Obviously luck is a part in life, as is experience and networking and so on.
My point is that the people who say "GPA isn't -THAT- important" are the people that will make excuses to miss class... I'm sick, don't have a ride to school, I can afford to miss this ONE class...
Whereas the people who take pride in what they do, even if GPA may not matter in the end, are the people that will go to class tired, or sick, or walk a few miles to get there, lose some sleep to make that essay due tomorrow absolutely perfect.... and so on.
