Quality Education vs. Good Grades The truth of education is that your future is more strongly impacted by the quality of your education than it is the grades you get and the initial post-collegiate job they lead to. Over the course of a person’s professional career, they will change actual careers an average of 3 times and have at least 7 different jobs. The ability to change and shift between careers depends more on the broad base of skills gained in school and in previous work than on the grades and first job a person received. While it is certainly true that good grades and a good solid job earned through those grades can have a positive impact upon a person – depending upon where those grades came from (what school), and in what field, the future of the person is not clear. What benefits a person, in the long run, is a broad, quality education that prepares them for the variety and changes in life that are bound to come, rather than pigeon-holeing themselves into a single career path with potentially limited opportunity for future change.
