"And for most jobs out there grades do matter"
Not even a little bit. What, you think a hiring manager is going to try to track down your college transcript?
Edit: here's now little grades matter as a developer: I have a GED and five college credits (two of which were archery) and I've been happily employed as a developer for the last six years.

Pretty much every job outside software, as well as every grad school application, will ask you to submit your college transcript.
- knieveltech 13y agoBy most you must be excluding the print media, pharma, and financial industries, all sectors I've worked in (as something other than a developer), no transcript.
- rayiner 13y agoThe financial industry, and consulting and accounting, all care very much about your college grades, for recent grads. Not many people with even mediocre GPAs in the analyst classes of Goldman Sachs or in among the entry level hires at BCG.
- adestefan 13y agoThey ask you for your college transcript to verify that you have the degree not to check all your grades.
