Abstract
Educational attainment, defined as years of education completed, possesses significant genetic influences quantified using a polygenic risk score. Using this polygenic score, we predict academic performance during childhood and adolescence, and financial responsibility during emerging adulthood. Subsequently illuminating a possible developmental pathway and novel implications for this polygenic score.
