Job Hunt

Started looking around for a part time summer job today, guess I kind of got a late start but I find it more important to do well in school than to have a few months worth of experience. I already have a weak gpa at 2.5 but a 3.0 in upper div classes. Registered to take summer classes a few days ago and to re-take a class I failed when i was not taking school seriously for my last semester. Hopefully I can get out of here with a 3.5 but I am so burnt out on school that I have struggled with my grades this semester and dropped from a constant A/B on my final grades to what looks like a few B's with mostly C's. People say grades aren't everything but grades are the only thing that your first employer has to go off of. I guess I will be happy if i get out with a 2.8 but I feel like I will have a hard time getting a job despite how hard I have worked the last 2 years of college, that one year that I didnt do anything will look worse that the 2 years I aced everything from calculus to stats to networking.
