I agree!
If you want to work for a big company or firm, then human resource recruiters will only go to well known universities and look at students with a GPA of X.XX or higher. There are so many students and recruiters have limited time, so grades are an easy first cut off point. BUT, going to expensive universities and big companies does not equal higher long term salaries or a better quality of life.
Most employers want people with experience, produce results, and who can get up to speed quickly, etc. So, get experience in your field with co-ops or interships, learn to produce as well as lead and delegate, network, and most important have goals.
Remember, after your first "real" job, the majority of employers do not care about colleges grades at all!
