[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he like, OP?

College grades only really matter if you are going to grad school. Otherwise, yes, he needs to just cross that finish line. Is there a line of work he likes that he could pursue while he's in school? Internships that sort of thing? Because his next stop is employment. Focus on that.[/quote]

Do employers not look at colelge GPA during the interview process?[/quote]

They absolutely do!

When the students go on the  career center website to sign up for interviews, emploeyers can set minimum requirements. The most common are major and GPA. The best jobs require a 3.5 then there’s the less competitive jobs with a 3.0 cutoff and then there are the ones with no minimum.

+1. Literally nobody will even see your resume if GPA is below the threshold. [/quote]

College career centers have this GPA bias built into job search, but if he looks through other venues they won't.  Sure, it's BETTER that he has better GPA, more drive etc.  But if he doesn't, but is passing, it's better that he finish and get the degree than not.[/quote]
