If you apply for a job or grad school everyone will look at your gpa.

That, I think, is false (though universities encourage the undergrads to believe this). Employers don't care about GPA at all.

I found that the first employer cared, and it was tricky to get a first job with a bad GPA. After the first job, they don't even ask about it.

Unless you're trying to work for McKinsey or something, yeah, I wouldn't worry to much about it.
