Im about to graduate with a B.S. in Finance from a respected university (Lehigh). My gpa is good, however, people have been telling me that my crappy credit report is going to prevent me from getting a job period. If that’s the case, what can I do? I’ve paid most of them off; but the fact is, at one point they were negative delinquencies.

    at least semi important. you should be able to manage your finances before attempting to handle someone else’s.

    Look at it this way, in most financial positions you have to handle money, sometimes large amounts of it.

    Would you want to hire someone to handle your money if they could handle their own?
