Sounds like me. Once you've had your first break, things will change, once someone inside industry knows you, you'll have no trouble.. That first job though, it's hard.. I can't answer how to handle being bad at school, because I was, too, and I just coasted through it, got lousy enough grades in things I didn't care about, just can't force myself to spend extended periods of time doing something I don't care about. I was lucky that the last project in school, I was able to chose my own, and I found something to work on that I loved, it became a passion project and so, the result was pretty good and I was able to impress at the examn, the censor invited me to apply for a job at his place, and thus I got my first job.
