[quote=Anonymous][quote=raptorsxyz]I graduated with a pretty low GPA, under 3.0, from a highly ranked school this year with a polisci degree. Any tips post-graduation to eventually head toward a high-earning career? Everyone is telling me law school and grad school is out of the question. I haven't had much internships, but I have had a lot of substantive summer jobs that show I have some work ethic. I'm also a really good communicator and I think a person that people enjoy being around. I have been networking etc, just looking for further advice. I also really want to move to NYC.

P.S. - PM me if anyone would like to talk about any more specific directions, but can't doxx yourself on an online forum

You attended a highly ranked school and yet have a problem with employment, you just wasted your parents' money for doing such.  The idea of attending a highly ranked school is to get connections so that you can get jobs after graduation, even with a low GPA.

My DS attended a highly ranked school, I am not going to say which one but along the line of University of Chicago.  He also studied PS and had a low 2.5 GPA, due to excessive partying but he was a frat member and one of his frat buddy parents got him a job after graduation.  That was five years ago and he recently got promoted to Senior director of Human Resource. 
 
You should have established networking during your time in college.  That's the whole idea of attending a highly ranked school.  Since you didn't or couldn't make it happen, it is on you and you have to deal with the aftermath.  it becomes much harder after you graduate.[/quote]
