Graduating from college is a very very admirable thing. It's unfortunate that your cousin has a lower GPA than most places would like to see. I screwed around my freshman year of school, and consequently started off with a low GPA. I've been able to work hard and pull it up to a 3.1, but it certainly isn't easy. Your cousin has a few options. He should remember that simply because he has a low GPA doesn't mean he isn't qualified. He has to let the company interviewing him know that he is the ONLY person who can do the job. Interviewing skills are very important, especially when other areas of your resume may leave employers wanting more. My dad didn't go to college, but he has certifications out the ass and has managed to work in to a position as a Network Manager making a fairly decent salary. Not all hope is lost.
