I have enough credits to graduate and am on fifth year. Long story, here's my problem: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parents-forum/1394851-question-about-dropping-out-5th-year-employment-gap-4.html#post14872678

If this is true I think I should just drop out of this semester and then try to get some job (please suggest me some jobs that I can get with low GPA and barely any work experience) because if I should have 3.0 to even get into an MA or worthwhile MA, then it would be good to get another BA. But I only have one more year of good financial package and then after that it might be too expensive for me to come back to the school. At least the same school. Would it be possible to return for a second BA in a cheapest university I can find anywhere in the US? Maybe Puerto Rico? But they probably teach in Spanish which I don't speak. Btw today's the last day to drop out.

If I were to pursue a Masters would it be worth it to take an extra semester to raise the GPA from 2.65 to 2.8? Or would that not make much of a difference getting admitted to Masters. Also some people were suggesting going for a second major, what would be the difference with that and going to Masters ?

How long might completing the coursework take?

(I created another account for my other computer because I can't remember the twitter username that I made for this site. ) Other people seems to say that as long as I do very good research in an MA (even if the MA is very low in terms of prestige) I could have chance at a good PhD program. But here you say that they still look at undergrad GPA? Could somebody clarify this? Another person said I need to get into fine MA programs that can be used as launching pad to good PhD, in order to get into a good PhD.
