I was hired to a job a year ago that required to see my transcript and GPA for a college degree I got 15 years ago. Apparently grades matter longer than you’d expect.
That’s extremely rare. That’s also extremely obnoxious because if you don’t still have those on hand, after 15 years, your university might not either.
I remember needing to get my high school transcripts in order to get a public trust clearance when I was almost 30. The school didn’t even have them anymore.
It did matter for GE. Jerks wanted 3.8 or higher to consider you. They did interviews as a formality. Didn’t matter if you went to community or ivy league. Never felt so annoyed at my life choices. Hindsight glad I didn’t get the job.
Of course my current company, my coworkers went to a local cheap party school. Like wtf was the struggle for?
The struggle is for nothing? If you went to a school with grade deflation to ‘maintain the integrity of education’? Get fucked, party schools will pass kids or allow kids to grade grub to a higher GPA.
Well yeah. Your college GPA doesn’t matter unless you’re trying to get into grad school.

Fair, but that’s very rare. Most companies require a degree and then don’t even ask for proof of one.
I must have hit the bads one often,
Another company literally tore through my transcript and grilled me on why I had a terrible semester. Such dbags. I should’ve gone to party school.
Same with Google

Academia is such a fucking game.
Yeah I felt like I got wrecked with high debt and high stress for years. Meanwhile I got coworkes who said school was chill and literally on a beach.
I went to just one interview were someone cared about college and that’s only because they went there.
And most students today can’t even write an essay.
