Current Events > Repeating a 5 year degree to get better grades

(+) Yeah! (+)

What are the benefits of doing a 5 year degree (4 years undergrad 1 years post grad) that youve already done to get better grades?
---

Improving an application to grad school? Nothing else really comes to mind.
---

Can you do that?
---

like exact same program?
---

If youve already taken the class then just take the clep exam after studying some and hope for a better grade. $80 for an exam beats retaking a semester long class

don't do that tc

just get a couple years of entry level employment experience and then remove your gpa from your resume

the only benefit to repeating the degree is wasting tens of thousands of dollars
---

The benefits are unlimited here
---

That sounds like a horrific idea
---

Just get a different degree.
---

Thanks guys just enrolled in the exact same degree

Heres to another 5 years of slacking off
---

Yeah no problem - also you might want to consider going back to high school as well first to get those grades up
---

Not to be crude but this sounds like one of the biggest wastes of money and time possible, unless youre trying to get into grad school and you think your gpa is holding you back.
---

Do companies care about your GPA that much when making hiring decisions? I haven't had to list my GPA on any resume since I started working.

I don't know why you did that since grades hardly matter on jobs besides the first few months at best, and as others have said you can easily just take a re-examination instead of copy pasta-ing everything.

Why? mate, Why?

If you are doing that you might as well take a new degree or better yet go job searching/entrepreneur-ing.

fuck that noise

I hope TC is trolling but if not hope he has fun wasting away 5 years of his life. Surely he won't regret that on his deathbed
