Re: Re: Are your grades worth anything?

From my years of experience in big companies, I would not entirely agree -- however, I do believe that grades become less important as the "real life" experience level increases. There may become a point where grades, per se, aren't important -- but the degree is still one of the stronger calling cards a person has. I don't believe that happens until a few years into your career, though.
You still have to get that first job. By the way, an internship is NOT a job. It's a great place to learn, but interns, by and large, aren't given huge amounts of responsibility and aren't under anywhere close to the pressure to perform as employees are.
