My high school bully graduated second in our class and clearly thought he was destined to great things. Ran into him four years later, he was attending grad school a few states over. Confirmed he was still an asshole.
Looked him up a decade later. He's a grade school teacher. Teaching is an incredibly noble pursuit and a miserably thankless job. I hope he's enjoying it.
This is kind of amusing, because I know at least one engineer from college who got a big exit from his first startup and become a math teacher because he wanted to do something more noble than the startup grind.
Pretty sure his students aren't.
