I have a low 3, and if I get a C in Finance I may either drop extremely borderline or to a 2.9, I`m trying  make sure I at least Grad Cum Laude. I have a decent gig right now making  Good money, not something I'd do for a living, but for a college student with no kids it does have me living lavish. Oh yea I`m a CIS Major, I feel that Super High GPAs are vital for Management and Marketing, but when it comes to IT its all about experience.

It depends on whether or not you're going to pursue an advanced degree.  I've seen profiles of people with low GPA's, that bang out their GMAT and essays and get into top 10 programs.  You're GPA is only one part of the application.
