Low GPA question...

[mongoose65]

I am contemplating switching from EC to TESC based on the better evaluation, FEMA and fewer number of UL credits needed. My problem is that either way my GPA is lame (2.41 at EC, 2.0 at TESC). I feel I should just get the degree and if I decide on grad school later, I will mostly rely on my good lucks (ok, just being silly). Rely on resume, GRE, references, good essays, etc. I am not looking for a fancy program, however I want to continue to test out and do not want to take courses. I am honestly not interested and not motivated. I feel my BS is just cleaning up the wreckage of the past. Grad school will be a new beginning and I am a much different person now than I was when my GPA was garnered 25 years ago. If I take the BS, does that "lock" in my GPA for eternity (I think the answer is yes to that but I'm not sure).

Just wondered what the good folks here thought. Is there THAT much difference between a 2.0 and a 2.41? It's just as embarassing explaining either one to an admissions dept.

Also, any recommendations for inexpensive grad programs with lax admission standards (LOL).

Thanks and best to all.
