University isn’t to get A grades, it is to make connections(contacts), A grades doesn’t assure anything, contacts can save your life.

I graduated college with a 3.55. I got my first job through contacts (my sister cut the hair of all the executives’ wives, I including the CEO’s wife). They never once so much as looked at my transcript.

If you can’t make contacts, try eyeglasses.
