GPAs are all relative too depending on the school. A 2.9 in one place could be harder to get than a 3.5 elsewhere. I find GPAs to be kind of weird anyway when it comes to getting a job. GPAs do not indicate how well yuo will do any specific job.

This is also a good point. I went to a pretty reputable university where my GPA probably means a higher GPA at a school somewhere else. I mean, I honestly didn't even really care about my GPA at the end of it (well, I did to the extent that I always worked hard for my grades). I have confidence in my abilities and know that I am smart enough to handle what comes my way.

baystateapple · February 2012

Also, depending on your career path, prospective employers are going to look at a hell of a lot of other things besides that GPA. I'm in a graduate studies program for history, and whoever I end up working for is going to be looking at my output of work, what I've published, my thesis, etc.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

Also, I know people who are INSANE smart and they just don't do well in school because the class/HW structure doesn't fit their abilities as well. They could go into a job in their field and excel but put them in a classroom and they are bored out of their mind. So school grades =/= intelligence.

Definitely. I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have the GPA I do if I were at a major university, but I'm lazy and the CC is serving its purpose for now.

But you have a 4.0 right? That is awesome no matter where you go.

Holly -- She sounds like a walking contradiction. Lovely.

ErinG93 · February 2012

I don't think GPA is the best indicator of a good student or smart individual. I think employers are going to be looking at the prospective employee as a whole. I also think job experience and/ or internships plays a larger role than GPA. If you have a summer internship related to the field you're looking to work in, but a lower GPA, you'll probably get a job over someone with no experience and a high GPA.

josephwedding · February 2012

I read a little of the OP from Holly's link. She sounds like a real peach.

baystateapple · February 2012

Adamar, you're not lazy. You're smart and frugal.

Well and the thing that sucks is this. When I first started college, i was not prepared, I did not do well. I was averaging a 2.5 or lower every trimester. By junior year, I got my ass in gear and my GPAs were anywhere between 3.4 and 3.7. But those first two years killed my GPA but obviously they were not an indication of my recent work.

Thanks :) The only reason I care so much about the GPA is because I will pretty much be guaranteed a spot in the school's nursing program since they base admission solely on GPA. Then I'll hopefully transfer to the university to get my bachelors or masters.

Thanks Bay ♥

And I think when people are applying to grad school, the grad school will see that and recognize it. It does suck for a resume though because you don't usually submit your transcript with, heh.

Babies are way cooler & more fun than any wedding I've been to. Just sayin'

SunriseAmber · February 2012

I have a cross board flame. I flame Missy. In the AYG thread on SB she got called out for something by Blue. She argued for a bit then for some reason told Blue she knows what she is "going through". Which has nothing to do with what ANYONE was talking about. To me it came off kind of creepy. I just don't understand why all of a sudden you wanted to say something like that? Eh, maybe Blue didn't think anything of it but I'd be like WTF.

adamar, yeah that does sound kinda asshole-ish. I apologize.

I've been to one really fun wedding. The rest were either drama filled or total snoozers.

I really wasn't searching for things to get into her about. It was lame for her to think that just because she didn't say it in that thread that it could never be found and I felt bad for the bride. I don't interact with CMGr enough to feel the need to pick her apart just for the heck of it.

Holly, I almost couldn't believe that the OP was being serious. How someone could be so selfcentered that they think someone else's ovulation cycle is their business. It makes me really sad that people actually could be annoyed about something like that.

[QUOTE]Meg, I agree. Plus, all the planning in the world sometimes doesn't do any good when it comes to fertility. Our bodies sometimes do whatever they want, despite our best laid plans. But, yes, make sure you don't have sex at all if you are in a wedding or invited to a wedding. Don't interfere with the wedding. That's just rude. FFS.
Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

<div>Haha seriously. This bugs me just as much as people getting pissed that someone else decided to get married before them, especially if they were engaged first. FFS because your wedding is second, it's going to be less cool and not a big deal and no one will want to come. Weddings happen all the time. </div>
