    3.7 and no clue what I am doing career wise. I'm a criminal justice major so something in that field I suppose. I'm taking a class in being a Computer Forensics Examiner and that seems relatively interesting

    I forgot what mine was since it was so many years ago, but I did land a good job in the government. But the job was really boring so now I work in smaller but more exciting companies.

    Al related to translation, but in the end GPA doesnt prove anything...

    But better to have a good one than a bad one. That is for sure.

    3.93, but I don't do any extra stuff at school. No leadership stuff, clubs, no internships.

    So it will probably be irrelevant when I graduate which makes me sad. I'm not going to graduate school, I have no money.

    Despite being in a state of unofficial war with the United States in 1799 and having just risen to power himself in France, Napoleon, with news of the passing of George Washington, ordered ten days of mourning across all of his armies.

    3.87 overall if i remember... i assume it helped my land my job because my interview was completely non-technical ( for a technical position ).. also tutored my junior and senior years and was involved in student government.

    I graduated with a 3.1 and had a job 2 months before I graduated.

    Never once did employers ask about my GPA through the half a dozen interviews I had.

    I did have an internship though. There they did want at least a 3.0 GPA. It was more of a requirement, not a measurement of skill. If you have above a 3.0 you were considered as much as somebody with a 4.0.

    It really depends on the company and position. Some want to see a GPA above 3.0, others want to see the GPA above 3.5. Some don't care just want to see the degree. There are other factors, too. For example, employers will take a lower GPA with more experience over a perfect GPA with little/no experience.

    3.0... 2.978. Only because I got a D in Art History, a class I completely ignored and hated. I even paid someone on WoW 200 gold for their essay.

    I think my gpa is 3.2.

    All I know though is that at my job (waffle house) in order to be a basic entry level manager (for one store not even like a district or anything like that) they are looking for a 4 year degree...

    For some reason I foresee in the very near future that having a degree is going to be like at the very least going to high school and not really worth anything at all unless you get a masters or a phd...

    So it's like what it use to be except back then it was only public education and to get the same job you didn't have to go thousands of dollars in debt...

    Grades don't matter in the long run, but depending on the type of job you seek, some employers won't even look at you unless you reach a certain threshold.
