Undergrad GPA and Future Earnings

There are a lot of data points on undergrad college and placements/compensation but GPA is a hard metric to extrapolate from since there is very limited info on it. I wanted to see if there is any correlation with undergrad GPA and future potential earnings. So let’s see if GPA is an indicator of short term earnings, long term earnings, both, or neither. This a pretty flawed method but better than most of the articles I looked into.

Feel free to post below:
