<p>Grades don’t measure intelligence. They measure your ability to process and regurgitate information. Don’t get me wrong, this is a skill and highly desired in quite a few high profile professions. But getting good grades is not the only sign of intelligence. There’s an old adage that says, “A students work for C students.” This means there’s more to be successful in the real world than being book smart…you have to understand the world too.</p>
