+1. not saying ts has poor results btw. generally there are only book smart vs street smart students and the rare ones that have both. if you're not the rare bunch or the book smart ones then you should obviously focus on your passion that can create something with value to the future. it can be a service (btw if u are an engineer, you are of service to your company n country) or a business. simply put it, you are worth as much as your skills. even if you are a doc,engineer that graduated wit 1st class honours, u get a ticket to more choices of companies, bigger firms n organisations.

doesnt mean bigger public listed companies are better than smaller ones. in those companies, ur skills still matter, after all, the company wants only the best of the best who can get the job done and get them the profit, not the best student of Uni of (insertnamehere) 2012. n how quickly you develop them depends on your passion n your strengths.

haters, im not saying academics are not important, but they do not determine your success in the future. its all in your hands. so do what you love, and love what you do.
