Marian:  My youngest took the tests back in 1993 & got a perfect score with a H.S. education plus a yr. at Penn State on the Dean's List. (Didn't know what he wanted to do: the USMC "solved" that problem for him. ) Today, he's happily married, & has a career in a STEM field & makes easily into the six figures.

It was common after WW2 in the 50's & 60's for boys that were "misguided" to be sentenced to either jail or the military. Many chose the military & turned their lives around, mostly due to inculcating discipline,  self-respect, respect for others & generally the skills that were needed to have a good life. Many of these kids are so lost that maybe we should resume this idea. It worked once!
