Is a 3.5 GPA good enough?

I'm graduating with a bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering with a 2.35 GPA. Will I be able to find a job?

  • Hi, So I'm finally getting my degree for EE at UCLA. However, I'm graduating with a 2.35 GPA (I know it's bad). I'm wondering if I will be able to get a job? I don't really care what companies I can get into, as long as I can find a job related to EE in order to make some money to support myself, I'm good. Before I transferred to UCLA, I earned a pretty good GPA at CC, it was 3.85 back then. However, since I got into UCLA, my family got some problems and it has given lots of pressure. I had to force myself taking more classes per quarter and try to wrap everything up within 2 years at UCLA. That's why I screwed up my GPA at UCLA. Besides, I've never had any experience in the field, never done any research or internship in my 2 years here at UCLA because I did not have time for anything else other than study for my classes. I'm here for some advice. Is there anyway I can get a job? And if i do get hired, what's the minimum salary that an EE person get paid from an ordinary company?

In my experience your degree is so difficult they don't bother looking at the GPA. Just the fact that you graduated is significant. It has more to do with your personality, willingness to work and learn. Employers should recognize that university doesn't prepare you for any specific job. It just teaches you how to teach your self. The biggest thing is you can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job. So take anything to begin with just to get something on the resume. Starting can be as low as $40k but after a few years $75k, etc. Pay your dues so to speak. If your willing to start out in the places where people don't want to work it should be easy. That might not be necessary though.
