I could try learning and growing all I can but what's the point if there are other people who are probably going to be hired over me? It's not "just school", it's my future too. My career. My life. If I fail at that.... well, then I'm pretty much useless, don't you think?
At that point, what then is there to do?

No, you definitely won't be useless just because you don't get hired in your field right away. You're an important, unique person who is doing the best you can and working very hard. That gives you empathy for other people who have to work very hard and it makes you a role model for them. There is a lot more to life than just intelligence and career success. There's acquaintances, friends and relationships, there's art, there's time enjoying oneself alone, reading, exercising, sleeping...
