I’ve been reading a lot that GPA is a big factor when It comes to hiring as a means of entry .

Probably a big factor if you are on the threshold of 2.9x versus 3.0x GPA (3.0 is a common GPA cut-off used by employers when screening resumes). But probably much less so if you are away from that threshold.

If chasing “easy A” courses were unethical, then many college students are acting unethically, and medical schools, law schools, and those engineering divisions that have a GPA-based weed-out process to enter an engineering major after frosh enrollment are encouraging such behavior.
