Low GPA Job Potential

I have a 2.9 at the end of my freshman year of college. I am planning on graduating at the conclusion of my third year and I’m nervous that this poor GPA will haunt me and prevent me from getting an internship and subsequently a job in the future. Does anyone have any experience with overcoming a poor GPA?

It depends upon your field. In some fields the internship interviews are about assessing problem solving skills (what you know) as opposed to more traditional interviews that ask about grades and such. In that case the grades don’t matter.
