Agreed. My current employer in my field told me they were extremely impressed with my academic record and the achievements I earned. It shows dedication and commitment and shows that you don’t just bare minimum your way through school.

there is so much unnecessary shaming towards “try hards” … is trying hard really that embarrassing? not to mention people need different grades for different fields. lawyers and doctors need different grades than engineers for example because the fields prioritize different things.
