@aarondinin: When I was running companies, I intentionally avoided straight A students. And it wasn’t because they were “bad” or secretly dumb or anything like that. It was simply because I understood that, in my size and type of company, the skills that make someone a straight A student were the same skills that were going to cause them to struggle doing what my company needed. #college #collegeadvice #professor #teacher #careeradvice
How does your job, know your grades- unless you tell them?

a straight a student hasn't failed. I dont want to teach an employee how to fail.

That’s not true. A students can adapt and predict. That’s what a lot of courses are: messy.

Right but tell that to colleges. If you dont have the best grades, your chances of getting accepted and earning merit scholarships are diminished. 🤷🏼♀️

If getting straight A’s can only account for being able to follow instructions, I would argue the tests aren’t hard enough or the boundaries are too low. To get a 90+ on a test should symbolise out of the box thinking and talent beyond what’s being explicitly taught, which in my eyes should be exactly what companies are looking for

Who said those who get perfect grades can't adapt
And who said those who get fair grades are good at adapting
This is such a terrible inference

what I would say the bigger thing to understand is that companies may take a look at somebody who's from a very competitive program with a very high average and say that they will get bored with the position they have open too quickly to be worth training...

Sometimes it also means people who are so smart they’ve never had to struggle and they collapse when they run into something they can’t easily pickup. They struggle with failure and the need to be resilient in the face of difficulty. If you’ve never had to work hard at something and not have it turn out the way you hoped do yourself a favor and get out of your comfort zone. Don’t wait to experience failure when the consequences are at their highest.
