Not in engineering. Many employers don't have a minimum GPA and understand that the course work is hard and the grades aren't inflated.  Get a job there and then move on to more competitive jobs once you've got some experience. [/quote]

This X 1000

He isn’t in finance, law or trying to get not med school. As long as he gets some internship or work experience before he graduates he’ll do great.

Think of it like this. A politician doesn’t need 90% of the vote , he only needs 51%. [/quote]

This is simply not true. No one wants to hire an engineer who barely passes engineering courses. Having C-avg for engineering and/or intro courses is really bad. I suspect people like PPs are not engineers. [/quote]

But the classes we are talking about are the intro classes. The actual engineering classes are mostly junior and senior year. 
Like a PP, my lowest college grade was in Orgo, and I now work for a chemical company. [/quote]
