Well, you know, Miss Tonks Mrs Ponds was one of the top students in her year. She got NEWTs in practically everything, Os or Es in all of them, and the only job she could find after Hogwarts was collecting dustbins at the Ministry.
And then she went to work for Mr Ponds and that turned out alright for her. But still.
But, she was from a particularly notorious family. I'm sure that didn't help her. (Plus ordinarily having Mrs Malfoy and Mrs Lestrange as aunts would help someone get ahead but in her case I think it made things worse.)
