| Education and learning is temporary? Almost always, education came into play when I need to make important decisions or judgments. Even for the most trivial of things, education can play an important role.
GPA stays with you too, but unlike education, it is an artificial construct. It is a mere number that does not mean anything outside of context. People actually have to care about the number for it to have any effect on you. This is why the top colleges do holistic admissions these days. It may have an effect, but in the big picture, it is quite little.
Just like how SAT/ACT scores become absolutely insignificant after a couple years in college, GPA will become insignificant after a couple years of real work experience. |
