[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son is pursing a mechanical engineering degree at Clemson.  His GPA is terrible -- barely above 2.0.  He says that this is not atypical for engineering majors and that their classes are much more rigorous and much more difficult to pass than those of non-engineering majors.  We are quite concerned and are wondering if this is at all accurate.

What year is he? Goodluck getting a job with a 2.0-2.5. They’re going to assume he’s a liability — safely assume, I might add. [/quote]

He is a first semester freshman! We have no idea where he will finish.[/quote]

It only gets harder.  I had a 3.3 GPA my first semester in engineering and slid to a 2.5 by the time I graduated.

That said, I got an engineering job immediately after graduation and now make $140k ten years later.[/quote]

You were as bad as I was. LOL. Happy Holidays! [/quote]

Me too. 2.3 gpa when graduated.

Own my own company now make over a million a year.  Got a job right out of college as an engineer.[/quote]
