Being a college student, I'm always reading blogs and websites about college, success in entrepreneurship and self-improvement!
So today I stumbled upon this article that talks about grades and success:
Your College is Not a Technical School | I Will Teach You To Be Rich
A very interesting article, and even more interesting comments from SlowLane people claiming that a person with 4.0 GPA is likely to be more successful at a job than a person with a 3.0, and also there's a comment from a self-proclaimed successful entrepreneur who prefers to hire people with a higher GPA.
I know this may sound very SLOWLANE, but I think this could turn into a very interesting discussion and I'd really like to hear comments from FastLaners and also fellow college students!
