What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

It's just an overly positive way of saying, "If you don't get good grades in uni, many HRs will de-list you before looking at your resume".

I literally have never come across a job posting that asked for GPA. Unless it's like an academic internship or something. Get the degree, and nobody cares about your grades.

I don't know if they still do, but Epic Systems (the medical records company) asked for GPA when I looked at their job applications. I'm not sure if they care about the GPA, per se, so much as using it as a way to practice their notorious (but hard to prove) age discrimination.
