[quote=Anonymous]I was expelled from DCPS in 11th grade. Went to Montgomery College for 3 semesters then applied to 4-year colleges. Got into a decent but not amazing state school. Barely graduated with a 2.3GPA. (12th from the bottom in a class of 1,200!) It took me a while to find a professional job after college, mostly because I graduated in 2008. Virtually nobody asked or cared what my grades were like when applying to places. Eventually got an entry level nonprofit job, did the whole "temporarily poor but upwardly mobile yuppie" thing for a few years living in group houses and eating ramen. Made my way into government after a few years and am now a GS-13. My career track is and was virtually identical to the rest of my friends who stayed in DC long-term. My poor grades in high school and college has zero impact on my post-college life. "C's get degrees" as the old saying goes. [/quote]
