"No evidence" success at university correlates with achievement in later life."

Ernst & Young, one of the UK's biggest graduate recruiters, has announced it will be removing the degree classification from its entry criteria, saying there is "no evidence" success at university correlates with achievement in later life.

Thought this was pretty interesting, considering all the 3.0 GPA's, no exp, non-target I broke into HF/PE/IB threads coming up as of recent.

It's about time employers are realizing that the way the system is currently set up, with a heavy emphasis on "making the grade" is idiotic due to lowered standards, rampant cheating, performance enhancing drugs, and other factors. Achieving "the pinnacle of success at a university" (i.e. 3.7+ GPA) means absolutely nothing in the real world.
