My question is: Does the GPA really matter? I mean, if I barely graduate with a 2.0 or 2.5 or whatever and in the end I still have that Degree in my hands, does it really matter if all you want is that Degree? I'm hoping someone with more experience can fill me in on the importance of the GPA.
Thanks,

For some federal jobs, the requirements are stated in the recruitment. Such as "GPA of 3.0 required. 3.5 for advanced standing."
Check the recruitment for any job you are applying for. Private employers would certainly prefer someone with a higher GPA howver they may not require it. If the job is between you and 1 other applicant and you are tied in every other way, they good GPA may take you over the top.
Good luck. Do your best.
