Since I am a part-time university lecturer, I get this question all the time from my students. This is what I tell them. When I have had to hire college students I didn't care about their grade point average. I want to see a steady progression of responsibility in a part-time job, work study or volunteer activity. I also want to see if they have any retail experience. That way, I know they have had to balance work with study and know the importance of managing a customer's expectations. These things are more important to employers than any GPA....
