sometimes man

>>38382978
It doesn't matter. I heard that the cut-off for most competitive jobs is 3.0.

>>38383001
well what the fuck are non competitive jobs

I thought GPAs didn't matter for college degrees?

Anyway, you just have to stick with it long enough to show that you'll be an obedient slave for anyone.

Where di you hear that? Who says you have to get, or even strive for, a "competitive job"? It's true that for, say, grad school, you should have a 3.0 usually, but I think the median GPA at decent schools is something like 2.6? A 2.8 is still a B-, what's wrong with that. Work harder and you can get up to a 3.0 I bet. But most workplaces don't even ask your GPA. For accounting, go work at a bank or a non-financial business just being a staff accountant. I dropped my Accting major because I got so tired of hearing "CPA, CPA, CPA" is if that is the only way to be an Accountant. Learn coding skills (even at community college) and be a financial auditor or something--the opportunities are there, they just try to pigeonhole ACCT majors into being CPAs which is unfair.

Although it's not nice of me to say this, but I understand your feel in a different way. My CGPA is 3.09 and in the current summer semester I'm nailing a 3.5, but, even though that's pretty good, I want to get into a masters program and I need a CGPA of like 3.7 or something crazy like that.

>>38382939
Not fucked at all as long as you graduate. Employers rarely check your GPA, but you should be knowledgeable.

However, maintaining a 2.8 GPA is really stressful, man. You'd feel a lot better working harder. I know, because I've been there. Economics sounds like an interesting field. You can read about Keynes and Friedman, check some historical data, and find out who's the hack. Doesn't that sound like fun?

I don't think I should go. I don't feel mentally ready to go to college. Fuck, all my life I've never felt ready to move up in academics. I had to kiss ass and beg to graduate from high school.

>>38384248
Why not just take easy blow-off classes next semester like psychology?

I'm trying really hard to make up for it with field schools and maybe getting a PB certification in GIS, but I still don't think any grad school will accept me even if I do amazing on the GRE.

First semester of college I had a 3.5 gpa, second semester I failed 2 classes an had a 1. something. It was pretty bad I felt horrible about myself

>tfw yuropean
>tfw grades don't really matter unless you're a tryhard
Feels good lads

>>38384271
I did back in community college. I took all the easy classes. It was the only time in my life I felt hopeful for the future. Now I'm in uni and have to take maths, sciences and languages. I'm better off working at Taco Bell than pissing away thousands towards something I'm not even sure that I want.

>>38382939
i got 50's and 60's in high school because i never showed up due to depression and anxiety, something tells me community colleges wont even accept me, i really would like to go to college for journalism though.

it's be a tough month.

>>38384386
they'll accept you
trouble is making it worthwhile. can't do too poorly or else you should just withdraw from everything and wait til you're ready. getting into a 4 year will be impossible with such low grades but a W is always better than an F

3.47. I'm premed though so basically same as you

>>38384512
all the community college journalism courses around me are 3 year programs, and admission requires an essay to be written and i'm kind of shitting my pants at the thought of that. i love to write, but if i'm rejected by the one thing i thought i enjoyed/was good at i think i'd neck it right there, it would be too much for me to live with.

>>38384623
My college essay was unbelievably awful and about liking movies. It's a community college you'll be fine anon

>>38382939
Econ graduate here, don't sweat it unless you plan on going to go graduate school.

comp sci, 3.15

below 3.3 is basically a death sentence without prior experience

Wait does College GPA actually matter in the real world?

2.3 GPA Software Engineer, should I kill myself?

>>38386078
only for certain majors (cs/engineering) when you're just starting out. the more real world experience you have the more irrelevant it gets.

>>38386087
any internships and shit?
if your major gpa is above 3 you can just only write major gpa
also when are you graduating? is that a 2.3 sophomore or a 2.3 senior?

i want to kill myself.

3.7 in compsci, git gud faggots

>who /low GPA/ here
I have a 2.2 and I'm majoring in business after failing math for CS too many times. I guess it doesn't really matter in my case though since I have a job and my mother's to set me up with a entry level marketing job at her company and my step fathers offered me a coding job. I really don't want either though.

>>38386078
No not really, some top companies will look at it but you're job doesn't care

College grad here

GPA matters A LOT when getting that first job. If you don't have at least a 3.0 kiss any decent entry level corporate job bye.

You guys are idiots

My degree has a facilitiation program for internships so I'm doing that now, and it's my junior year so I only have 1 year left.

Also why do you want to kill youself?

>>38382939
I failed one class and didn't have a high enough grade to continue to the next level of another class. That was my first semester of college. I should've quit while I was ahead, but I somehow kept going for three years after that. My GPA progressively got worse and worse, and once it dipped down to a 1.8, I was suspended. By that point, I didn't care enough to keep going, so I just stopped altogether.

Learning a trade and saddling up with a union is the way to go these days.

Tfw GPA would have dropped from failing stats, but my class bullied foreign teacher into giving us all A's and ended up maintaining my 3.6

>>38386673
i mean you got some path to interning, so you aren't [sub 3 and no exp mcdonalds tier], you got something.
practice your tech interview skills and shit, i guess.
also wait how does a facilitation program even work? at my school we just have to throw our resumes at people.

and idk just life and shit. have been awake for like several dozen hours and just not feeling well and bitching about it on a nepalese barrelmaking board

I have a 0.0 gpa because I dropped out of uni but now I'm in community college and j don't know if y gpa from here counts

>>38386777
>mfw 82/100 in linear algebra counted as an A

>>38386921
if you plan on transferring to a 4 year, it actually counts a disgustingly large amount over here
average transfer gpas (significant portion from cc) tend to be quite high.

i had a 4.3 GPA and still have no job in IT. so either that means your 2.8 makes you incredibly fucked or GPA doesn't matter at all and it all comes down to if you act like an autist during the interview (which I do)

>>38386991
Ok good because I got all As on my first semester back and I'm doing good this summer

>>38382939

I never thought I'd get a job with that but somebody hired me regardless, so I guess it wasn't that big a deal.

>>38387035
when it comes to applying for jobs ask someone in your field for resume advice though. legit don't know if you would put cc gpa on your resume.

but yeah if you do badly in community college you're basically fucked.

>>38386904
Relatively prestigious University so it has Industry partnerships.

All IT students interview with the interested companies. (around fifty 10 minute interviews in two days)
The interviewers rate the students based on how much they like/want them.
The University 'hands' out the students based on their scores.
All the internships are full time, last 22 weeks and work on a scholarship type deal the works out at around $19/hr.

Also, have you tried tiring yourself out?

How Chadish is economics? I want to apply in my college, but i have heard you have to give a shiton of presentations, group projects..

>>38383117

I got a 4.0 with minimum effort.

gpa only matters directly out of college. after 2 years nobody gives a shit what your gpa was but whether you're able to actually do things. lots of people with high gpa are worthless in the real world and everyone knows it.

>>38388860
>tfw hate grinding but hate the idea of dropping out even more so I do nothing instead doing either
Physics with Calc is kicking my ass to a ridiculous degree because of that.

>>38388324
That depends on what you're studying. I see normalfags brag about their 3.5+ GPA all the time online only to find that they study liberal arts or communications.

>>38388906
you should get a big plastic table and put it somewhere away from your computer, put all of your work on that and then sit down there and play some bill evans or something

like those brown-nose upper middle class kids we all remember who did theater and choir and were all in the same AP courses, they're not better than you at focusing, they just had parents who taught them to put themselves in a situation where they had to because there is nothing around to be distracted by.

hopefully that helps me when I go back to college. I tried taking online courses however many years back and it is ridiculously easy to get sidetracked when you're on your own personal computer.

> majoring in economics

Totally fucked, because literally anyone else can do your job.

I garudated with a 2.9 in economics

the GPA isn't the problem, it's the economics part. Sure there are worse fields out there in terms of usefulness and getting a job but overall if you need to get a good job then pick another major. Economics is best for people looking to move onto grad school. Even then you're going to be making shit at some low-level government analyst position.

I got a job in IT/Finance after graduating. I still hate my job though. I didn't even like economics I just switched into it because my first major (journalism) has no jobs any more

>>38388324

In this day and age, if you know what bash or command prompt is, you're hired at 98% of jobs. The other 2% are Google and Facebook.

People are so computer-illiterate nowadays, yet computers are *easier* than ever to use. I actually had a veteran "technology specialist" tell me that she couldn't open up a zip file because she doesn't have WinZip.

She's been working there for 15+ years.

>>38382939
Degrees are a meme and having no RL work experience paired with a shitty GPA equates to wasted money. All a degree is worth is to show you stuck it out thru school and aren't a burn out wasteoid. But a "C" average isn't enough you prove you aren't
