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

<p>I just found out that if I drop this semester, I would have to pay back ~4k, and I won’t get my diploma until I pay this amount. But our family is in a bad financial situation and we’ve spent them all. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Maybe I could work as a hotel room attendant or truck driver for a couple months to pay this back? Does that look bad on resume?</p></li>
<li><p>Could jobs that doesn’t require college diploma count as something to cover the employment gap between graduation and a real job where you can move up?</p></li>
</ol>
