[quote=Anonymous][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]

Go make connections if you don’t have any.  People complain about frat bros have better jobs over their hardworking college kids because of connections.  If you can’t fight them, join them.  You have much bigger issues if you can’t network in college or in life.[/quote]
