>Everyone tells me I'm incredibly intelligent
looking at your grades I assume they are just trying to make you feel better

That's what I'm assuming

Grow to be curious about everything and learn how stuff works. Book smarts are not everything. But never stop trying to learn, and you will become wise.

Believe me, I already am. Since I was a kid I've been overly curious about EVERYTHING. Like, how things work, how people work. I built a computer a little over a year ago because I was curious as to how they work. Just....you still need good grades and shit for success.

if you talk good then you can work your way up in a corporation.

So your grades are A,C,D,C... Huh....?

Looks like it's time to drop out and start a rock band.

can you define success? without a definition how can we give an actual percentage?

in highschool I got a lot of Ds and Cs in math and science.

now i manage a small office for a psychic. I only make enough to make ends meet and have a tiny bit of money left over for going to see a movie or dinner, but i only work five hours a day.

point is that the economy is made up of more than 'successful' and 'borderline-homeless' people. you could be a waiter your entire life and never want for anything other than a night off. there are people who dropped out of highschool that later go on to be a CPA and thats more than enough to take care of you and a kid assuming your wife works.

the job market is so incredibly diverse and not every single thing requires a 6 year masters degree from an ivy league school. look around at al lthe people in your life and see what they do. things have changed, you are less likely to manage an office with just a highschool degree. but you can get into some colleges even with Ds and Cs.

just buckle down and make a badass senior year if you want to compensate.
