To Adults: How much does College and ACT scores affect our lives?


Asked by QQQI
I'm hoping I can find out that our college decesiions and ACT scores do not rule the outcome of our lives.... anyone have any stories to share... like maybe you scored very low on the ACT but you still are a successful person? maybe you decided to major in something and ended up something completely different?

To answer your question: your test score effects your life very little. Success is determined by you. I know a number of people who have gone to school gotten a degree in one subject but are working in a completely different field. If you are not sure of what direction you want to go I suggest you go get a job in the real world to determine what route you want to take in life. I can tell you this at 18 I had no idea what I wanted to do so I went and got a job. At 27 I went to school at 32 I went back for my masters. I will make (on my own) my first million next year.
