<p>@Enginox: I think the OP was referring to how he worked for 15yrs as a student, not as an employee of a company, which he apparently can’t seem to obtain. </p>
<p>Totally feel for ya! I had a 3.8 HS GPA and 24 ACT and although it hasn’t brought me down, per se, it hasn’t really helped me either. Unless you are perfect in anything, you basically have no chance for scholarships/internships that are worthwhile. I’m a Freshman majoring in computer science and math (and now possibly considering Information Systems too! <em>_</em> lol) and I fully intend to get a 4.0 straight through. I don’t care who I have to kill, blackmail or sleep with to get what I want, because I am sure as @$)*! not compromising again. Not very easy when you are working 20hrs/week (40+ in December- work for USPS) while taking 15 credit hours. Well, I had better stop complaining and start working, eh!?</p>
