5 years down the road nobody will care what my GPA is or what school I graduated from.

Sorry, this is not true in any world.

Are you kidding? From 5 years after graduation to the present? I doubt if I've been asked three times in that span where I attended college by the world at large, much less by prospective employers or headhunters. (Which is still more than I've been asked about my undergraduate GPA in that span, by a factor of infinity in fact.)

Once you've been out in the workforce 5+ years, only two things matter to the vast majority of companies:
(1) Do you have whatever specialized skillset(s) your prospective employer requires?
(2) Does the job require an advanced degree and/or previous experience in the field and, if so, do you have it?

That's about it.
