Class Bullies May Earn More in Middle Age, Study Finds

School bullies are likely to end up with higher salaries, a new study suggests, upending the conventional wisdom that they will receive their comeuppance later in life.

Research published earlier this month by the U.K.’s Institute for Social and Economic Research found that children who exhibited certain kinds of problematic behavior at school, including aggressive tendencies and teasing or bullying others, had higher earnings in their 40s.

Children with “conduct problems” at school also reported higher satisfaction in work.

Meanwhile, it was children who struggled with paying attention, self-esteem, and forming relationships with their classmates who ended up performing more poorly in the labor market, and had lower satisfaction with both work and life.

Failure to finish tasks and emotional problems such as anxiety were also linked to poorer outcomes in the jobs market.

The study used data from the 1970 British Cohort Study to compare a broad range of behaviors and skills reported by teachers at the ages of 10 and 16, with educational level, earnings, working hours and occupation up to the age of 46.

The social and emotional skills identified in school-age children could help predict various facets of later life, it found. The study factored in socioeconomic details such as family income, parental employment and educational status.

Of course they do, and each and every study tells us something different, what they believe, so hence a study....

Young bullies often grow up to be adult bullies and successful in their own right.,

One of the 2 guys who bullied me in junior high is now dead. I'm tempted to say that I hope there's a special place in hell for people like that. Another guy thought I would be an easy mark when he chose me to wrestle against. Little did he know that I was not easy to take down by any stretch. Another ****er.

I see nothing wrong with wishing bad on others who've done you wrong.

Few years ago, the husband of a busybody neighbor threw a vase at her head in a drunken rage. She's just always causing problems. One time she yelled at my UBER driver because she didn't recognize him on our block and because he was black.

I smiled when I heard.

My dad was like he should have done that years ago.
