Do employers look at GPA?

No! It's a "C." However, trying to get into a graduate school with such an average might be a little difficult. Many of them require at least a 3.0 or they won't even consider you a candidate.

Some colleges will "suspend" students with that GPA. I took one course at a college and got a D, so my GPA was about that and they told me I had to go to academic advising before I was allowed to register again. But if you are just trying to go to school, graduate and get a job, you might be able to get away with a 2.5. A 3.0 is preferable (that's a C, I think). Most colleges, when you are transfering or applying for a program look at your core GPA, which are the grades you are getting in your core classes for your major. For example I have a 4.0 core GPA and a 3.6 cumulative GPA thanks to chemistry. I go by my core GPA. But, Im in trying to get into PT school, which is very competitive. Keep Trying!

From my experience, employers don't look at your GPA. They are interested in you having your degree, but mostly they want you to have experience in whatever field you've studied. A 2.2 GPA is low, but you're a freshman so you have time to bring it up. It takes work, but it's worth it.

Not necessarily, but a lower GPA will definitely hurt your job prospects. I was applying for internships this summer and a lot of them required you to have a 2.5 minimum GPA. Hope you can pull that up!
