How big of a factor is GPA in getting a good aerospace job at a cool
company? The line "...Do good in school" is always given in advice
when I was growing up. To tell the truth I was holding a decent
3.3gpa untill I hit my math sequence at college. Now I have no more
'breeze' classes (history etc) to prop up my gpa and it's killing me.
I'm problobly around a 2.3 now.

This really bums me out. I went into Aerospace cause I wanted the job
of my dreams designing aircraft. Nobodys gona hire a medocree looser
that doesn't excell in math.

You will be competing against grads with good GPAs from good schools, good GPAs
from "mediocre" schools, and people with mediocre GPAs from both schools. If
you have the mediocre GPA from a "mediocre" school, you're probably going to be
at the bottom of the heap, unless you have something else going for you to
compensate.

Besides, I don't want "a medocree looser that doesn't excell in math" designing
any airplane that I fly!
