Grades certainly mean nothing when it comes to personal character, work ethic, morals, etc. Most people have college degrees these days. It's not like it was 30-40 years ago, where the degreed were a cut above. It's now just a glorified high school diploma, but we all need one for some reason.

It is akin to the Wall Street system, the auto sales system house, and the current banking system. We have proven that systems lead to mediocre performance and a loss of learning in the industries, as well as stunting individual growth. This loss is not new, just look at the railroads running with an outdated system at least a hundred years old.
