Do you think it would be better to drop my double major (I'd stick with just Chem E) and unpaid research to help bring up my gpa?

I doubt that engineering will be outsourced as much as some of the other professions. Let's look at computer science degress. The reason that many programming jobs are outsourced is because code is something that can easily be emailed overseas and programming is typically an antisocial...

Okay, long story short, I am a sophomore looking at eventually getting into a Ph.D. program in Chemical Engineering but my grades aren't up to par. Due to slacking off Freshman year and a heavy work load (due to a double major and work) my gpa is only a 3.25. I'm just afraid because my classes...

Oh man, I feel dumb for missing that. Thanks :)
