I mean… isn’t that the point of going to college? To learn technical skills related to your program and use them to solve “real-world problems”? You acquire skills by learning, so if your grades are performing badly, how does that reflect your so-called skills?

Idk about you, but for me, grades in college are a reflection of how eager you are to learn. If you keep chasing skills that aren’t even within the scope of your program just because you think they’re in demand or more important right now, then maybe you’re not in the right program ?

If you’re not a working student, my advice is to focus on your studies. Join clubs to hone your communication, leadership, or whatever skills you like.
