My brother was considered gifted. Several of my friends were also considered gifted. Almost all of them have done well enough but nothing really too out-sized or world changing. I know one that is now homeless and another that struggles to keep crappy jobs. From my perspective, the home environment and family values makes a bigger difference in your life later than your IQ when you are little.
