Society and parents have embedded the belief that we should always aim to have good grades in us.
To a certain extent, it's true. But NOT to have job opportunities and internships. More and more companies (like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Hilton, PwC) are removing constraints around grades and degree requirements.
What does that mean for you STUDENTS? It means you have to find something else to differentiate yourself. You need SKILLS.
Your GPA is low? Are you depressed because of your GPA? Are you always calculating your GPA? Please Stop.
Focus on acquiring skills through your College years, for more and more opportunities!
