[quote=Anonymous]Me! I graduated as a low C student in 1990 from a public HS in a major metro area. The school’s counselor told me where to apply, and the colleges I was accepted to were a low level state and local private (which accepted me conditionally based on maintaining grades first year). I chose local private and commuted - didn’t have a fun college experience but worked part time as waitress whole time. Majored in what I liked (english and writing). Once I graduated, I hustled big-time on work. Took jobs as assistants at major ad agencies in Manhattan and worked my way up. No one knew I was a poor student in HS. Ended up running a magazine’s ad department and then started my own ad consulting biz. Ultimately made mid six figures a year til I quit 16 years ago to stay home with my kids (also advertising changed due to web). Basically it’s all in the mindset. A switch went off during my junior year of college where I wanted to work hard and make money. Ended up more financially successful than my bro who went to a top 20. Hope this helps. [/quote]
