Is 2.65ish GPA in 4 yrs better or 2.9ish in 5 years better?

Unless the job requires skills that are different than coursework. For example, many public relations and event organizing jobs require strong people skills, good organizational/calendar skills and a dash of polish or style. A miserable grade in chemistry is irrelevant.

I had an employer who always liked low GPA’s for salespeople. (not door to door encyclopedias… this was high end, long lead time, big ticket sales.) He said that in his experience, they always felt like they had something to prove given their modest academic achievements, and therefore worked harder and smarter than the A students.
