Does anyone else find it hard to care about school after landing an internship?
I feel like my grades don't really matter any more since I already landed an internship. Makes it impossible to focus on studying.
YES
I'm definitely in the same boat. I keep telling myself that I need to focus a little bit to keep grades up for grad school down the line.
Exact same here too haha
Same too lol. How much will our grades matter for FT recruiting/B-school?
For FT recruiting, how much does our GPA matter as compared to the internship we did in the summer?
Grades will matter for B-school.
really dude? keep in mind you're still a student and you dont have a full time job/diploma
Well, I'm certainly not at risk of losing my diploma. By not caring, I mean maybe I'll get mostly B's instead of mostly A's.
But yes, I realize I don't have a full time offer. Still doesn't help in motivating me. I figure even if my GPA dropped a tenth of a point that the internship experience would more than make up for it.
what internship did you get? what school do you go to?
Top BB for equity research from an SEC school
I had a couple of weeks of being care free after signing my SA offer. Then exams rolled around and I fell back into my old habits.
We will see what happens when I have a FT job lined up.
You don't have even have a fucking full-time offer yet? You have got to be kidding me.
I didn't say it was smart.
I've felt the same way since my late sophomore year.
I'm much more dedicated to my internship/s than my schoolwork. I don't find my classes nearly as interesting as the work I'm doing.
People say you have no worries in college, but I think that's BS; I've been stressed and strung out ever since balancing school + 2 internships.
PS - My GPA is decent.
my gpa has dropped since I started swing trading but I get bored in school now especially when Ive gotten so good to the point where I can time my money increase in swing trading and yes using skills i learned in college and hs charting stock performance but I swing trade buy crown royal weed and prostitutes then when I go to school and use the same formulas I get good grades thats it. I know how you feel the closer you get to graduation the closer you get to real money unending legal vicodin and upscale "call girls" unless you have a g/f then a low apr mortgage a sound marraige family vacations etc etc etc either way a taste of the real world makes a person ask why do I have to still be in college. That internship transitions into a paying job only if we have a degree Mr. two hands and a thumb. So stick with finishing what you have begun it even if it is boring.
Yes. Very.
I think for any internship or full-time offer you start to not give a single fuck, especially if its a FT offer.
hey dont encourage Mr. new two hands and a thumb to jump at any full time position without a Bachelors at least. If you drop out you wont stand a chance at an y other firm ceptin the one that hires you and gets you to drop out of college in the first place. Stay the course
