[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS graduated last year with a 2.7 GPA in accounting and got a very good paying job, 97K salary, and the company is paying for his grad school. He was a D1 athlete, not sure if that matters.  He was told by his boss that he was picked over three candidates with 4.0 GPA, one from UCLA and two from UVA.[/quote]

Oh, it matters!  Our HR person actually calls the recent grads references.  I'm not going to lie.  When Coaches from D! schools are references, like Nick Saban or Mack Brown take you call and brag about your son who is applying for a job, it matters a great deal.  These coaches often brag about the work ethic of kids that graduate with lower grades and were not stars in their athletic programs.

We have several D! athletes in our company and they are some of the best employees ever.  They are not discouraged from our criticism of their work product when they do poorly.  Just like on the field, they pick themselves up and just keep going![/quote]
