This is going to be borderline off topic, any maybe someone else can chime in, and this definitely would apply to someone trying to figure out what to major in. The closer you get to hard science, the more acceptable it is to be "just above mediocre" at it. Im throwing this out there for your case, because, who knows, maybe you're inspired enough to go get an A.S. in Computer Science or something.

Programmers (just an example)are in such demand that things like your GPA when you graduated, extra curricular crap, internships, etc don't mean nearly as much as they do for soft skills. You can easily be a C average comp sci major coming out of school making 20k more a year than a 4.0 lib arts guy. I'd lump just about every engineering field into that too.

Regarding the post above...trying to be a Project Manager is going to lock you into a certain type of company...i.e. companies that have projects large enough they need to be managed. When I was at Lockheed Martin, we had a ton of project managers. However, every single VP, fellow, chief of whatever that I met while I was there had some soft of hard skills specialty before they got to their current level. I think being a PM gives you a glass ceiling unless you go back and re-educate. (Which is why when I got my masters at GW there were a ton of old people in some of the classes playing catch up)
