You will eventually be correctly placed in the appropriate piece of the universe regardless of your grades.
I am a really smart guy but I just fucked up in microeconomics class and I really feel like **** after keeping my grades up all year. So my question is do grades in college really matter after you graduate ?Originally Posted by Saved1008
Generally, yes. It will give you a lot better opportunities for internships and permanent jobs. There are countless opportunities I missed out on because my grades didn't meet the GPA minimum. However, a few fortunate breaks and working hard once in the door, negates such things.

I want to start a marketing & management firmOriginally Posted by Saved1008
If you're going to start your own firm directly out of college, then they won't matter at all. Well, I suppose they could matter if you decide not to hire yourself because your GPA is too low, but I wouldn't recommend that.
On the other hand, as other posters have mentioned, if you plan to work for another firm for a while before starting your own, grades will matter. If your grades are good overall, I wouldn't worry too much about one bad mark, but I wouldn't let it become a trend. One bad class isn't going to kill your GPA unless you're right at the cutoff (e.g. the job you want requires a 3.0 and this grade would move you from a 3.0 to a 2.99).

Grades are overrated. Dedication and will is more important then grades.

I never liked working for grades and as a result, have "hit for the cycle": I have earned every possible grade on my transcript (with +/- also), from F to A, including a W (withdrew). I consider this to be an accomplishment (an honest D+ is not easy to get); my academic advisor is less than impressed.
But I wouldn't advise this course of action if you want to ever go to grad school or are trying to get into banking, consulting, or any other high-profile post-college occupation. I just happened to get lucky.
