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.

I never took the SAT, but I did well on the ACT (32 overall, I think 36 is perfect), and our school told everyone to take the ASVAB as it's 'like free practice for the ACT', and got a 98. I got daily mail from all branches of the military for the 10 years following that, and still get some once in a while.
