[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So do kids with 2.5 GPAs really get jobs and internships in 2023 (i.e. now and not 10 or 20 yrs ago) It seems really challenging (my kids are currently at the internship phase) and it seems really hard, even with great grades (one of mine has great grades, one does not).[/quote] It depends on the school and their contacts. [/quote] Yes, I have a sample of 1, of a kid with less than a 3.0 that was able to land a job this summer after graduating in May. DS majored in physics, learned how to code, and was able to land a good paying job as an entry level software engineer. His job search was tougher than that of his older brother who had the same major but a much higher GPA, and the starting pay for the kid with less than a 3.0 was lower, but it can be done. DS#2 was going to have less than a 3.0 whether he majored in physics or any other subject -- some kids are just not dedicated students.[/quote]
