A reader asks:
I had an appointment with my adviser and he said something along the lines of "When it comes down to it, GPA's don't matter as long as you can write." I was wondering how much weight GPA's have with studios and employers when trying to get a job in the business after college. Is it going to matter as much as presenting a really great spec would?
 Any insight into this would be awesome.
Your adviser is right.  A potential employer will consider your experience and pertinent skills (and in some cases, your writing sample); your GPA is irrelevant when it comes to landing an industry job.
