No I missed that one! But if I understand what you are saying it is
that 67% of the men who were Boy Scouts did not make more than $50,000
correct? That covers Group 1. That doesn't say much for our earning
potential!
What does Group 2 say then? That only 17% of the non Boy Scouters made
more than $50,000? Where are the rest of the Group 2 people???
