<p>I am a sophomore with a 3.2 gpa at UIUC. My major is materials engineering. Is this good enough to get a job. I have been an undergrad research assistant for a year now.</p>
<p>It sounds more a question for your career services or professors in your dept rather than to this forum which is for college admissions advice. Good luck</p>
<p>Raising your GPA will never hurt. But you could definitely get a job with such a GPA.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, the vast majority of engineering positions open up to anyone with a GPA of 3.0+. For some positions, that bar could be higher - say 3.2 or 3.5, but those jobs are in the minority.</p>
