3.8 and a hungover 31. Just missed some sweet academic scholarship opportunities. Made the most of my KSU education and US Navy training. Little luck in a good career fit and some great mentors along the way. Kicking ass these days.
I don't think grades and such matter much once you build your skill set. I've never had college GPA on a résumé let alone high school.
Luck and work ethic tends to play big down the road.
