28k on Monday?

[wiseman3]

As a recent college graduate, I can say that not one of the interviews I had on my job search asked about or cared about my grades in college. Literally no one cares if you got a 4.0. Having a social life and being able to actually interact with people is much more important. Go to the game!

Two hours. What could it hurt?

Real studying doesn’t begin until midnight the night before. Any earlier and you’re trying way too hard.

Right?

That being said, as parent, I get where bees is coming from.

As someone who hires people the last thing I look at is grades.

My son has 2 midterms on Tuesday. I might kick his ass if he’s at the game.

Cmon, perhaps he’s been preparing for these exams for weeks and knows it all like the back of his hand!

He deserves a 2 hour break.

Yeah but if he doesn’t attend the game hasn’t he failed the only test that matters?

then you should definitely hire me.

Agree. Cramming the night before doesn’t help much either. He should have done most of his prep long before this game.

Imagine if they sold $5 long range tickets for a game like Monday’s. Would easily top 30K and make up the money in concessions in a second. (Walk up sales only to prevent resales)

 

[RaleighSUfan]

Absolutely should not. We should not do anything that seems like we’re encouraging him to leave.

I respectfully disagree. I'd almost guarantee he's already made his decision to go. If he's been upfront about his plans with the coaching staff, then I believe they should formally recognize his contributions to the program. It's not like he's a freshman... he's a junior who's given his heart and soul to the program and as far as I know, he's been a great teammate. I don't believe recognizing him is going to sway his decision one way or another.

Says you. I made a career of cramming the night before.

It’ll be more than 2. And it’s his last semester...take no chances. And it’s his bday tomorrow and has a few friends from other colleges ataying the weekend. So.....plus he has to work 1/2 the day Monday and Tuesday. Lol. Busy boy.

As someone who hired about 100 people over my career including probably 15-20 new grads, I can say the first thing I looked at on the resume was the GPA. Helped me determine which ones I was going to interview. So you’re right during the interview I never talked about grades really.

True. Back when they sold 18 and under youth tickets for $5, I went to basically every big game until I was...25 or so. Sometimes had legit tickets, but if not, buying a cheap youth ticket in the nosebleeds and then sitting right next to the student section in the seats they don’t sell was always an option. I’d buy a long range view seat for $5 and do the same these days if it was an option.

Likely, your grades got you in the door.

Yep

If anything is possible - is the impossible possible?...


Possibly

Billy Owens is the only junior i can think of who there was pretty much no doubt he was gone and I don't remember back then if we recognized him or not - and as far as underclassmen in general, I think we can all agree it was pretty obvious Carmelo was gone after his freshman year.

I doubt Owens was on pace to graduate that semester.

If Battle has told the staff that he's gone and he's on pace to earn his degree this semester, then he should absolutely be recognized on Monday night.

Just a random question since I’m currently looking for a new job, when they ask for G.P.As do they actually check those or can I say mine is a bit higher than it actually is?

I’ve never asked for grades. I know some people put it on resumes and HR does ask for your diploma, but there’s usually a specific skill set I’m looking for depending on the position and sometimes we ask for examples of work you’ve previously completed at other jobs.

But don’t lie on a resume.

Lying on the resume not really a spectacular idea.

This just extended my buzz.

Haha

Ur welcome!

 

[upperdeck]

has college changed that much that extended study time for mid-terms is required now? I never got the point of study week some schools have before finals either?
