Through any sort of "job postings," I can't name even one posting--be it for an actual employee position, internship, anything--that did NOT specify a minimum GPA, or ask for a transcript, or some combo of these. Where are people looking for these places that don't nit-pick past the fact that I...

@Delong How did you go about finding that? Everywhere I've heard of wants undergrads

@jedishrfu I'm about 35% through that book Dr. Courtney recommended and it's really a smack in the face for how I've always approached job hunting. With what it says in there and the stuff y'all have said here, I have an idea of what I need to do, but it's a lot of info. I'm working on getting...

I'm not sure how to best put this, but I'm in what seems like an almost un-fixable predicament. I graduated in 2015 with two degrees, one of which is a B.S. in Physics with a minor in Astronomy, the other a B.A. in Russian Langauge (did that one not really for career prospects but because I...
