Today, someone at work was bragging that their son was high school valedictorian and offered a full college scholarship. 7 years ago, I was also valedictorian and got that same scholarship. All I said was, "Congratulations. Did you want fries with that?" and continued taking their order. FML

It has to be one of those four, huh? Because you know of four situations so mine has to be one of those four? I'm OP. I took the scholarship, got a B.A. in Economics with a minor in Computer Science (not quite Basket-Weaving or Art History, sorry), did analysis for a company that recently went under, started working for a start-up until I ran out of money, then took the best job I could find, which happens to involve selling french fries. By the way, he DID want french fries. And he got them.

If you went to high school in DC, you got to be valedictorian because you're the only one who didn't get pregnant, shot and killed or thrown in jail. So, DID he want fries with that?

Our school Valedictorian is now a stripper. No joke, her stage name is snow white because she was really pale.

agree with 66....but maybe it was sociology. Might have been a better idea to go for something like chemistry, materials engineering, something with technological development, etc.

YDI for failing at life. I am in college and I already have a job better than working in fastfood. If you were actually smart enough for a non-sports full ride scholarship you should probably have enough brains to get a better job. I'm gonna agree with #71 and say you probably didn't deserve valedictorian.

Omg. I can't wait for you to graduate and get thrown on your ass when reality strikes. I HIGHLY suggest you familiarize yourself with loan forms, unemployment forms (such a pain) and insurance forms. I had a great job on college. I'm a cashier right now while I job hunt. You dobwhatever it takes to support yourself in between Jobs. Good luck it'll be a high hard drop off that horse of yours.

Did you get a degree where you COULD potentially move up (like in HR/Business/Accounting or did you major in Liberal Arts or some other Elective? If it's the second one, that's why you work at McGross. If it's the first one, try to learn as much as you can able their policies, procedures, stocks, etc. Then try to follow "McGross Logic" and work your way up.
