Neither my GPA nor my degree had any bearing on any job I've had, including a high level position at Boeing. Experience, attitude, and referals are the only thing that counts.
I'm currently self-employed with 14 employees and I did not make any degree or gpa requirements for new hires. If the interviewee has documented experience, gets along with me, has a positive attitude, and is genuinely interested in the work (mostly IT), they are in. Most companies hire this way: if they like you and you're qualified for the job, you're in.
