What grades? I go to a school in the worst 1/3 of ranking overall, but we are in the top 40% for our subject. People in my subject find jobs and also go to domasters or PhD at other places. It really depends on how much effort you put in. If you sit around doing nothing, don't study or learn ancillary skills, then nobody is going to hire you regardless of where you go. Professor at my school also recognize the people who aren't idiots and really look out for you, writing good recommendations, etc.

If it's STEM you can do electrical/IT maintenance for hospitals/school boards/local government

Grades mean fuck-all in the real world, the only place they have any bearing (beyond whether you passed or failed) is OTHER educational institutions. But even then, grades would simply make entrance easier and not instantly delete any possibility of success in that route. Same applies to the reputation of a school. Exception goes to schools that give out fake documents like how in the Middle East there are shitloads of places that you can simply buy a degree from to the point where there are more people with a fake degree in the Middle East than with a real one.

1.Learn something on the Internet (coding, or something that could be done remotedly)
2. Move to Argentina
3. Offer your services in the US while living in Argentina, as the differences between the dollar and the argentinian peso are enormous, you can live with relative ease.

Nah grades to matter. Many job agencies/hr departments have an Algorithm that automatically rejects people with a grade below a certain level.

If you're good with computers and networking IT is pretty chill and pays alright if you don't have social anxiety.

Join the Airforce and make bank while doing something simple like scrubbing engines on C130s. Then once you get out businesses will be likely to overlook your mediocre grades cuz you 'served'.

Unironically thinking about joining the space force

space force has nothing to do with going to space m8

it's just an excuse to fund ambitious and expensive defense projects
