@Bionic-Badger, great advice. But If having a degree is the important part, why is it ones ability to learn, not what one has learned? It seems that if anything in college measures ones ability and competence, it would be their grades, not the fact that they have a degree.
Especially since many people who actually finished college are not competent. The correlation between the grades, competence, and jobs is not as it should be if incompetent people are getting jobs.
I think this could be due to recommendations, which is why I don't understand why they carry as much weight as they do. They can be a great tool to separate good employees from bad ones, but they are not reliable.
Also, whats the point in doing well in a class if that class doesn't pertain to your major? For example, Fiddy doesn't like Calculus, so why does he have to do well in the class if it doesn't matter to his degree?
If employers do not care how employees did in college, but only that they finished and have the degree, then why do well in any class besides the ones that teach you about your prospective job?
If grades and competence do have a positive correlation, why don't employers look more heavily into grades, rather than degrees? Sorry for the rather sporadic reply, and thanks for reading.

I'm currently studying chemistry and pre med in college. I have a 4.0 GPA so far!
In high school I was lazy. I had decent grades but good testing scores.
What are you planning on specializing in? Usually when I hear people state they're in "pre-med" without anything specific in mind I think the term is just being used as a better-sounding "undecided." After all, you can take practically anything for these pre-med/law/etc. tracks. There are exceptions of course, but that's been my experience with the people I've encountered.
Pre-med isn't a major, it's just additional prerequisites for medical school that goes along with a major. (I'm sure you already knew that though) My declared major is chemistry, which has been a passion of mine for a long time.
