    University isn’t intended to get A grades, university it’s for you to make connections with other people. A grades are good but a good business partner can save you life.

      Also regarding university figure out your reasons for studying whatever it is you’re going to study before going into massive debt for it. Too many people my age went to university a bit aimlessly because going to university after high school is what was supposed to happen. Then they spend the next decade or two kicking themselves about their debt and how they were naive about what they studied.

        Now days you can get your college courses paid for by your employer if you have a good one. A “foot in the door” full time job might get you a free Masters or better depending on who you work for and their benefits. Many companies will reimburse your college degree while you work for them. Be picky about who you work for.

      agreed, but usually those that get A stick with those that get A and from my experience you don’t want to do business with those…
