Grades are everything. Believe me or not. Grades give you easy going through college by making you elegible for scholorship. When you are in college you will have an enternship and when you graduate you will have a job, all becuase of the gpa. Having a good gpa you have better standing on proving yourself that you do not have any sort of learning disability and you can learn things fast. People who say grades are not important often say that experience is important. However, how can one have expirence if he doesn't even get a job after his college. Grades are very very imp. If you just want to learn and be educated then you don't even need to go to university. You can spend time on a local library and read and learn on your own. We all go to universities to graduate , so we can find a job. What the point of going to school and graduate with low gpa with no option to go to grad school or find a job.
