I barely graduated highschool. C student. Sucked at mathematics too. So I got a diploma in networking (this was a totally valuable experience, and definitely better for my career than a CS degree). That deploma then led me to do a CS degree. I didn't have to - I could've got a decent job just with that diploma, but I wanted to learn, and to have the whole university experience. I've been told by interviewers that they value a technical diploma like mine over a CS degree. I thrived in CS. Got fantastic grades. Found a new love and appreciation for mathematics. Now, do I think that this happens to all C students? Hell no. But I will say don't you ever disregard somebody because of their bad grades. Some people just aren't "school smart", some people are going through tough times, and some people have mental problems because of/on top of all that.
