This is true
All though High School (and Uni) you might think "at the end of the day, what happens happens, if I don't work hard now I can always get a good job"

But really, better qualifications = more open doors.

I have a 2:2 degree and really really regret not pushing harder in my third year. Looking at a lot of graduate prospects as well, 2:1 is often the minimum and I end up face palming.
