Reminder that if you aren't achieving the highest possible grades in your program of study, then it's time to consider a different career path.

I work at a large aerospace company and occasionally get to review engineering candidates.
If you have a 4.0 and no clubs/sports/volunteer work, your resume goes in the garbage. Sociability and team performance is much more important than getting straight As.

The pure interest cohort tend to strongly overlap with the grademonger cohort though there is a notable differentiation at the right tail where gpa maxing/class attendance ceases to meaningfully correlate with the highest achieving theoretical work and intuition for the field.

So all companies only hire the best, except for the ones that don't. Those can be discredited for some reason?

Not to sound condescending, but can you back up your claims with evidence or experience? In my experience, good social skills is on par with good knowledge of the discipline, this is because nearly every job out there is a team effort (especially in engineering) and being able to mesh well with others is very essential.

Someone who gets it. Wasting time on useless social fluff just to check boxes toward being an over-socialized wagie is a game of fools when the time is better spent on study. University is not vocational school, and there is nothing wrong with pure academics not directed toward easy employment.

I used to believe this during my first couple of years in undergrad and it was very discouraging.

Like >>10293789 said, you're probably just an undergrad student who is down on their luck and trying to project. Anyone in the real world, especially employers, can assure you that hiring a smart autist is a bad idea 90% of the time because they make everyone around them extremely uncomfortable. Most high-level jobs require social interaction and teamwork like >>10293920 said. People with terrible social skills, no matter how smart they are, cause discord within the social fabric.

Hope I can do better

[El Arcón No.10295901]

I cheated a little bit, and it was mostly as a senior student when I was going to jiu jitsu instead of studying. In graduate school, after I got the prestigious fellowship I had been pursuing as an aspiring grad student, I did not focus on academic excellence knowing ahead of time that I would either be a great physicist or I would go do something else with my PhD. I had have a big discovery, and that career should have been a shoe in but instead I find myself in some nightmarish hellscape of mathematical non-reality, name that my solution to dark energy was not immediately widely accepted. Because the solution is so obvious, namely that a downhill energy condition in time can be normalized to replicate the dark energy spectrum as a Doppler-like effect of Lorenz invariance across spacetime, I thought I would forego the usual resistance to new ideas but I am shocked by the strangely high level of resistance I have encountered. It is like a nightmare: where has math and science gone? I have had several more, independent huge discoveries in the last 10 years and I have encountered strange resistance each time.

In some countries Universities its statistically improbable to get straight As. Tests and other methods of evaluation are also not standardised.

[Anonymous No.10296070]

if you're getting all As, you're not being challenged in your coursework and need to be taking more advanced classes in order to actually learn efficiently.

Wow, now you are a butthurt.

Knowledge is a very complex concept in terms of epistemology. It comes in various different kinds and use.

The fact that you believe that such a primitive evaluation system as schoolgrades is so absolute just demonstrate how much you are retarded.

A+ seeking is just stupid narcissism and hypocrisy.

Anywhere from 3.7-3.9 is god tier, 4.0 you'll look obsessive compulsive especially if you participated in little to no extracurricular activities. 3.0-3.6 is competitive in the private sector, lower than 3.0 you should consider a different line of work.
