Does your status in high school impact where you'll eventually be in the workforce? As high school graduations approach, CareerBuilder.com asked over 6,000 full-time workers age 30 and older to categorize their high school persona, and then compared those personas in terms of job level, salary, industry, and job satisfaction. Categories included personas such as student government, athlete, geek, honor society, cheerleader, drama club, teacher's pet and class clown.

Comparing job levels, the study suggests that cheerleaders were more likely to hold a vice president role. Those who were in student government and teacher's pets had the greatest number of workers serving in director/manager/team lead positions today (24 percent). Teacher's pets also had the greatest number of workers holding administrative/clerical positions (41 percent). Former honor society members, athletes and geeks were more drawn toward professional and technical services positions at 59 percent, 55 percent and 52 percent respectively.

Former student government members were more likely to report making a six figure salary with 12 percent stating they are paid an annual salary of $100,000 or more. Ten percent of honor society members said they earn six figures, followed by 7 percent of athletes, geeks and class clowns. Student government and honor society members and athletes ranked highest among those who earn an annual salary of $50,000 or more at 49 percent, 47 percent and 45 percent respectively. Teacher's pets were more likely to report earning less than $35,000 per year at 37 percent.

When examining industry groups, a greater number of cheerleaders reported going into travel and insurance than other personas while a greater number of those in student government went into education. The results also suggest that drama club and honor society members had more workers drawn to healthcare positions. Drama club was also ranked as one of the highest among personas in public administration/government. More geeks reported holding positions in engineering and retail than other personas while teacher's pets were ranked as one of the highest in construction and banking and finance. Class clowns were among the most likely of all personas to pursue a career in manufacturing and communications while more athletes were drawn to transportation.

Finally, job satisfaction levels are highest among teacher's pets and cheerleaders and geeks and class clowns had the greatest number of workers who reported dissatisfaction with their jobs.
