Did you know this will be the high point of your life and accomplishments?

Another Valedictorian with a Ph.D.

Re: Ask me about being Valedictorian
 

Since you have a good sense of humor, I will ask some real questions.

How old are you?
Why did you take a non-traditional route to college?
What other things did you do while not in school?
What changed your mind to return to school?
What school are you graduating from?
Where are you going to to grad. school?
Where and what do you want to teach after grad. school?

Also, nice job going back and doing so well. I started going to college P/T @ twenty-five and finished ten-years later. IMO, not as easy to do when you are older and have a full life outside of school.

Though I too have the strong desire to say something sarcastic, I have to admit I'm curious about a couple of things:

(1) Did you really believe that this post would encourage anything other than sarcasm and hate?
(2) Did you have any motivation to post other than to brag?
(3) Were you hoping to encourage funny, yet snide remarks?
(4) What kinds of questions did you expect?

I am graduating today after returning to school after years of doing 'other' things. I have a GPA over 3.9, and I have been elected as the valedictorian in my course of study.

I am concluding a degree in English looking to pursue my Phd in literary studies in order to become a professor. Ask me some questions as to how I did it, or some general questions about school or how I rock.

All this hate. This guy is well grounded in the fundamentals with his English degree, and now he is ready to try and succeed where other lesser minds have failed, by trying to solve the cutthroat but practical problems of literary studies in the 21st century.

What percent of literary studies PhDs become professors?

How is a valedictorian elected rather than chosen simply based on highest GPA?
