Google No Longer Hires Based on GPA

Google has made the revelation that GPA and college transcripts are close to worthless when hiring their employees. As a result, they are hiring more people who have never even been to college. I agree with this action entirely. We are beginning to live in a world that no longer revolves around grades. In the school systems in America, most of the lessons and materials revolve around tests. Everything that students students learn and study for is for a test, or, for a specific answer in class. "One of my own frustrations when I was in college and grad school is that you knew the possessor was looking for a specific answer...", Google's Senior Vice President for People's Operations Laszlo Bock. It is interesting that Google is just now realizing this fact that the skills that are learned in college are "completely unrelated" to the skills taught when working for Google. However, at the end of the day, Google still does hire more people who are college grads and undergrads than not. In society today, we all need to stop focusing on grades and more about life skills or skills associated with the future job that is preferred.
