I am a finance major and I want to either go into financial planning, or banking. Thanks!

Are you still in college? If you are, there is still time to strive for a higher GPA. All else being equal, a higher GPA is still a competitive advantage.
If you have graduated, don't worry about your GPA. Sure all else being equal, the one with a better GPA will get looked at first and be considered more than you.
But in the employment market, more goes into consideration than a GPA. Co-curricular activities in college, internships, hobbies, all comes into consideration. If you do get the interview, attitude matters. I rather employ someone with a 2.0 and great attitude than a snobbish 4.0, and I have.
Your chances are good. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Getting the right attitude becomes more important in the working world.

look in the direction of the destiny - and make up what you're able to desire to make up. For the main area no one looks at your grades as quickly as you have a credential. right here is the place think approximately themes: a million. credentialing classes require a minimum gpa. you're able to make up some training to get there. 2. States require a definite volume of instruments (with a gpa requirement) on your considerable field - and likely, my transcripts have been regarded at while the college utilized to the state on my behalf. you would be asked to take some training over to improve that score. stable luck to you!

It depends on how competitive the job is. If you're up for a job against someone with the same degree and qualifications and the company has to resort to comparing GPAs, they will. Otherwise, and most likely, they won't. Networking and experience plays more of a factor than GPA. They just want you to have a degree.

A degree earned with a 2.0 GPA will open the doors to many of the same jobs a degree with a 4.0 GPA will.
There are SOME exceptions, but I'm pretty sure that if you tout your degree and not your GPA, you'll find a job you like.

positions within the financial field require high level analytical thinking and heavy number crunching. if you have a low gpa then the person interviewing you might think your number crunching skills are "not up to par" with what they require.
unless you have a very difficult major such as mathematics, physics, or engineering you're going to have to find some way to bring up your GPA, or take a not-so-good job in the financial sector and work your way up.

I have known people with college degrees delivering parts for parts stores and high school drop outs as CEO's of large companies! If you don't have the inner drive to excel and succeed a college degree doesn't mean squat!

Most jobs you get by networking, so its not as important as you might think. It sure doesn't hurt to have a good GPA, but it's not pivotal.

It generally does not really matter what your grades are, so long as you successfully complete a degree. Sometimes, it does not even matter what your degree is in, so long as you have some degree.
I have a bachelors degree in History and am a senior software developer.
