It did matter for GE. Jerks wanted 3.8 or higher to consider you. They did interviews as a formality. Didn't matter if you went to community or ivy league. Never felt so annoyed at my life choices. Hindsight glad I didn't get the job.

Of course my current company, my coworkers went to a local cheap party school. Like wtf was the struggle for?

Fair, but that's very rare. Most companies require a degree and then don't even ask for proof of one.

I must have hit the bads one often,

Another company literally tore through my transcript and grilled me on why I had a terrible semester. Such dbags. I should've gone to party school.

The struggle is for nothing? If you went to a school with grade deflation to 'maintain the integrity of education'? Get fucked, party schools will pass kids or allow kids to grade grub to a higher GPA.

Academia is such a fucking game.

Yeah I felt like I got wrecked with high debt and high stress for years. Meanwhile I got coworkes who said school was chill and literally on a beach.

I went to just one interview were someone cared about college and that's only because they went there.
