I don't think there has been a good predictor found of wealth or
success. (GPA, college degree, MBA, etc.)
But you can see people in your field that you would say, I'd hire them
in a second. They may have been high
school/college dropouts, low GPA, no sports ability, etc. If you had
looked over their resume early in their
career, you may have passed them over.
And we all know plenty of people with advanced degrees and perfect GPAs
that went no where.

One of my roommates in college was also an engineering student, but
not a very good student. Later he attributed his success in life to
his poor GPA. He couldn’t land a regular engineering design job
(didn’t help there was a recession on), so he settled for a job as
an applications engineer or sales engineer. Within a few years he
had his own company. Probably the most successful of any in our
group.____

In gym class I was never an early draft. Usually near the last.____
I did play on local soccer and football leagues, but never stood
out. I did it because everyone else did it, and the parents said I
had to do something extracurricular. This is a bit of an
embarrassing story, but when I joined the local Pop Warner football
team I didn't know any of the rules to football. Soccer was simple
to muddle through --kick towards the other goal, don't use hands.
Football has a lot of rules. The coaches never explained how to
actually play and I never asked. I just sort of tried to emulate
the kids around me to get through the games. I never figured out
what a "down" was until I was in high school. ____
I haven't stayed in touch with any of the school athletes so I
couldn't say how they're doing in life. ____

Back in the day, when you lined up and a couple of troglodytes

near the front were you picked?____

I was frequently next to last. Better than being last. ____
The troglodytes that I know have not really had great lives.
