Why I regret getting straight A's in college (opens in new tab)

Regarding her points:

  1.  No one has ever asked about my GPA.

If college is your terminal degree and you know you will never apply for a higher degree, that might make sense.

  2.  I didn't sleep.

One would hope that not getting straight A's wouldn't induce sleep, but instead would free up time to do more fun/cool/enlightening things. You'd still be sleep deprived.

  3.  I've forgotten 95% of it. 

Not sure that college is designed to impart information.

  4.  I didn't have time for people. 
  5.  Work experience is more valuable. 

These two seem reasonable.

If you have to study 100 hrs a week and you're not going to MIT, you're doing something really wrong. And unless its a technical field, no one's going to care what your GPA is. There just isn't enough demand for English lit majors to need GPA as a differentiator.

To have the dedication to study 100 hours a week voluntarily for anything, really shows you picked the wrong major. With that sort of dedication you could excel at anything, even something you're not naturally gifted at.
