Default Any "C " students get hired?

Has DAL run out of A and B students yet and hiring C students yet? I wasn't a slacker, just had tough circumstances during college.

I had a 2.7 GPA... hired 9.5 years ago. Also graduated college on time with 1500 hours, though.

Such a dumb metric. It would only make sense if all colleges and universities were one uniform standard of how tough they were. Sorry, but an engineering 2.5 GPA from a tough university is worth far more than a 3.9 from a local community college in basketweaving. But apparently some people don't get that, and it's really unfortunate when they end up on HR/hiring recruitment side.

Except they do get that.......hence why you still see people with low gpas hired....not to mention they care about a lot more than your gpa.....but yeah you are right
