[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Of course there are consequences. [b]Where does a barely passing degree get most people?[/b] Whether or not you care about your grades in college depends on what your goals are after college. For people destined for entry level, low mobility jobs, it doesn't matter much; get the degree and prove yourself in the workforce. For people hoping for school beyond undergrad or the best mobility entry level jobs, it matters quite a lot. OP should ask the student what they hope to do after college.[/quote] In my experience, college kids don't REALLY grasp this until junior year when they don't get call backs after career fair and resume drops. Freshman can't really process this and also tend to be delusional about their ability to pump gpa up later and ability to bullsh*t their way into job offers.[/quote]
