Business

Today at the "Hire-A-Bear Career Fair", a recruiter asked me for my GPA.

It's impressive to me that the Human Resource Personnel of, in this case, a "Big Four" company would take a moment to scan my resume, and make that her first question.

It encourages me to further invest in the classes that I "don't think I'll ever use/need", because whether I may ever need the material or not, I'll need the course to reflect well for my Grade Point Average. If I can verify no further use, so be it, but at least this minimum will be helpful to remember as the caffeine flows and the keyboard clicks from my hunched work station in my room.

Lesson of the day?
Even if I don't think I'll ever need that "Introspective Art" course to analyze the average time elapsed before reception on accounts receivables working with an accounting firm, I will need the grade from it to help open the window to ever catch the interview that could land me the employment at that same firm. Classes are a mean to an end, and though on the hike up the mountain the backpack may chafe, I'll be greatly appreciative of the contribution of it's contents once I'm top and surveying the view.
