[quote=UCGal] Heck my company does background checks and checks GPAs and verifies degrees issued – and has for more than a decade… so screwing up your first year of college CAN follow you for a long time.

How long? Verify degrees, but checking a GPA after someone has been in the work force awhile is a pointless, irrelevant exercise. What have they done with the degree is the relevant question.

I had good grades in college but there’s no mention of my GPA on my resume. Grades don’t mean a thing after years of experience. Anyone checking them on an experienced professional has too much time and too little common sense.
