Left-Handed College Students
If you are one of the left-handed students who's struggled throughout your school years to adjust to right-handed desks, scissors, etc., in classrooms, you might take comfort in the findings of a study by Lafayette College and Johns Hopkins University.
They found that left-handed male college graduates end up making 26% more than their right-handed counterparts.
Possibly not unrelated, throughout history it appears that a disproportionate number of the world's most creative people were left-handed.
There is no definitive explanation for these findings.
However, there is a downside. An estimated 2,600 left-handed people die each year by using devices designed for right-handed people.
