Newslfash To Everybody Stressing About Finals…Grades Don’t Matter
This is becoming another annual tradition blog here at Barstool Sports. All fucking week my facebook feed has been has been blowing up with kids stressing out about Finals and how much they have to study and shit. Well I want to give all my college stoolies some advice. Chill the fuck out. Finals and grades in college are the biggest scam going. Employers don’t ask for your report card. They don’t even check if you graduated. You’re getting all stressed out on something that literally doesn’t matter. Now maybe it’s different for Ivy League kids trying to get finance jobs and shit, but I’m talking about everybody else. I don’t care if you go to Dean College, Salem State, Bryant, Umass or what. Just walk into a job interview and say you went to Stanford or some shit and nobody is gonna be any wiser. Or just say you got straight A’s wherever you actually went to school. Or say you got D’s because you didn’t try. As somebody who hires college grads I can tell you 100% that I don’t care. I don’t judge candidates on report cards. That means nothing to me. I judge them on how they interview and the specific skills that they can bring to me not on how they did on stupid test that has nothing to do with anything. Grades mean dick. Just say you got a 3.8 on your resume to get you in the door for an interview, stop worrying about it and go fuck a chick and enjoy college while it lasts. That’s the best advice I can ever give anybody.
PS – If you really want to stress out about your future than worry about internships and what you do for summer jobs. That’s about a billion times more important than your report card. That’s the shit I care about and so does every future employer. Or be hot.
just fly through college under the radar, get drafted in the 6th round and become the greatest quarterback of all time
that or suck a mean dick
Didn’t you hire Cooley?
Yea, because your the fucking employer people go to school to impress. I’m sure there’s lots of competition for the “minimum wage assistant” position at barstool headquarters.
if i was a blind person i would also say that eyesight doesn’t mean dick in the real world
Grades are a scam. Kids are gonna do what gets them a good grade, which often has nothing to do with actually knowing it. Fuck finals, college is too short.
the real question is why do you have 18 year old friends on facebook? sandusky part 2?
grades mean absolutely nothing, unless you want to go to grad school (which is a huge waste of time)
As someone who also hires new grads I can confirm that grades and what school you go to don’t matter. In fact, chances are your previous job experience doesn’t matter either. And by “chances are” I mean “it definitely doesn’t”. In interviews I literally turn the resume over and don’t look at it once. People who insist on bringing every conversation back to their work/school experience are generally big toolsheds and no one likes to hire a toolshed.
I bet Neil still gets a report card from Barstool on the Elementary Grading scale: O-Outstanding S-Satisfactory and SW for Sucks Weiner. Neils has all SW’s.
grades don’t matter…if you’re going to be blogging for the rest of your life
@ahambone: Do you work for one of those douchey companies that say “Minimum of 1 Year’s Experience Required” on job postings for entry-level jobs?
Interestingly enough grades DO matter in high school so you can go to whatever college you want and then fuck said chicks and drink said beers and generally have a great time.
Can pretty much confirm that the kids with high grades got all the Goldman Sachs, UBS, JP Morgan type jobs out of college and are all rolling in money at this point. But if you want to blog about Bieber or work at some bullshit company making 50K when you’re 30 then don’t study bros
how about newsflash, stop bitching about finals. Schoolwork is easy compared to REAL work.
It’s fairly obvious you’re not hiring the best and brightest.
Unless of course you have a rich father/contacts that hook you up. Fuck those kids
GPA’s are important depending on the field your going into. Public Accounting Firms have minimum GPA requirements that they wont consider you if you don’t meet. As well as ‘good’ grad schools and law schools. Shitty GPAs you can still work ifor #1 Recruiting – all tards & meatheads usaullly go there #2 Meditech – fly around the country and teach people a computer program #3 Fund Accountant at State Street – don’t even need a college degree for that shit #4 Sales at a pyramid scheme such as the place in Braintree with that bitch that changes her name and posts on Craigslist everyday for “entry level marketing job” Andrea Anderson or some shit.
I don’t judge candidates on report cards……..However if you’re a Mexican Jew, we have an exciting opportunity in our t’shirt department
Ya know what they call the guy that graduates last in medical school?
Doctor…. College is first and foremost about socialization. Get out, have fun, learn to interact, and get to know people. Don’t spend time in the library, unless its to hit on that hot chick that doesn’t party…yet
“stress out about your future than worry about internships ”
THEN you retard, head back to the school bus
And THAT my friend is why you have a team full of fuck-ups who can’t write a grammatically correct blog to save their lives… Or get hired anywhere else for that matter
speaking of internships, you should give me one. i can write 10x better than you, and i’m a belieber. come on, what more can you possibly be looking for?
@Harry Johnson – “No experience required”
wouldn’t this be a semi-annual tradition?
First question I ask the people I am looking to hire is what book they are currently reading. If they can’t answer within 3 seconds, circular file. I don’t care if it’s a Patterson novel, or a sales book, if they can’t answer that I don’t want them.
I’ve never been in a meeting where someone asked me what grade I got in stats … The balding, meaty titted blogger is spot on here. Get some good work experience while in school and don’t be a douche bag.
@flat Is “Barstool” an acceptable answer?
where do I send my resume?
its funny you say that, yet medical schools love a guy with a 2.0 who got smashed every weekend off keystones and natties
The fact that you are Facebook friends with kids still in school is pathetic. Grow the fuck up
@ahambone: That’s good. It always made my blood boil when companies didn’t understand that you can’t get experience if no one gives you a chance.
On a related note: 90% of internships are a waste of time.
Fuck off Pres, I’m stuck writing a 10 page paper on human trafficking due tomorrow cause i’m a last minute Larry. I should have done it on Pedophiles and just plagiarized a bunch of your blogs.
I would imagine that someone who is going down the road of applying for an internship at Barstool is not too worried about grades either or what the association to Barstool means from a global perspective either.
Last time I checked you’re told to put your gpa on your resume unless it blows balls. But if you want to work for a hook nosed smut peddling tool in the fake world for the rest of your pathetic life, don’t worry about finals or grades.
What was Neils GPA?
I’ll knock the education system/promote cheating as much as the next guy but I find it funny that marbles had her masters and is now doing 10x better than you.
You know what happens when you don’t care about your applicant’s grades, Pres? You hire people who jam shit into your AC unit for no apparent reason and then lie about it to your face.
prez is actually on point for once. it’s true, nobody gives a shit about grades. in fact, you’ll find that most managers and presidents are fucking morons and had 1.8 GPA’s. just like politicians, they work the system, so intelligence gets lost and dipshits prevail. it’s the american way!
Grades absolutely do matter if you want to get into (a) finance, (b) law, or (c) medicine
First off, whoever said marbles makes more than Pres is a fucking moron. Pres makes more from 2 of his fucking foam parties than she makes in a year. Second, grades matter for about 5% of the jobs out there or if you want to go to grad school/law school/med school etc. Otherwise, Pres is completely on point here. Its about how you interview, if you have any related experience from prior jobs/internships, and who you know otherwise. The only thing the majority of employers care about is that you went and graduated from school. It shows that you set a goal for yourself and you accomplished it. Why would I as an employer give a flying fuck what you got in your creative writing class when I’m hiring for a position at my insurance company? All the thumbs down people in here clearly have no idea what they’re talking about or they’re still in school and either don’t know any better.or are bitter about the amount of money they are pissing away.
I like to fake being a jew to get jobs.
People who are on life support could work for barstool. People who work in the real world got good grades. Renee probably just blew her way through life and you most likely did the same you big nosed bastard
Saying you specifically don’t care about grades isn’t cooling any jets here.
Any good sociopath can overcome bad grades
@flat. Really? Your number one question is what book are you reading? Looks like your line of work takes itself too seriously. If you think reading books, just because, is an important hobby to have, you are probably a hard-nosed boss.
I rather read articles and newspapers instead. Books dont interest me.
[...] Barstool pointed out earlier today, finals and grades really don’t mean all that much to prospective employers. If you’re [...]
newslfash…
To get internships, you need to get grades. There are no jobs out there and the internship market is cut throat. We don’t hire engineering interns at my place with anything less than a 3.25. Most engineering firms are the same way. If you actually went to college to study something meaningful, like law, finance, engineering, or medicine, you might want to hit the books. I suppose if you got one of these bull shit sociology or psychology degrees and you’re going to get a bull shit job anyway, and you’re OK with 5 or 6 figure debt with nothing to show for it, than follow Davey’s advice, otherwise hit the books.
C’s get degrees
the pussification of american continues…..
prez… this might shock you but there is a big discrepancy between the hiring “standards” at barstool and those in the real world.
You hired neil and manzo…twice… ’nuff said.
you’re an idiot. 75% of the jobs that actually pay well in my field wont even look at your application unless you’ve got a 3.0 or above. and an official transcript to prove it.
Can you come to the career panel at Cornell next week? It would be great to have someone there to put the person from Goldman Sachs in his place! When he says we don’t hire anyone with less than a 3.5 from an Ivy, NESCAC,or UVA, it would be awesome to hear you say “no way man, you don’t have any idea about what you’re talking about. Take it from me kids, I’m an expert on this.”
