Article that brings up AI & grade inflation as reasons for the difficulty in hiring recent grads. Some interesting anecdotes on how employers are differentiating recent graduates.[/quote]
Grade inflation? Since when have companies started checking or caring about grades. And why? Academic performance is nothing like a corporate job. [/quote]
Some care. I don't hire kids with Cs in calculus and physics for engineering positions. [/quote]

Do you care if the C was caused by illness and a prof who didn't care, not ability?[/quote]

A clear example of how parents are raising coddle children.

You think an employer is going to take the time to interview the C kid to ever even hear why they got a C? On top of which, even if the kid has the opportunity to explain, it is a red flag for what that person as an employee would be like. Always having an excuse as to why it isn't their fault for underperforming. [/quote]

I'm pp, and that's a hiring problem. DS went to a [b]famously hard math school (where many, including business students, flunk courses).[/b] If they were recruiting there and see a C over an A at a local community college, they might not realize that the student didn't even opt to take the much harder class.
