so basically you have confirmation that the degree was useless (in the sense that you didn't use the stuff learnt ibn the degree in your professinoal life). Therefore, your GPA in that degree is meaningless.

Imagine you didn't do this, but instead got a job that did utilise the degree…would your gpa matter then?

You act like I don't use my Art degree. Not only did I program my apps, I designed them too. I think a lot of the work was useless and antiquated, and didn't prepare any of my classmates and I for a life in the age where software is everywhere. I noticed that every one of them would have the same degree as I, and with a better GPA, so I learned a new skill as well.

I use Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop just as much as I use Xcode in my professional life - and that's quite a bit.
