Yes it might. Peg to the S&P 500 and STI. We always look at how many % you beat the index by. Not absolute returns. S&P go up 24% this year u get 25% returns, nothing special. If S&P drop 24% this year and u get 25% returns, ****ing impressive.

Consistency is key too. Maintain a consistently high returns over a benchmark index maybe over 3-4 years at least. Much more valuable than your degree.
