Understanding your unique circumstance will allow zeroing on your strategy how to improve your study habits. You probably think that taking a teacher who is not too strict and passing with 60% to 70% is an accomplishment given your deficiency.
Well the good news is that there ways you can train yourself to do better in school and succeed with better grades. Better grades only give you an edge when it comes to getting a job interview. Once you are in the driving seat, grades go down the drain. Now the important thing is know how to remember things, understand concepts and be able to express them in a way your interviewers understand.
There are ways you can develop to accomplish this objective. Some of the previous videos give you some idea on this area. But the important factor is that you need to have a passion for learning what you have decided to study. If you feel you are not gonna enjoy this career, then perhaps is not too late to change direction and get into a career that will be more fulfilling for you.
Just like gailcalled said, mediocrity will only lead you to a mediocre lifestyle. I’m sure you’re not looking forward to a high paying job of $7 per hour washing dishes at McDonalds. You must decide and act now to get passion to learn that which you feel you can be good at and master that skill to the point where you can market yourself as a valuable asset employers want to have in their organization.
