<p>The GPA thing IS weird, I agree, but you should work your ass off just in case. My cousin started working for Raytheon right out of undergrad too, and from what I know, it’s well worth the hard work. They paid for his entire MA program and will pay for his PhD studies which start next year. They also pay overtime (really rare nowadays), and my cousin’s been promoted/had a pay raise at least once a year since he’s been there (5 years). I agree with syoware, you should cut back your hours at your part-time job and focus on school. GPA might just be an “unofficial” requirement for new employees, but not something they want to put in writing. Who knows? I would think that a 2.99 would not be an issue, but take that with a grain of salt - I’m not Raytheon. Good luck and congratulations on a fantastic offer!</p>
