View submission: Do highschool grades matter?
Totally agree with this. Delivering well on what is expected and required is more valuable in your working life than being a visionary or disrupter for 99% of people. Sounds lame but if you're not well connected or a genius, being demonstrably good at doing something people need you to do is a necessary element to achieving career success. Why wouldn't it be?

For sure. It’s also the first generation ever where young people have been able to get wealthy on their business ideas or achieve goals in a scalable way.
Previously, “success” *always* required some type of apprenticeship or tutelage…I try to keep that perspective whenever shortcuts seem like the enticing route to take.
