I've always said that 'street smarts' [common sense] will get 1 further in life than a bunch of 'book knowledge'....especi ally when looking for work.
Unless you're going for a college degree in law, medicine, engineering, etc....but a bunch of memorizing facts & figures won't get you shit. In this day & age, it's all WHO you know & not WHAT you know.
Good luck with that. As the competition for jobs becomes international (it already is) it is people like you that will be left behind. The day of the entrepreneurial American is fast disappearing to. You want to be a lawyer or the guy who fixes the lawyers toilet? Besides memorizing is good for your brain.
