OP,

What kind of nerds do you hang out with to the point you consider yourself a college screwup? I had two college roommates with <1.0 GPAs. And I have a ~2.0 GPA through 6 semesters. That 6th semester was in 2009 btw

< 88% right?, not so impressive imo


lol, more of a pipe dream than shipping the ME

Hey, OP, FYI your story is exactly like mine. except for that I most likely took longer to graduate and have almost no job experience.

I have about a 2.8 overall, and 3.? in my degree. I wasted alot of my life not knowing what degree to get, and grinding poker. While I don't really regret it, I kinda feel like I ****ed up.

I have learnt that it is easy to get the impression that you need a 3.5 gpa in a top school in a science field to succeed. If you have modest expectations, this is not true. It seems like you come from a nice family and are not an idiot, so I think you are not as screwed as you think. Once you get your 1st real job, regardless of how low the pay is, you will get more opportunities and have a clearer image of where you wanna go w/ your life.
