Sometimes you can get good enough just by being more focused, and sometimes you can't get good enough no matter what you do. Lots of people believe everyone can get a college degree, but the sad truth is, college is not for everyone. If you can't cut it in college, you should consider going to vocational/trade school, or becoming an apprentice, or joining the military, or finding good-paying jobs that only need a high school diploma, or finding someone to.marry so you don't have to work two jobs just to pay the bills.
