My career arc wasn't so illustrious. I went from (SAT at 99.5 percentile, college graduate, military officer) to being unemployable. There was a nice bump when the personal computer was invented (they'd hire any body that could do the work) and I eventually got to nine years of employment in tech support at Symantec. But at the end I was a clerk in a (recycled electronics) thrift store.

OTOH, my son went from high school to six years in the Navy and hasn't been unemployed since he mustered out. He works for corporations that buy each other out in the Seattle area.
