Assuming I hire both, I know who I will groom for better things in life. Both of us might be graduates of the RN program but if I have a BSN and you have as Associate Degree, guess who will be tapped for promotion if we are about the same?
Good attitudes and foundation is essential for future endeavors. It doesn't simply end with the HS exam

One of the first tests I gave kids in logic class was to draw the circuit diagram for a stair light. Whether the kids got it or not was never related to their GPA.
