<p>OP, tell your friend to stay in school. Work on increasing the GPA. To get a “real” job in Marketing, an internship is fine and dandy, but relevant work experience can be just as worthwhile. </p>

<p>A 2.6 is no reason to give up.</p>

22

<p>Marketing is a fictional career.</p>

23

<p>Whistleblower1, please explain what you mean by “fictional.”</p>

24

<p>now im confused by this thread</p>

25

<p>Editing my comment to be a little less coarse:</p>

<p>whistleblower - Marketing is an integral function of any business. You will not find a single experienced businessperson who tells you marketing is fictional or useless. Billions of dollars annually is devoted to marketing spend. They must know something you (we) don’t.</p>

<p>What was their selected discipline inside Engineering and also where is the general location that they’re working at. </p>

<p>^^^I’m just curious, BTW.</p>

27

<p>It would be sketch to list actual companies/schools they’re interning at, so here:
One’s a compsci working in stl.
One’s an ee working in norcal.
Two are bme’s - one in stl, one in socal.</p>

28

<p>Engineering GPAs are weighted by employers. If your friend had a 2.0 but took tough courses it could turn into over a 3.0.</p>

<p>Lets not feed the ■■■■■</p>

<p>Learn a trade.</p>

31

<p>Learn a trade or start a small business. </p>

<p>And no one cares about your college GPA. As long as it’s above 3.0, you’re fine.</p>

<p>Did you read the title of this thread pandem?</p>

<p>^ You say that like it’s a bad thing…</p>

35

<p>Well don’t support him. I doubt any of this stuff is real. Something is seriously wrong with whistleblower if he really thinks his situation is bad. It’s just made up.</p>

36

<p>It’s not my situation. I have a weak GPA but it’s certainly well over 3.0. It would be higher but my IQ is too high.</p>

37

<p>Is the trade legal?</p>

38

<p>

</p>

<p>Same here… mine is 2.4 but if my iq was lower it would be mid 3.0 (thankfully not).</p>

39

<p>Some of this stuff is pretty funny, really. I particularly like the “internship or live in squalor” bit.</p>
