Your GPA is only a concern A) in high school, to get into college on a scholarship or B) if you are on a scholarship or grant that requires you to maintain a certain GPA while in college to receive the funds, or C) if you are trying to graduate cum laude. Otherwise, as long as you pass all the required courses you get the same degree with a 2.0 GPA as you get with a 4.0 GPA. Most employers look for the degree and don’t pay attention to GPA. And unless you are becoming a doctor or lawyer, you are stupid to pay $200K for a college degree. You can get a degree at a state college or university for about $20-25K per year max.

Clearly not true. Many resumes are tossed by HR if the GPA is not above a certain threshold for certain unprotected minorities( white males ). Usually that threshold is 3.0 or better.
