Most people don't understand what college is actually for. Most people think college is to learn something and then you make a career out of it. Well, it's not, unless you want to go into academia.

College is a way to socialize and meet other people. This means you need to get into the right crowds and meet the right people. You use this time to do things like internships. What you learn and what your GPA is does not matter to any employer. Who you know, does.
