| Anyone can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that _barely_ stands. |

| Actually I had some good luck with hiring people that have the minimum marks and huge amount of outside adjacent skills. One example is someone who was running a manufacturing operation on second shift and completing an engineering degree at the same time. |

| Not specifically the same but there's an adage, "C's get degrees". (I guess it's about how even if you got C's, you're still good enough to have a sheet of paper that even your class topper had?) |

| ▲ | toast0 a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I always went with C is for cookie and that's good enough for me. Along with D for diploma. But note, some schools require a C in prereqs to take further courses. And some schools may put you on academic probation/kick you out if your GPA falls below a C. So D for diploma is a sometimes grade. | | | |

| It's that old joke: "What do you call a student who passed their medical exam with the lowest grade in their year?" "A doctor" |
