Graduate with Bad Grades or Repeat a Year?

Posted by Cliff on from the student-dilemmas dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I'm a CS Student within one year of graduation. Due to financial reasons, I've been working on a full time basis for the past 2 years, and I've worked on an open source project. This has brought me from the B's and A's of my first two years of college to somewhere in the mists of C's and lower. I now have enough money to sustain myself for two years of schooling. I've got two choices: repeat one year, repair all my bad grades and graduate with better grades but with a mark that I repeated one school year; or graduate with lower grades but with no repeated year. I'd like to know the opinion of recruiters out there: if you had two candidates which ranked similarly during the interviews, would you choose someone who repeated classes for higher grades?"

    It's, "... somewhere in the midst of Cs," not, "... somewhere in the mists of Cs,"
    Bullshit, shut the fuck up.

    Instead try taking yourself out of the gene pool by slitting your fucking wrists fucktard. Then employers will have one less whiny little fucktard to put up with when they do their inteviews.

    "mists" - what the fuck? You're a stupid shit. The word is "midst" you moron. That kind of error tells me that you don't read, ever. It's a typical error made by someone who is only accustomed to the spoken word. Therefore, you are swine. Since you don't read books and you're a fucking average piece of garage, my advice to you is to go fucking kill yourself.


    Haha
    You're the garbage, jackass.

    You can't tell the difference between a fucking typo and a mistake that clearly shows you are a mouth-breathing asshole that avoids reading?

    [That was rhetorical, fuckstain.]

    You're no better than him. Do the world a favor and kill yourself as well.
