Actually, you need to maintain at least a C average to remain enrolled, so you can't get all D's, and you need C's or better in your major. And if you want to go to grad or professional school, you need a much better GPA. Also, many employers DO ask for your GPA and determine whether or not you'll get a job based on that, especially in the technical fields where your classes directly pertain to your job.
But if you're just trying to get that manager job at the mall or become a prison guard, go ahead and waste all that money you spent on lousy grades.What is the point of getting good grades in college? I mean, the term ';Ds get degrees'; is really true?
eri's reasoning is flawed, in most majors, even if you get good grades, you still won't be able to land a job. that's why the country's educational system is poor, go to school in taiwan instead

Because in reality, the thing you get from college that allows you to get hired is not the degree. The degree just just is there to tell everyone else that you have four more years of education. If you get D's you probably aren't learning the material. Thusly, you will get hired just as likely as someone who got strait A's, but promotions aren't based on degrees, they're based on personal merit and-having learned nothing from college-you won't have that.
Here in lies the difference:
D's get the degrees...but not jobs. OR they get jobs, but then get fired when their employers realize they have no idea what they're doing.
So they scraped by on the bare minimum during college and passed, no problem. But in the workforce, you have to know what you're doing. And are they going to? Probably not. The kids who got As and studied the coursework will know what they're doing, and they'll get the job. They'll keep it too.
D's may get degrees, but D's don't get into graduate school.
