Not to burst your bubble, it seems that you are relying on corporate loyalty to help you maintain that nice cushioned job, but companies will hand out their most loyal employees a pink slip..even after many years of service. There's no such thing as job security. Don't brush off the search for college grads as "corporate policy". Employers are pushing their standards higher than ever before. It's a fact that college grads are more multi tasked and are better at handling stress. It's true that many companies don't look at grades, but those that do want to see how focused, thorough and devoted a future employee can be with their work. They also want to see what your strength and weaknesses and how they will apply to the workplace. Your job may be specialized so it doesn't really matter if you graduate Harvard summa cum laude. Whatever the case good luck with your future endeavors and keep your grades up. It doesn't hurt if you do. Plus you're paying hefty money for those golden letters. -iliana
