"C Students run the world"
I love the implication: "You'll do better in the real world if you're a C student." This is, of course, ridiculous.
This seems to contradict number 1 as well... Why work hard or put any effort in to succeed, if by doing so you are just going to end up teaching a B student to work for a C student.
He does make some valid points though,
100% agree with:
If you’re finishing of college thinking these have been the best four years of my life, you are doomed for failure. There is no reason why college should be the best four years of your life, as there is nothing fancy about drinking warm beer and overdosing on Adderall before finals. College is the first step to reaching the best years of your life. When you make this statement you suggest that life has peaked during college. This mindset instills a sense of mediocrity that will cause you to miss what life truly has to offer. You are basically implying that your z-score chart is on it’s downward trend.
Whenever I hear someone say "these are the best years of our lives!!" I cringe.
It depends what job you're looking at going for. Law, medicine, engineering, and science all require good grades. Business does not, since business is focused more on selling yourself and who you know (in many ways, though there are definitely some positions where this is not true). The C students who are successful didn't dick around and skate through their classes. They were busting their ass outside of school to make something of themselves and their grades suffered because of it.
Honestly, I'd take a C student with strong work experience over an A student with no work experience, and I know a number of hiring managers who think the same way.
Those hiring managers must not work on Wall Street. I bet a lot of kids on this forum who wish they did.
They don't.
College is not hard enough that a smart, driven kid should ever be allowing himself to get C's on a regular basis, no matter how hard you are hustling to get into the industry. I went to a target and did almost no work and my GPA was nowhere near a C average. I am sure most people who are college graduates on here would agree.
The kids who hustle and work hard do not then turn around and get 70's in classes. C average students just blew off school and enjoyed sleeping.
