Uni Mythbusters: Grades are the most important thing for finding a job in the future

The belief that grades solely determine future success is misleading. While important, especially for certain academic and scholarship opportunities, they are not the only factor in career success. Employers value practical experience, soft skills, and teamwork, often gained through internships, part-time jobs, and volunteering which can be undertaken while you study. Additionally, extracurricular activities enhance personal development, fostering leadership and time management, and other important valued skills for the job world.

A well-rounded profile, combining academic achievement with practical experience and personal growth, better prepares students for future challenges. Focusing only on grades overlooks the multifaceted nature of professional achievement and personal fulfilment.
