class went to college, and about half of them have dropped out of college. The half that did not go to college is split between being military/marrying military or living at home with their parents and a kid or two. One girl is a model, a few are really excelling in college, some are married and moved away, a couple work around town and live with DHs or BFs. I counted 15 girls who have kids already (without thinking too hard, just off the top of my head) while about 6 girls are married (not from the 15). I have a full time, decent paying job..I own a home, have two cars paid off, am married to a man with a full time job-non military, and I have no kids. Soo, I would say I am doing a lot better than a pretty large chunk of my class. It's too early to tell with others, but here's to wishing success for them!
