Thanks for the words of encouragement. Unfortunately I feel my career is dead. I too feel that my lower GPA was due to a variety of reasons (no financial aid, working 40 hours a week, depression, health problems, etc), but at this juncture of life it is another set of seemingly insurmountable odds. Low pay, high debt, crappy job, new baby, demanding wife... Well, not to be self critical, but I don't see myself ever being a rockstar. I'll be lucky if I ever hit 60k+... Sadly even that isn't much here in the Seattle area. no scholarships anyway, plenty of student loans. Too many. I was 26 when I started college, and while my parents always told me they'd help if I went to college, all I got was co-signed loans. I'm 35 now.
