I do "Research and Development" for DuPont - the majority of my job has little to do with organic. In industry it isnt like a test in college, you always have resources at your fingertips, just got to know where to look, and you become very familiar with what applies to you everyday.

With that said, it is still very important to keep the gpa high - grad school, and recruiting is VERY competitive and it is only going to get worse.

I completely agree. In the Pharmaceutical industry, more important than book smarts is good lab skills and compliance, specifically good observations and documentation skills. The fact that every day we are at risk of being audited and shut down, compliance and GLP is critical. GLP is good laboratory practices.
