C's get degrees. My daughter wanted to go to college since a young age. She would beat herself up when she did not do good. Her classes were hard and at one point she wanted to switch from a business major to journalism because of the math classes. I told her most everybody in journalism is a loser, because they couldn't pass the math classes for business.

She found a tutor made it through and graduated in four years. On interviews no one asks her what her grades were in college just that she has that piece of paper.

Your daughter sounds like a go-getter. I had a similar experience in the job market. No one cared what my GPA was, just that I had a diploma. And a good thing too - my undergraduate GPA was poor at best.
