[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid graduated from one of the big 3 private schools in the DMV with a 2.8 GPA.  He attended UVA on a partial athletic scholarship and graduated with a 2.1 GPA in accounting major two years ago.  He got his first job through a Sidwell alumni, who played the same sport and graduated twenty years ago, for 90K/yr with bonus.  He just got promoted to director of sale with a salary of 300k/yr.  Networking is 100 times more important than grade.  [/quote]

It's weird that you are semi bragging about your kid having such a poor GPA. Is he lazy or just dumb?

Either way, nothing to be proud of.[/quote]

Such an offensive remark.

I am proud that my kid graduated with 2.1 GPA because I know he did everything that was asked of him and more.  You can only control how much hard work you put in,  you can not control the outcome.  I am glad the school alumini saw his hard work ethic and gave him the opportunity to succeed.

College football and NFL are littered with failure millionaire coaches.  They failed so many times that's why they succeed.[/quote]
