Getting straight A's in collage not worth it
Jon Morrow sums it up to:
- No one has ever asked about my GPA.
- I didn’t sleep.
- I’ve forgotten 95% of it.
- I didn’t have time for people.
- Work experience is more valuable.
There is one exception:
If you’re getting your masters, going to law school, or becoming a doctor, then you’ll need all 37 of those A’s to get into the best school possible, and you can safely disregard this entire post.
Otherwise:
On the other hand, if you want to get a job and make as much money as possible, then good grades aren’t going to help you as your teachers and parents might have you believe. You’re better making powerful friends, building a killer résumé, and generally having the time of your life on your parent’s dime.
