Oh, I am happier inside so I guess I can't relate to that. I have been loving being able to get a degree without having to leave my house.

I was a C average student in college because I hated my major and skipped class most days. Id pretend to go and go shopping instead and would lie to my parents.

Still got a degree and making great money. Other than maybe your first employer, no one cares about GPA after.

I mean, grad school does. And professors writing letters of rec for either academia or industry do, to the extent that it reflects your skills and work ethic.

But some Bs and Cs in sophomore year is nothing to worry about. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it at all.

At the end of college, I was offered jobs by Goodyear Corporation and Honeywell Corporation. Neither of them asked me what my GPA was

True. It depends on those things as well. Personally I just wanted to get my degree and gtfo. So it never was a factor for me.

I aimed for Cs unless it was a subject I liked or felt was important for a job I wanted. Felt like wasted time

I skipped three final exams and slept in before because I had an A in the class. I told my teachers that and they were like 'werd, you do you, you're an adult'

I was a very capable yet unmotivated student. I scraped by with a credit average.

Once you get into the job market, people dont really care about your academic transcript.

Recently had to go back and do a few individual courses to pad out my professional qualifications. HDs all around. Yeah, boi!

It honestly depends on the field. I had a very high GPA in Computer Science and it got me internships and job offers after graduating but even the people with lower GPAs got in somewhere and nobody really cares about your GPA after you have a couple years of real experience.
