Once you're out, no one (meaningful) will care about your GPA. They'll care about your degree. I wouldn't say that. Depending on your degree and where you graduated from, your GPA is the only thing that can set you apart from the lazy students and the idiots in your class. Many local degree mills will make sure you don't wash out as long as you aren't ear-biting retarded and your tuition check clears. We certainly take it into consideration when determining which new grads to interview when we've got a stack of resumes. |

I am in my late thirties now. Looking back my college years were some of the easiest years of my adult life. Go to classes a few hours a week, study a little here and there, and drink a lot of beer. Quite honestly I did not put a whole lot of effort into it and I graduated with a 3.5 GPA. I did what I had to do in order to get good grades but I really didn't apply myself and learn as much as I could which I kind of regret. I have some former classmates that I don't think are really any smarter than me but they immersed themselves in their education and you can tell the difference in how much they know. They are not really ahead of me in life and I am doing fine but if I could go back and do it again I would have learned a lot more.

Once you're out, no one (meaningful) will care about your GPA. They'll care about your degree. Sure, if you've got a degree that doesn't mean anything. Which means today, getting a job is going to be a pure bitch. Somewhere around 2 million kids get bachelors or masters degrees each year, and a large portion, maybe a third to a half, aren't finding work in their fields. We don't even give a second look at a resume that has below a 2.8 to 3.0. But then we're hiring for engineering. Like wearing a suit to the interview, if you couldn't figure out that GPA meant something in college we don't have time for you, no matter how many peace corps assignments you had and how many gay pride parades you marched in. But if you are going to be a cop, and GPA (ie, the measure of your ability to learn and retain information) doesn't matter, I guess that explains a lot. |

Meh, I've failed out of classes before. I distinctly remember working full time third shift and falling asleep in some generic assed writing class. The teacher woke me up and all my zombie brain could think was to say "sorry, tired", which got the class laughing
I also failed out of a race / ethics class, and met my SO when I retook it

Therefore, he probably went to some shitty out of country med school, did poorly there, had a horrible match for residency in something he probably didn't want to do, and is just like Dr. Nick Riviera.

First BS was in biology. After much thinking, it's not a field I see myself making a career in. Engineering is the field I want to make a career in. Not enough crossover to go straight to an MS. So I might just take a couple years of undergrad and go for an MS, or I might get the BSME and work with that. Haven't decided yet but the first couple years of either is the same. |

It's not that "hard" to get As and Bs. No, it's not that hard. You do just have to put in the work. All I'm saying is that work can go up dramatically in upper-division courses. It also depends on your major and your professor. My biochemistry professor sucked, and it's not an easy course to begin with. I pulled a B, but it was the hardest B I ever earned. The couple weeks before finals, I was literally spending at least five hours a day in the library just reviewing biochem. I think out of a class of at least a hundred, there were ten As, tops, and most of those were grad students. You can do it. Just don't get comfortable because of your first semester. |

Undergrad degree might as well be a HS diploma these days. Everybody and their brother gets funneled into college now instead of going right to work or a trade school; they're pumping out degrees like crazy. Now we have all these fuckstick millenials bitching about how they can't get a job with their underwater basket weaving degrees so they move back home and/or go on the government dole.
Maybe they won't scour your transcripts for GPA but they'll sure as shit hire the guy with deans list, academic honors and other goodies on their CV over "yet another schlub with yet another degree." |

Had a circuit analysis final this morning that I think I did alright on, might make an A in that one. Thermo I is tomorrow morning, if I can do well on that one I'll end up with a high B or a low A.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Once you're out, no one (meaningful) will care about your GPA. They'll care about your degree. I would disagree with this statement. I have had employers ask for my GPA and copies of my transcripts. Granted I work in a very technical field, but still in a very competitive job market it can still be used as a means to judge applicants. |

Failed calc 3 last semester, took two summer classes to fix it and worked 60 hours a week all summer. I have passed everything this semester, except for Differential Equations which is a little iffy, But I take that final in about two hours, and only need a 74 on the final to pass. After this my math classes are done and I get to the fun engineering classes. Major is ME  
Keep telling yourself here come the "fun" classes, because maybe if you say it enough it will come true

Do you have any idea how much money straight As can get you? No need for student debt if you are on scholarship. If I can do it anyone can. Work less at your job and study as hard and as often as you would otherwise work. Profit. Thank me later. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Time to learn a trade I already got gunsmithing down. Do you have any idea how much money straight As can get you? No need for student debt if you are on scholarship. If I can do it anyone can.

He got $4500/year academic scholarship. |
