Their bosses didn't get the high grades, but have the personalities to make more money, have better benefits, get more perks and not have to bury their nose in a computer dividing by zero and making toothpick bridges (or whatever it is an engineer does all day).

If I think back to the popular kids in high school who didn't care much about grades, they were about 50/50 to be successful or were Al Bundy types that peaked in high school and didn't amount to much.
I did read an interesting thing the other day that 95% of fortune 500 CEOs played college sports. I'm not really sure what to read into that, but I think that putting enough effort into getting good enough grades while spending enough time on a sport to play at a collegiate level is putting in some pretty solid effort during HS/College years.
