I disagree with OP.
I was a straight C student all through my STEM degree. It took me 2 extra years to graduate because I hated school but I could always see a future and the light at the end of the tunnel.
3 years later I'm in meetings with government officials as an expert in my particular field.
It's all about attitude. If you're focused on the negatives as in your post you will never find success in anything you do. All the points you mentioned can be refuted with a positive aspect about what you're complaining about.
