Yeah! I did my senior thesis in an 8-person biochemistry lab, graduated in 2009. I was probably solidly in the bottom 2 students of the group. I was just as smart as my labmates, and I had a lack of attention to detail and a weak work ethic. A handful of them went on to more education, and most of them stayed in the field. I think I might be doing the best, career-wise, unless any of them pivoted to be a medical doctor. I got fired from a biotech job (that pesky work-ethic...) and learned python while working data-entry. Being a C student in college kinda paid off, if it helped me dodge a career in the life sciences. Linkedin/FB stalked, of the 8 of us we have: Research Associate (has a Masters now), Phd/MD Student, Scientist II, Research Lab Tech (might be unemployed & traveling the world?), Research Lab Tech, PhD Student, Physician's Assistant, Senior Software Eng. All but one of these people are harder-working than I am, and all are just as smart. I just lucked out by having an economist for my dad, who planted the idea that I should look at switching to a field in demand.
