Hi, I am currently a junior pursuing a business degree (concentration in operations and analytics), and there is a good chance I am going to graduate with only 2 part-time jobs (Intramural official, and sports facility supervisor), also an Intel Global Career Data Visualization certificate, but I honestly did not learn much in that class (my own fault). I also have a 2.57 GPA and no real connections outside of my parents, but one is a branch manager at a top retail bank, and the other is a managing director at Big 4 accounting, and I obviously don't have the resume for those.

I am gonna try to do as much as I can, but I am already gonna be fighting for my life, trying to graduate and pass the upcoming classes, as my schedule will be packed. I already know I fucked up during my college career, but it definitely did not help that I am dealing with a stomach disease called SIBO. I am assuming the advice would be to try and get any relevant work experience, projects, or a temp job, as that is what I have been recommended before, but I am more so seeking what I should expect or do if I am unable to find the time to get these on my resume prior to graduating. I would be living back with my parents in San Francisco, so I would need a job there or nearby (maybe somewhere like Berkeley), so that's a challenge in itself as well.

My main questions are, how difficult will it be for me to find a job in that area, what job should I expect or seek, what do you think my salary would be, will my GPA even be looked at for the roles that I have a chance in, and what's the best path to eventually turn around my failure of a career (I am thinking something like admin assistant, ops assistant, ops coordinator, and then maybe an analyst once i gain skills). I am also only doing operations because it seems like the most realistic path for me, but I haven't even taken any OPS classes. Oh, and I also will likely graduate in the summer or even fall, so there's that. Thank you in advance to anyone who reads all this.

Hi, I am currently a Junior at Uoregon pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration (Concentration in Ops/Business Analytics as of now, havent even taken those classes yet tho). I don't have any experience besides being an intramural official and a sports facility supervisor, no meaningful connections, etc. The only thing I have that seems kinda neat is a data visualization certificate from Intel from their global accelerator program. I will also be taking classes this summer and next summer, so I don't really have time for a proper internship, and my GPA is 2.57.

I feel like I am pretty screwed, and I know I realistically am, but my priority right now is to simply graduate by the end of the next summer 2027, but I still want to be prepared for what to do. I have about a month of free time from the end of August to the end of September, so maybe I can do an externship or some project during that time. I know absolutely nothing about how all this stuff works, so I guess I am mainly looking for suggestions on what to do, what jobs I should seek when I graduate, and when I am supposed to do that, given that I am graduating late (In the summer instead of spring).

As of now my plan is to try and seek some sort of administrative role at maybe a hotel or healthcare area and then go into operations behind the scenes and go from there. But even that seems like a stretch now when I reflect on my resume, skills, and timing and I feel like all these jobs require previous experience. The only thing I have going for me (eventually) is a degree but a horrible gpa at that. Any suggestions on what I should do please or any comments even would help.
