boys, words of advice if I may: Grades don't mean shit in the real world, regardless of what you are told. There are two kinds of "smarts" in life. Street smarts and book smarts. The most succesful people are the ones who have balanced both types of smarts.

I remember when I was in University (for a total of 7 years of hell), some students had a 4.0 average. Among those, most where geeks with absolutly no social skills because they spent most of their lives in a library. Think they will be good employees? Good with working in teams? Good at grasping office politics concepts? Good at creating and maintaining work relationships with fellow employees? Good at influencing people and obtaining informal leadership powers? Well.. Not generally, because all of these qualities are aquired through street smarts. Take the book out of their faces and they become confused and fragile.

Among the 4.0 average group, there was also the dumbest people I have ever met in my whole life, often reffered to as the jocks (Of course, not ALL jocks are like this). They spent all their time cheating on exams, getting other people to do assignements for them, ect. They are the opposite of the above group. They had ONLY street smarts and that when they start working in a real job, their stupidity will be revealed. It's unavoidable. I remember a guy who graduated from a university degree, and never once used a computer because he didn't want to learn how to type. He got other people to do the work for him. I feel sorry for people like that. And when you end up working in a team with someone like that, well... you do his work because if you don't, you know it won't get done and you will suffer the consequences as well in the end.

Of course, I'm not saying the lower the grades, the better your future will be. I'm just saying it's pointless to brag about grades because they are not an adequate measure of your capacities. I HATE IT when people use grades to mesure themselves or others. All it really does is prove how ignorant they really are. (nothing personal, just had to get it out of my system).

I'll say this and my intentions are not to brag: I'm 25. My GF is 25. I invested 7 years in my education. She did 8 years. We own a new house, an expensive vehicle and our family income is quadruple the average national familly income. We are not the 4.0 GPA kind of people. So give me a fucking break.

Well said, Judge.

Gah, schools think they educate?

What i hate is when these "jocks" get fired...more than once...and end up becoming a drain on our economy.

Actually, colleges care more about your worth ethics and extra activities such as sports, music, etc...

If a kid made straight A's but did no activities, he would get it handed to him by the kid who made B's and C's but was a varsity football player and a proffesional thespian.

Haha....yeah....it does!  Unless we were playing Counter-Strike, then that Intel chip would melt from the spanking it received from the AMD processor!

AMD-->  <-- Intel

:shock:  :lol:

But here in the next few months, it's going to be time to upgrade the system....... motherboard, CPU, memory and video card.  My wish is to buy the new NVidia FX card........no what's cooler than a video card needing it's own power feed from the power supply as well as taking up two slots in your case?!?!?  Oh yeah!!!   :wink:
