From my class - one Tony winner, that I know of. And a Chicago blues musician (former roommate).
From my surrounding classes - a Pulitzer winner, an off-Broadway director (former roommate), a transexual sports writer, and Tucker Max.

I graduated with a class of 700+ students. Maybe some of them have more "interesting" lives (but what constitues "interesting"???), but I bet I'm having the most fun!

I'm probably the only one is Korea. Does that make me the most interesting?

Depends... are we talking people in our programs or everyone we graduated with?

There were 6,000 people in my uni graduating class, 1,000 from my college alone & I don't know how many from my program.

Most of the people that I actually knew were from the intern/student teacher program in Washington, DC & we were a pretty interesting crowd. I'm not sure what everyone's doing right now, but I know there are a few diplomats & international lawyers in the group. There might be one or two in the FBI by now too.

So, I guess the answer is no. Laughing

From my college class? I went to Wisconsin, my college class has about 20,000 people. So unequivocally NO. I am sure one of those 20,000 is doing something more interesting than teaching children to say "Hi. I'm fine, thanks. And you?"

Damn. Where'd you go to school?

OP, give us details on the guy who's doing life- what'd he do, and do you know him fairly well? Criminals (esp. murderers) fascinate me. I would spend all day reading true crime novels if I could.

If you visit your school's website, there should be an alumni page. I went to an art school. Sounds like everyone is still struggling, although every now and then someone lands a good gig (my ex best friend is producing the Clarins campaign, but that would bore me to tears, because I think Clarins generally uses close-ups of their products on a white background. Boring. Main reason why I got out of photography after 1 year in...).

I suspect that the interesting people from my college class don't spend very much time on internet message boards.

Business was one of my two majors and a classmate soon after graduation went up into the Arctic Circle to become an accountant and administrator for the Inuit in Inuvik and Tuktiuktuk on the Arctic Ocean. I dunno if she took her pet tarantula with her. Not the most popular person in the world but darn interesting.

Are you doing the most interesting thing?

- one paramedic / ambulance driver
- one Ontario provincial policeman
- one RCMP out in Saskatchewan
- 3 or 4 work for Microsoft out west
- one does statistical analysis for the Pentagon (or maybe just the State Department in general, not sure)
- one is doing viral research somewhere in Nebraska (full professor, too)
- 2 work for Pixar as animators
- 2 work for Industrial Light and Magic
- one works for Disney
- one is a special effects propmaster out in Vancouver
- several guys own their own software company in Toronto

Those are the ones I know about.

Oh, I forgot a woman who graduated a year before me is an Assistant General Manager with the LA Dodgers. Probably the person I envy the most.

We have our own wiki page.

I think I am the most interesting person among my classmates.
I've heard through one of my friends that I was a BIG NEWS to them because I married to an American, then I heard I was even a BIGGER news when I became a widow, then I heard I was the BIGGEST news when they learn how much I inherited from my late husband. Many of my classmates still not married and a couple years ago
when I visit korea I visited one of my teachers, he said " You were always different from the rest of students "Very Happy

But you're Korean. To become the most interesting one in your University, all you had to do was have style, or tint your hair, or NOT wear Ugg boots in winter.
