” I am more impressed with someone who had a 3.0 GPA who financed their education by working through college, than someone who lived on loans and got a 4.0.”
dfw! I’m kind of surprised you’d make such a blanket statement!
My lady friend’s daughter started college at 16, Chemistry and Biomechanical Engineering. Her college cost her nothing! She had scholarships and grants though, not loans. The only costs were to her Mom in taxes, as some of the grants carried some tax liabilities. She even got grants to cover cost of living! Companies targeted her for intense recruitment when she was a Sophomore! Graduated 1st in her class. Summa Cum Laude.
She’s a tremendously hard worker, and loves to learn. Total bookworm!
Would you hire a 3.0 student over her, just because she didn’t have to work to pay her way? Actually, she worked tremendously hard,,,, at learning!
Best,
Bogie

If I may, it seems dfwgator’s point was that the ability to intelligently [self-]finance (and motivate) outweighs the rating-number in real-life.
