Seriously, i really don't know why many people think that having alot of As guarantees you a good job in the business world. I see many job interviewees getting rejected because their resumes kept on talking about their achievements in school and college rather than their job experience. Especially in Malaysia.

Why does this happen? Who taught us the fact that getting As makes you a better person than a person with a job experience?

No shit. There are top scorers in my school, that can't even f***ing open their mouth and interact with others decently. They keep mugging, and in the end, they're shit. So man, I agree with ya'

no shit, no one cares if u had 5 As.
look at me, i barely passed high school, and i'm quite successful. Haa!

Yes, the best result is not about the quantity but it result after doing them, in this case, getting A is not showing all your best, because it only refer to study feild, not your real job in future...

everyone, but then for fresh grads "A"'s do mean a lot.

5A better than 0A

company like intel will only look at ur result...others? result not so important.

for me, most of the good result ppl in uni are study freak and don't know how to communicate with ppl well, of course, there are few exception

Agree.

Also, when i was in my first semester @ KDU, i sat down with the smartest ex-secondary school students who got 4As and Above, and yet when it comes to college they are as dumb as shit. Compare to American & British college students who prepare themselves for college even before graduating high school, these students think that college is just like secondary school without the uniforms.

more A meanss how hardworking the person is.

I got 1590/1600 for my SAT, got to Harvard, met some cool smart ppl, dropped out and opened company with them, now I am richest man in the world...

woops that's billl gates, I think 1590/1600 is pretty much equivalent 5As


well seriously though..I think that if you don't follow up on your academic achievement with ppl's skills, it's quite useless..academic achievement is useful given that you have good people skills, not the other way around, IMO. ppl skills/experience come first, then supplement by your academic..

well, i think its a bonus if you get more A's in your studies. Take me as an example. I got 14A's and after collage, I being hired as a SGM in one of the big company in Malaysia. wahahaha........ TS loser

What about experience? Since i currently work for a PR consultancy and a magazine despite having only 2As, i think experience matters more.

good in academics + good communication skills = very succesful in life.

got exp also no use if no productive.

it aint, it is lar sama sama one. uni is like sec school

lots of As at least means that they are good in something. employers can start shortlisting from there. no As at all, awal2 lagi kene reject. simple as that.

I don't think educations gives it all, this because study ony give you the basic, all else you have to do, get real job for your future, most of your study will be useless, for example, I learned methematic functions, but when turn into my field, the methematic functions not used at all, other calculations form arrived... later on.

sour grapes syndrome. you are saying this because you got no As, if you got a string of em, would you start this thread ?

Yeah.maybe you. But that's because you either have atleast some experience or you have excellent communication skills.

I mean, i'm not saying that having alot of As are bad, but some jobs require you to have good experience and communication skills.

Look at my uncle. Before he died, he worked at a top position in the Bank of America in Singapore, and he didn't even finish high school!

Some people also think that once they finish degree, and they straight to masters, they will be MANYZER when they cum out to wok.
