A high GPA won't help you but a low GPA will hurt you early on in your career.
A 4.0 and 3 bucks gets you a plane cup of coffee at Starbucks
I had less than a 2.5 but I worked 3 jobs an averaged 60 hours week. I still have debt but I paid my way through college. If I went back now and didn't have to worry about money I'm sure I'd get a much higher gpa.
I agree. Looking at the whole package in your situation would probably also entail looking at what college you attended and what classes you took. I hope this doesn't come back to hurt you. Hindsight is 20/20 and you'll probably never know if this was the case but if your gpa does end up hurting your chances, it might have been more intelligent to lower the school load in order to get at least a 2.5. It's unfortunate in a way that interviews are so subjective, good luck.
