I don't know a whole lot of jobs that are caring about GPA anymore anyways. The only person of anyone I know that has actually had to have a GPA of a certain point was a friend who went to work for one of the top accounting firms in the country. They required it and he got his job like 8 months before he actually started it after interning for free and then doing like 5 interviews, ridiculous.

A lot of business related professions seem to still really care. Especially business programs within college. I feel like internships are just as important but also a ton of jobs come from networking and who you know and who knows you. So it is always good to know as many people as possible.

Also I know for a fact if you do the marketing/account side of advertising they do really care about GPA and stuff like that from talking to various people in the industry.

GPAs don't matter as much as experience and body of work unless your GPA is horrible, lol

I've never once even thought to ask about someone's GPA. Just tell me your school, thanks.

One big exception. You may also decide in the future that you want to go to Law school, do a Masters or, holy fuck, a PhD. Then you'll wish you'd focused more on GPA.

 

[shadowkat]

LOL

 

[Red_Man]

At least the Ice Caps look good.

I think it's time to make a big trade. Subban is playing his worst hockey of his career right now. We are hurting and the bleeding won't stop. It's now noticeable

Lol give me a break. They outplayed Boston, Carolina, and Washington by large margins, they're just going through a scoring dry spell which is to be expected throughout a season, and simultaneously getting their worst goaltending. Tonight was the first game in the past week they deserved to lose, panicking now would be stupid.

That's an amazing Tortorella gif, LOL

Yup. Should always do your best but don't stress too much for a 4.0. Unless you're in certain fields or staying in academia.

So what is game of the year?

 

[Quick]

Replaced my PS4 hard drive and thought I backed everything up to my PS+ cloud storage.

Nope.

Lost my Batman: Arkham Knight and Witcher 3 saves, along with some others that I can't think of. Fucking hell.

I don't necessarily mind starting over with The Witcher 3. But I finished Batman and was looking to do some of the side missions. I can't even bring myself to do that now. I'll probably just trade that in now.

On the plus side, I now have 2TB of PS4 storage vs. 500 GB.

Nooooooooooo you'll never be able to finish the Baron's quest now

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

All those digital downloads you'll get, you probably need a bigger space.

holy crap that stinks.

if it's any consolation batman has some pretty blatant padding. don't think many of those side missions are actually worth playing unless you want to go find watchtower #27 or whatever.

I would have lost my fucking mind if my MGSV save didn't get backed up.

I know someone that had a 2.85, smashed his GRE, got three letters of rec, and got into USC grad program.

Spoiler

I'm seriously think of trying to get my Master's. I have an alright 3.something gpa

Just do like I did and marry someone who did all that.

The Stamcock stays erect.

For some reason I thought Stamkos was older than 25. He'll be turning 26 in Feb, so if the Leafs get him as a UFA he'll be in his prime years. Now I don't mind if he comes, at first I was against it. I mistakenly thought he was 28-29.

In theory. In reality he's already passed it. He'll be lucky to hit 30 goals this year.

Says you.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Says you.

Says the only one here who actually watches him with any regularity. Anyone who thinks they're signing the guy who scored 60 goals is in for a rude awakening. He's not the same player he used to be. All aspects of his game have regressed since then. It's depressing to watch how bad he's been this year.

So he's not allowed to have a down year? Maybe he's tired of playing in Tampa?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Maybe it's because Jon Cooper is a terrible coach..?

 

[ZeroGravity]

Last year was already a down year for him. This is continuing the slide. He can still be an effective player, but he's no longer elite and he's not capable of carrying a team.

Nobody in the league scores 60 goals anymore. The last player to do it was Stamkos. Last year "the down year", he was 2nd in the league in goals. I'll take that.

Problem is that it's not all about goals. He's 53rd in league scoring. Every aspect of his game is trending downward.

There's a reason Yzerman isn't giving into his demands.

Sounds more like a change of scenery is necessary than anything else.

This is changing too, accounting firms really don't give a crap about GPAs too much, so long as you can qualify to get into the CPA program.

That's at least how it is with the big 4 firms, not sure about smaller ones. I don't think any of the top firms do unpaid internships though.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Haha. I get the feeling this will get a lot of usage of going forward.

Damn. Maybe we can just sit Hank out there with a gas mask under his goalie mask. Just him. The way we've been relying on him we might still win. And risk no one!

The ice will be infected and it'll all spread.

Isn't Bryan Murray stepping down anyway after this season or something?

 

[Line_HTX]

Like, is the whole team infected or a few players?

Shit reminds me of one 40 yr old Matt Hasselbeck and that fucker won on that Thursday night almost on his deathbed. Fuck him.

Yes. Because of Stamkos' master plan to get to UFA and sign with the Leafs and then rebecome the elite he never weren't.

 

[zroid]

Oof. I had no idea it's gotten this bad.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Oof. I had no idea it's gotten this bad.

Ewwie
