Google, which hires a lot of college grads, has decided that GPA's are worthless criteria for hiring, according to a New York Times columnist. A lot of other companies, and people like me, agree.  If you spend most of your college career worrying about your GPA and complaining to professors that you should have gotten a higher grade in their courses, stop it!  Instead, become a better problem solver and a better communicator. Work hard, but to learn, not to get an A.  Here's the link: GPA's are worthless
