Hello HC, I was woundering how much of impaxct 9th grade has on your real life. This term has been REALLY bad for me. My grades were really bad. So I'm a bit worried. Does anyone know?

I guess it doesn't have any effect at all. Most important is when you will be leaving middle school, then final exam matters more.

Even if you dropout from your school, there is no impact in your real life.
If I were to hire a programmer, I will look at his achievement and experience,
not his grade.

Companies check your Experience and in what field have you done majors in. No one looks into 7th grades

Yeah, that is what I'm worrying about really. I really do want a good IT job when I grow up.

@"Zedex", trust me when I say your middle-school marks wont impact your financial career as long as you are trying.
It's highschool and college/university that will hit you.

Ya... definitely wont affect your employment. Even McDonald's doesnt care about your grades.

Highschool grades, more important, but still not relevant to actual employers. Basically, the minimum wage employers dont care what grades you get, and you wont get much more than minimum wage employment without a college or uni degree. The only relevance your highschool grades have are your ability to earn scholarships, bursuries, funding, etc, for post secondary. The more of those you can get, the better post-sec education you can get. But you WILL need to do well in College/Uni to get even a decent job.

Okay, but Collage is much more precise on what you want to work with, right? But, if do bad in middle school, wont that decrease the different places you can go to later and get better education?

Dude, don't worry about it.
Think about it this way... You're 18 and about to go to college, are they really going to care about how smart you were when you were like 11 years old? I mean, really, that's just not realistic. Once you're in highschool you'll look back on middleschool and think "... Wow... I thought I had to worry back then!? I must have been crazy!"

As for your question: Yes, college is much more precise when it comes to learning. If you want to be a sysadmin, go to college to be a sysadmin. If you want to be an engineer, go to college to be an engineer. There are TONS of different courses that you can choose in order to get the proper education for your desired workplace.

Middle school has had no affect whatsoever on me.

In fact, I failed most if not all of my classes through middle school (I was lazy, lol). But then in high school I exhausted all the hardest math and science classes, and then took classes at a college through my Junior/Senior year (right now I'm near the end of my Senior year in high school). The classes I've taken at the college so far are, Calculus III, Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Electrical Circuit Analysis I & II & III, Computer Science I & II, Data Structures, Calculus Physics I & II & III, Linear Circuits, Micro controllers, digital logic I & II.

As you can see... Middle school literally had no affect on high school for me.

So, don't be too hard on yourself. Colleges never look at middle school grades anyway, high school is what's most important. Good luck!
