[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t think school or GPA matters long term. I graduated a mediocre college with a 2.6 GPA other than hard to get first job out of school by 23 no one cared. I did a part time MBA at night company paid for got a 3.0 GPA bare minimum to graduate.

All companies care about is you have the degrees. I landed $350k to 400k jobs during career.

Today you can get a VP or SVP job with a felony conviction.

Biden went to Delaware and Trump Fordham neither good students I bet.[/quote]

I was a lousy student in college. I had lots of horrible stuff going on and was completely unmotivated. BUT ... I eventually graduated with a computer science degree (with a very unimpressive academic transport). Three years out of school, I was making a fortune. I had a lot of luck after graduation, but you are right -- nobody ever asked me about my college grades when they were hiring me. It only mattered that I had a degree. Beyond some basic programming, I didn't use what I learned in school in my IT career. I learned what I needed to know on the job. I made enough money that I was able to quit work ten years out of college and study all the fun humanities stuff that I love. I was never interested in my major. My parents refused to sign surety on my student loan unless I took a science degree, and I landed in computer science through a process of eliminating other majors I flunked out or hated more than I did computer science. I did not find my job in the computer industry interesting or fulfilling, but it was certainly rewarding monetarily.
