Your GPA follows you forever

This isn't even close to being true. Hardly anyone lists their GPA on their resume after they have enough work experience. The work experience is more recent and much more relevant to any new position you might take than your college GPA. Basically, if you have a subpar GPA and have to take a first job that isn't what you would like, you need to kick ass at that job even more than normal.

this (the 2nd post) is basically true in the engineering world.

the GPA is all the counts when you are starting off fresh college. don't bother applying if you are below a 3.0. as you build up your exp. in the field, that is what will count on your resume later in life.

to deny a 40 year old job who's been in the business for 20+ years just because he didn't fare too well in college is foolish.
