It seems to me that a person's GPA in most cases correlates to a person's understanding of a knowledge. But a good gpa could be misleading because someone could understand how to use the system to get a high gpa but then could not understand how to apply their acquired knowledge to the real world. Ultimatly that is why we go to college, to have skills that others don't have and to apply them to the living, breathing real world. A person who has a high GPA but no knowledge might happen to get hired by a big company, but that person wouldn't survive in the real world.
a high gpa could represent success or it could represent the ability to trick the system; you have to use what you have learned in the real world which has no solutions manual. A person could have poor grades but could still have the knowledge to help the real world (ahem...Einstein...). |
