Hey! I was a C student! 😁
I still managed to work in engineering for thirty plus years on a few semesters of algebra , geometry and trig! LOL
The instructor that taught all of the business law and other legal courses when I was at the University of Minnesota explained grades to us:
A Students - They become professors and never practice law
B Students - They become judges after a mediocre practice
C Students - Party ... A LOT, run successful practices, and make large sums of money doing what we don't want to do for ourselves
He was a C student, a JAG officer for eight years, was a major partner in a large law firm, and made millions helping families with probate. As the former legal counsel for the Minnesota Funeral Directors Association he would help funeral homes collect payment for funerals. There is nothing that can be attached when a funeral goes unpaid. Families would claim that everything was tied up in the estate, and that it would not be available until the surviving spouse died, or the family could come to an agreement. He would then go to the public record, check on probate, and if probate hadn't been filed, he would file it. Six weeks later the Court would rule, and 95% of the time he, or his firm, would be appointed Personal Representative.
