what do you guys do if they ask what you GPA was?
I always tell them my GPA. Then say; “I graduated college when a “C” was a “C”.” Today it seems like everybody is an honor student.

Yes but the way grades are justified today is by claiming that the "old" way of grading was unfair.

So who are you to argue with political correctness?

Therefore you must adjust your "C" to fit the new paradigm, and give yourself an "A" average.

After all, isn't it true that you tried as hard as you could, given your socioeconomic status, the color of your skin, the race of your ancestors, exposure to secondhand smoke, an in reference to certain advanced intrpretations of the scale of functional autism?

Well then.

A.

Employers want to know how you will exchange the values of two variables without using a temporary variable. They want to know if you can explain big O notation of different sorting algorithms. They want to know if you've ever heard of design patterns. They're not so much interested in GPAs. </bias>
