<p>I been in a pessimistic state for a while now. i was a mech engineer major for a while but switched due to the coarse load and my suffering gpa. it was also something i was pushed into, didn’t really enjoy it as much as i thought i would. </p>
<p>i ended up switching to economics w/ a minor in business administration. my major GPA is a 3.3 but my cumulative is a measly 2.6 due to some of the engineering courses. i’m a senior currently at USC in columbia, SC and have 1 more semester in fall. The only worthy work experience i have is 2 summer internships at an engineering manufacturing firm during my engineering years which is irrelevant now to my current major. I have been trying to attain an intern or some relevant job for the summer but its no easy task. I know my chances are slim w/ my overall gpa, considering how most prestigious places require at least a 3.0. I am going to keep trying though for the fall semester as well. </p>
<p>Some of my questions are:
- should i mention that i was an engineering major or interned as an engineering major on my resume? Currently, i have it unmentioned and just stated that i interned at this firm.</p>
<li><p>when i go to an interview, again should i mention about my previous major or wait till they ask for my overall gpa and then go into details? </p></li>
<li><p>What are some tips/advice on how to better my chances for jobs in the future?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>any other thoughts/opinions will be appreciated</p>
