I mean small like I sneeze and a 20 dollar bill appears in my hand or something like that. Not classic answers like flying or super strength.

    Not actually sure if it’s a universal scale, so could be you just grew up with a different system, but it’s a grade point average: 4.0 means all A’s so far. There are some instances of students cranking out a 4.1 or some higher value, but I’m not sure how that happens… like you can score 100% on every assignment, and then take advantage of extra credit to get your class grade higher than 100%, but as far as GPA calculation goes, an A is an A… I think.

    …also pretty much everyone I went to highschool with who went on to a trade are now financially WAY ahead of the rest of us dumbasses who bought into some other path. You may be less educated, but definitely not stupid - and on the same page, being educated doesn’t mean someone isn’t stupid… listen to a doctor start talking about something other than their immediate field of study, and you start to realize pretty quick that some of them are just absolute hopeless morons.

    I digress :P

      Oh wow, good for you man.

      I thought it was all A’s, but that also seemed insane to me that someone can get all A’s, and as often as I’ve heard the phrase. But I was bad at school and grew up in a small town so that’s probably why haha

        Thanks! I’m lucky to have gotten both good teachers and good classmates so far (both of which can make a huge impact on grade) so I think I owe my current score at least as much to good luck as to my own study habits. I’m also pretty early into the process - I’ve never been a straight-A student before, so I doubt I’ll be able to keep this rolling all the way through completion.
