[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female with an EE undergrad. Most classes were so hard for me, but I powered through and graduated with a poor GPA. As a result, internships and first jobs were hard to get. I eventually found my footing and I’m now a successful software engineer (thanks to the CS classes required for the EE degree). [/quote]

How poor was your GPA if you don't mind sharing?  This is my concern with DD who is a current sophomore in engineering.  She has a 3.0, but seems to be really struggling.  Wondering if I should suggest she look at other majors[/quote]

Not at all, my GPA was a 2.8.

I agree with the poster who mentioned federal employment opportunities and suggestion that your daughter should stick it out. A few of my engineering friends took offers with the USPTO and moved up the ranks so fast. I think it only takes 3-4 years nowadays to get to GS-13/14. USPTO is always hiring from any engineering discipline.

Best of luck to your daughter. [/quote]
