What if you don't excel in anything?

  Are you looking outside the academic frame of reference?  I think everyone is great at something.  :viking:

Anything. Academic or not.

Sure, I have a degree but my grades were mediocre. 80% was my highest. Outside of academia there's nothing.

Well, after graduating with a Bachelor of Psychology I went to Tafe college and got a Certificate III in IT. That didn't get me a job either.

So now I work part-time as a cleaner, sanitizing office spaces and a kids gym. I'm paid well though.

I kinda cruised thru high school and dropped out of an engineering degree. I had zero study skills.

Kinda stumbled into an IT traineeship and 36 years later still in IT. It was a different world, even with qualifications it's almost impossible to get a start in IT now.
