hi everyone, i'm an industrial engineer currently wrapping up my spring semester and i believe i'll be dissatisfied with the results for my gpa. i took a class as a gpa booster but it'll end up having the opposite effect slightly because i won't get the grade i wanted, so i just wasted a bunch of time. my gpa is around a 2.50 and i've been desperately trying to bring it back up to a 3.0 because employers, especially in engineering fields, are strict about that requirement from what i gathered.
the thought of getting the degree but having a very difficult time finding a job post-grad kind of haunts me, and it's making me feel that it'd be worth investing my time into something else that has been working (i run my own business). of course i think i should still utilize my degree when i get it, but it makes me feel that i rather work for myself if just a handful would be interested in hiring me right out the gates, not on the top of the priority list in other words
what do you guys think
