No one in my high school class achieved any kind of fame

[OldRooster]

I went to an upper middle class 90% white public high school, about 650 in the graduating class. Like 85% of the class went on to college, which was extremely high for a public school during that time. Probably a dozen went to Ivy league schools.

no famous athletes.
no famous actors/models/entertainers
no famous political figures (that i know of)
no famous criminals
no famous business people. (There is a guy in the following year class that became CEO of smaller fortune 500 company.)

You would think of the tens of thousands of half wits that go on to achieve some degree of fame that a few would have come from my high school class.

How can u boomers not all be rich

 

[OldRooster]

I am rich, but that has nothing to do with when I was born. I was born at the tail end of the baby boom, economically not any different than those born in the late 60s or 70s. It was really the people born slightly before or at the beginning of the baby boom that got a huge economic windfall from the baby boom (those born 1940-1950). It is not a coincidence that all the major 2020 presidential candidates were born 1940-1950, Trump, Biden, Sanders, Warren.
