Once you have experience, they shouldn’t care about GPA. Do what you have to do, to get that 1st position even if less money than you want.

There is a bunch of Indian peeps with fake engineering degrees in the US and are doing alright. I currently work with a few of them and wonder where the hell did they get their CE degrees from.
So you will be alright.

You do what the rest of us do, go in at the other end through expirience. Learn by fire of small firms and adjescent jobs to get expirience to drive into engineering positions. But also, not all eng degrees give eng jobs, so diversification isn't a bad thing, often having hand on site expirience is worth more Than book worms crunching numbers, buildability and efficiency of site work is itself a good engineering wisdom a grad placement won't teach. So just focus on graduating and then take what comes and you might just be better than those with good grades.
