<p>why do people here think that high grades in college is a prerequisite for a good life? It’s so strange. Try having a chronic debilitating illness or getting disfigured in an accident. I know some pretty happy people that didn’t even go to college.</p>
<p>I was looking through facebook and saw pics of this one blue collar trade school guy from my high school. He had a gorgeous girlfriend and lots of friends and I’m sure he makes decent money. Is life over for him? Maybe I’m missing something.</p>
<p>In any case, I’d be happy to come out of MIT with a 2.0. Why kids there kill themselves I have no idea.</p>
