Hard work definitely pays off, but you just have to know where invest your effort.
I was always super hard on myself about doing well in school. Now I'm in my third year at Boston College, and a little more indifferent about what's going on. I agree with what Brian said, just get your piece of paper. I was mistaken coming here, thinking that it really mattered what major you choose. In actuality, it couldn't matter less. Even for special fields, it's not quite as critical as you might assume; i.e. I could've finished my pre-med requirements without being a bio major.
So, my advice is go wherever's cheapest (BC is at $46K/yr now, but at least they pay for most of it), pick a cush major that has some sort of relevance to what you think you might want to do (bio for now, basket weaving next semester), and get out as fast as possible.
My brain is fried from school for so long. I both own a company, and work for a media company; and I like both my jobs very much. I just want to work for a while and realize my earning potential before coming back for a masters or my MD.
