I'm graduating this year at University of California: San Diego with a degree in Economics and Mathematics. Currently I have a 2.5 and most likely won't bring it up any higher.
Will I find a good paying job?
I have had several internships over the years in consulting, finance, and marketing.
Where do I stand? I'm just scared to be unemployed when I graduate.

onceI don't agree with other answers I have read for your question. You said you are graduating with maths and economics degree then why you have finance and marketing degree. Those should be for a business major. Anyway GPA does matter you won't get in a big firm unless you got at least 3.0 GPA. try to change your job search plan to smaller firms or local firms. Keep applying at bigger firms but don't rely on them only, smaller firms mostly are lenient on requirements. once you have 1 or 2 years exp. then no one going to ask you about your GPA, but If you are in job search after college it would definetly be asked, make sure you have some answers to tell why it is lower. donn't just say I couldn't get it up, say something like I was working full time and paying for my studies, if you really are.

You're not damned. You can find a job somewhere if you have gained the SKILLS you need in your field. You GPA is only to get your foot in the door for your first job and you've already had several. After 5 years, it won't matter anymore because experience will be more important.

You don't have to put your GPA on your resume and not all employers ask for it anyway. They usually just look at the degree, school, and experience. I've never been asked for my GPA and I had no trouble getting a job out of college. The internships are great experience, too.

once you have your degree, they do not ask about your GPA. Like we say at the hospital where I work, some Dr's graduate at the top of the class, and some at the bottom; but at the end they are all called DR.

Thats not good for someone who has a degree in Math/Econ. Well I guess it would depend on how much experience you have.

As long as you can get your degree you should be fine.
You won't be getting into a graduate program with those grade though...

Nobody cares about your gpa unless your job is related to academics.
