Grades and Money

When I was a college student, back in the early seventies, people I knew made it a point not to talk about their grades. To this day, I have no idea how my friends did in college—they all graduated, which I guess means they did well enough. Today some are lawyers, doctors, businesspeople, software designers, bed-and-breakfast hosts, and so forth, but I’d be hard-pressed to guess who were the straight-A students among them and who barely squeaked through.
