[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Low GPA means nothing if you have connections. I just recently hired a 2.4 GPA grad without any experience for a federal government contract job. His mother is an SES Fed at another agency and my DH, a government contractor, reports directly to her. You get the point.[/quote] Yes, but if you do not have those connections, it will be much more challenging to find that first job with only a 2.4. My 1200/3.4 UW HS kid graduated college with a 3.4+ and that's after tanking their gpa freshman year as a pre-med major. If they had started in business originally they'd have had a 3.5+ easily. And this is a kid who followed the "Cs get degrees mentality" and was not a striver to get all As. Point is: it's not that difficult to get a 3.0 in college, someone with a 2.4 was not trying very hard and for most employers they know that and would rather find someone with slightly higher gpa, as it shows grit/determination/hard work[/quote]
