Would this be the same for something like med? I don't know if this question sounds silly.higher GPA = better employment
except unlike high school not only grades matter, extra curricular, internships, experience etc... also are taken into account
From what I've heard, it shouldn't matter too much; mainly just experience and a good interview for a good job since doctor of med is a prestigious degree, regardless of which university you went to. I think it would definitely matter if you were trying to change courses within the university or go to a different university for a different course entirely. Obviously, the grades don't matter(as long as your not failing) but you should still be trying to do somewhat well cos no practice or effort means you won't have the skills for the job after grad. This is coming from someone that is in yr 10 with a sibling in her 2nd yr in uni so other ppl pls confirm...Would this be the same for something like med? I don't know if this question sounds silly.

nah i asked two different med students (one at unsw and one at wsu) do marks matter if u wanna do like surgery or wanna get into a speciality later. They just said "its research, residency, experience, good interviews" etc that matter. and ur marks doesnt matter as long as u passed. Although getting good marks does help u to get a better supervisor for ur 5th year (research year) for unsw medi believe ur grades for med do matter esp if u wanna get into competitive specialties
for other degrees i've heard from countless ppl that grades do not matter too much when trying to find a job and for actuarial studies at unsw specifically i've heard that after ur wam (weighted average mean) crosses 75 employers do not care (still rocking that HD wam tho)
