I've never been a real school snob. I get that it matters for certain things like with I-Banks but everyone has different circumstances and school is also what you make of it. I guess going through life, I saw a lot of people go back to school to earn an undergrad degree and I've watched employees work and go to places like VCU in Richmond and get degrees and I just got an appreciation for effort and accomplishment.

I agree for sure. It is better to get a 4.0 at FIU than get a 2.5 at UM.

Is it really? How many times have you had to provide your GPA?

US News ranks UM at 53, FIU is 187.

Also, even if they don't request it. When someone applies with no GPA on the resume most people assume it is sub 3.0. So if they see
UM grad on one resume and 4.0 FIU gpa. The FIU grad is going to have the advantage.

Of course UM is a better school. That said, assuming an equivalent major, I can assure you that the 4.0 at FIU will have an easier time getting into law schools than the 2.5 at UM, fwiw.

Well yeah, but a 4.0 at FIU would be better in terms of law school apps than a 2.5 at Harvard
 
To get in any grad school a higher GPA is important. But for employability at a the bachelor level where the majority exists, I dont see people including their GPA unless they have little experience.

Once you're working, all anyone is going to see is the school.

Yeah... No one cared about grades after I got work experience. In my area it was only an issue when I was fresh out of law school. I don't know how it works on Wall Street or for doctors.

At some point, I would imagine in just about any profession, if you can make them money and stay out of trouble, that's what matters.

In the mid 70’s when I got into the workforce, you could start at a good company entry level and work your way up with no college degree. I can attest to it. Times changed rapidly with the advent of the computer age. Without that sheepskin, I was getting left behind. Went back to school and got an AAS @ 33 years old, BS @ 37 and Grad degree @ 40 all while working at least 50 hours a week. All that to say, no matter where your degree/s are from, that education pays lifelong dividends in many ways.

Once your working your school doesn't matter. This is all for your first or first few jobs. The majority of good entry level positions require transcripts. Applying with no GPA on your resume is also going to count against you. Getting a 4.0 at a lower tier school is always going to beat out a 2.5 at a higher tier school unless we go to the extreme and are talking about Harvard vs the University of Phoenix.

Technically Luke is an assistant high school coach so he was probably there sucking off Willie.
