No one gives a shit if you barely made it out of college or if you barely graduated from high school to get there. I've hired well over 60 people in my life and never asked about a gpa... and I have never been asked about my gpa.

That's the truth of the matter. The whole, get really good grades mentality goes back to the days when young people didn't work much before graduating. Now a days you better make strides into the field that you want to be in BEFORE you get out of school.
Totally agree.

Personality and being a people person is the #1 most important thing for any type of job in the business world. Even if your mediocre in your technical skills your personality can get you a long way.
