Cool, thanks for the advice.

I dont feel like starting a new thread just to ask a question.

But do people look at cumulative GPA while hiring? or HOW you passed college? or just if u have a bachelor\'s?

Because theres a chance i could fail chemistry. After i bombed a lab test i kinda threw in the towel about going into it (if i couldnt pass the first class..what about the next 2 and then biology after that). Granted i did that prematurely, got pissed off with it, didnt really study, and im probably going to bomb a test tomorrow. I studied a bit but i got sick so im not studying as hard as i usually can. plus its tomorrow and i know im kinda screwed.

ANYWAY, im going to switch majors but now i might have the F in chemistry that im not going back to fix. Eventually ill get a bachelors in business er something, but will jobs look back and see i got an F that lowered my cummulative GPA? or will they just look that i got the bachelors?

I\'m 0-2 with random majors..first one doesnt really count cuz i changed it before school started. So im probably going to go into something relatively predictable like business even though im not "interested" in it. Sales is pretty big and my cousin does business with wine and is doing really well. I figure, if ur interested in something, go and try majoring in it to see if u can get a career in something u like. If ur not interested in anything specific, go into something obvious like business,heh.

Why don\'t you withdrawl from the course? It won\'t hurt your GPA if you do.

As long as you have a bachelor\'s you can get a decent job.  If you\'re pursuing a master\'s or want to make the top 10-20% in your field, a good GPA is almost always needed.

Business is a decent degree that can be used in any type of professional field.  Though econs & accounting kicked my azz, I learned a ton of seemingly logical facts about the business world that I wouldn\'t have learned otherwise.

Communications is the universal BS degree; fairly easy to get, but can land you a good job.

i was more concerned about a lower cummulative gpa than them seeing an F in chemistry. But i started majoring in biology, which is why failing chemistry is a bigger deal than if it was just some class i had to get out of the way. Not that i ever get my grades in time..i got my quiz grade i took like 2 months ago yesterday so i kinda have to wait till the way end to see what i will end up with.

cant drop it though. Think 4 weeks into the semester was the deadline to do that. Have finals in a couple weeks so im almost done with it.

But whatever..mightve done decent on the test today and i still got the final to give me some more points and manage a C. Still going to switch whether i pass it or not.

thanks for the advice THX. Ill have all christmas break to look over majors so ill check what ways i could go with communication

That\'s kinda what I\'m doing. I\'m majoring in Communications with a concentration in radio/tv/film is what I believe they call it. Either way, I get a BA in Communications....I think. Maybe I should research this before I declare :)
