Er, why do you care?

Make sure you do lots of extra-curricular work that you enjoy, and that's difficult. If your grades aren't great, you can show off projects to get jobs. If you want to make your own job, grow it out of your projects.

I failed out of school, and I'm an inconsistent employee at best, but I only know a couple of people who work harder than I do, and they're all business owners.

I care because I was under a lot of pressure the other day.

I do work a lot on my own. I too know only of a handful of guys who are more willing to learn than me.
