Have I failed life?
hello im trying to figure out my best options as of right now.
I am 21 years old, a junior in college, with horrible grades.
I have never interned at any good institution because my grades are crap.
In terms of skills, I have been working in real estate as a freelancer for different offices to sell clients, I am very good at sales.I also like mathematics since im doing a management science degree.
but i suck as a person, i have no work ethics or responsibility, I don't know weather this is a phase im going through or am i just going to be like this for the rest of my life.
i dont know what else to do, i'm trying to overcome my lazyness.
My grades can be fixed since i can take those classes again.
so my question is,
if i were to fix my grades, graduate when im 23 with a management science degree and a math minor, will i stand in a strong position to land a job in quantitative business field or asset management?
Or will i need to go to grad school?

no seriously, I'm losing it
no seriously, I'm losing it here just thinking about it. I'm not stupid the grades can be fixed, besides my math GPA is over 3.5 rounded...I'm an excellent problem solver (expect for my own problems). Just need to know whether applying for a job coming out of college at 23 with over a 3 and a screwwwwed up transcript going to land me a job??

my grades are horrible like 2.0 horrible. My college life consisted of partying, drugs, and over sleeping for everything. But recently I've kinda woke up and realized I should get my shit together. is it too late? I would like someone to give me a straight answer and some options. Thank you very much.
Na bro, you're good. It's
Na bro, you're good. It's actually an amazing time to be an underachiever imo. You see, all the half decent jobs are swallowed up by those already "in industry" who got laid off and would rather downgrade than exit altogether. All that leaves is shit that "overachievers" would rather pass on and wait on the sidelines, than ratify their loss. You probably won't even be competing with these ppl. On the other hand, if you have high standards- yea, I'd probably say you're fucked. I've seen plenty of ppl multiples lazier than you (I'm just gonna assume here bcuz I know nothing about you, lol) who got picked up by not giving a shit about wat exactly they were accepting

No, it could be worse. You
No, it could be worse. You have luck and time on your side. Keep your head up, options open and be optimistic. Make a plan and be realistic about your goals.
Also, remember that you define success and failure. Everything is relative.

Firstly, take a deep breath. I didn't graduate with decent grades nor did I graduate with much experience, so from experience you aren't screwed. Secondly, you note your good at sales. That is an extraordinarily good skill set to possess and quite honestly it is something that can carry you a long way. Every time I look around on job boards there are tons of sales jobs out there. They aren't ideal and certainly aren't easy, but hey, you run with what you have. Since you can fix your grades, I wouldn't be worrying about that side of the equation. The initiative to actually fix them does count for quite a bit at this point. Once they are fixed, that will make doors open more easily but obviously isn't the key at the end of the day. Get out there and get to it. You aren't screwed.
