> Grades still matter for the vast majority of people who aren’t born into mega rich families. Not really, while its generally better to have a qualification than no qualification 48% of people with a degree are in a job that don't require it. Qualifications don't matter if everyone has them, this is because employers care about the skills some one has not the lectures they sat through. Skills are difficult to develop lectures are easy to sit through. If every one has those qualifications supply/demand kills the need for those jobs. If you sacrifice building up skills to chase grades you have a near 50/50 chance of ending up working behind a till with €50k in debt, not a good position to be in if you are not mega rich.
