Sometimes.
I graduated with a 2.8 and an Art degree from a state school (albeit a good one). I thought most of my assignments were bullshit and didn't do some of them - who wants to design another fucking brochure for a fake client. I spent my senior year learning how to program and launching an app (Red Cup on the App Store for those interested).
Not doing the schoolwork and instead focusing on actual career development got me a job when I graduated. I've never put my GPA on my résumé, and I never will. It doesn't matter for the things I want to do in life.
- chii 13y agoso basically you have confirmation that the degree was useless (in the sense that you didn't use the stuff learnt ibn the degree in your professinoal life). Therefore, your GPA in that degree is meaningless. Imagine you didn't do this, but instead got a job that did utilise the degree…would your gpa matter then?
- bennyg 13y agoYou act like I don't use my Art degree. Not only did I program my apps, I designed them too. I think a lot of the work was useless and antiquated, and didn't prepare any of my classmates and I for a life in the age where software is everywhere. I noticed that every one of them would have the same degree as I, and with a better GPA, so I learned a new skill as well. I use Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop just as much as I use Xcode in my professional life - and that's quite a bit.
