[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from a mediocre state school with a rubbish GPA and no internships and I did fine. If he's interested in living in DC have him apply to trade associations. The pay sucks at first but they'll take anyone with a degree and definitely don't care about GPA. Work-life balance is great and if you're halfway intelligent it's easy to get promoted. From there he can transition into government, consulting, other nonprofits, pretty much anything that doesn't require professional licensing. Or if he sticks with it higher up people in associations can make perfectly decent money - Directors and VPs are usually in the mid to high $100s and Presidents/C-suite can make $200-$500K depending on how big the association is.
