What can I do with a Math Econ degree (low GPA) from UCLA?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

<p>I transferred from a community college to UCLA and, even though I tried very hard to study, I could not get any higher than a B minus.
I graduated in December with a low GPA, and yes I am very disappointed in myself. Now I want to get an entry-level job in Financial Analysis or Accounting (I did take 6 Accounting classes) but my GPA is low (2.6 UCLA, 3.2 cumulative) so I dare not to put it in my resume. I have plenty of administrative assistance and retail experience, but they are not relevant to the fields I want to get into. </p>

<p>Please give me advice on how to get an entry-level job. </p>

<p>What sources should go to to find an entry level job? Most finance job postings on Monsters, Indeed, etc. say "minimum requirement of 1-2 years experience". I don't know where to go to build my experience from zero.
Do firms still hire unpaid interns even though they have recently graduated?
Should I apply to be a personal banker at retail banks?
Are there any other career options for me?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>You have a degree from UCLA and in Econ no less, you are way ahead of the game already. Most of what you’ll will be on the job so just focus on getting your foot in the door somewhere. I graduated from UCLA '09 and have never had any problem getting a job and this is with a 2.8 gpa so you should not have any problem. A good attitude can overcome poor school performance. You will be fine. All the best and Go BRUINS!</p>
