It does not mean that people who did well in school or college are guaranteed to do well in a particular job. There is a correlation though, as well as many exceptions.

Where it was hard to let someone go or the work had little risk tolerance, we’re were a lot more cautious and depended on a lot of signals when making a hire decision, including the academic record.
