Man, I'm so pissed off today after I got my mid-terms. I have parents who work over at the factory, and now I'm ashamed and afraid that I will carry on with their careers.
Someone please tell me what I could do. I don't want to work over 80 hours a week at a factory.

Oh honey, be proud. be very proud. It is so wonderful that you are concerned! you're doing great. Don't look down on your parents though. It sounds like they instilled in you the importance of a good education. Keep up the good work and be happy with yourself!!!!

You scored higher than I did in college. Congratulations.
I have a decent job, so I'm sure you will do even better,
given that you clearly push yourself more than I did in school.
If you complete your college degree that is the important thing
that most people look at on your resume. The rest is your work experience, so that happens outside of class.
If you want to know more about jobs and careers, read "What Color is Your Parachute" by Dr. Richard Bolles, which debunks common myths about the job market. You will feel much better.
This manual has great exercises and references to help you focus on your best skills, and where and how to pursue your career goals.
The most successful people I know run their own businesses, whether they had a 2.0 or 3.0 or what; and one guy doesn't even have a college degree. He made so much money in his real estate business he donated millions to an international cause.
My boyfriend made C's in college and is more successful in radio than the booksmart types who make A's and can't edit a program to fit a certain timeslot. His teachers told the class that grades do not matter in their field; it is all about work experience.
As long as you work hard at whatever you do, you will succeed. The biggest difference between the poverty sector and the middle or upper class is owning and managing your own property and business instead of renting from or working for other people. See also "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which explains breaking out of the generational cycles of poverty.
If you focus on what skills you can develop, the talents you enjoy the most, you can learn how to build your own business from that, by working with successful businesspeople who manage well or have built and own their own companies. You can do the same.
Take care and good luck. It is okay to be hard on yourself if it helps you to refocus; but if it distracts you and makes you stress out where you lose focus, that isn't helping you to improve. I suggest re-evaluating what you really want to develop as a career, and seek work experience that will help you get there.

A 3.42 is a pretty decent GPA actually, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You should have no problem getting into a college with a GPA like that, and it sounds like you're motivated to work hard so I wouldn't worry. Be proud of yourself ^_^
