Yep. A student graduating from a state school with a GPA > 3.0 will have better employment opportunities, assuming that you did no extracurricular activities that might redeem your GPA.

Pretty much. However, after you get a job, GPA doesn't matter just like high school GPA doesn't matter if you're a transfer whore.

1.) Your first job (assuming it is directly related to your major) will be interested in your GPA. AFTERWARDS, they will only be interested in what your major was and what your past WORK EXPERIENCE was.
2.) Even with a 2.5 GPA, if you play your cards right, your first job can be good.
3.) Bachelors degree doesn't count after you go to graduate school. but if you aren't going to go to grad school to try and improve, see 1 & 2.
ALL HOPE IS NOT LOST YET!

Not OP, but just wondering, is it actually possible to get into a graduate school in the US with a GPA of 2.5 and no prior research experience? I'd think not...

Have conversations with your professors. Having no personal life, they will vent their problems as if they were drinking with you, and longer conversations will earn you more respect as the conversation exits their short term memory.

And enters their ass as you are annoying the fuck out of them.
Just kidding.
Keep the conversations personal, but not too intruding. Befriend them and don't act like one class is a stepping stone to the next (even though they are). By doing this, you establish and distinguish yourself as something more in their eyes compared to your peers.
