View submission: Do highschool grades matter?
Someone once told me - “Grades just tell people you did the work; college, high school, those aren’t going anywhere. So you can do the work now, or you can do it later, but you’ll eventually realize how precious time really is.”
Just because you get shit grades doesn’t mean you are an irredeemable dumb-dumb. It just means you are gonna have to work harder later on to make up for missed time. You can fail high school, flunk out of community college, get fired from McDonalds for being high, go to jail for dealing, and still end your life with a PhD. You will have just wasted a whole lot of time before getting to where you wanted to be.
