[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he like, OP?

College grades only really matter if you are going to grad school. Otherwise, yes, he needs to just cross that finish line. Is there a line of work he likes that he could pursue while he's in school? Internships that sort of thing? Because his next stop is employment. Focus on that.[/quote]

Agree with this. [/quote]

Selective employers will absolutely ask about college grades and the absence of a GPA on a resume is a red flag.[/quote]

Also a red flag when young persons omit ACT/SAT, college GPA and honors from LinkedIn. Everyone knows why they’re not on there, you’re not conning anyone. [/quote]

I think that, for OP's purposes, the C's are just for the purpose of having a college degree.  It's better to have C's and get the degree, than to not get the degree.  I have a DS like OP's son, and they are not so delusional as to think that they can get some highly competitive job for which top grades are required.[/quote]
