How do you get field experience in or out of college? How do I get proficient knowledge of a second language out of college? Is that possible? Maybe some abroad experience...? Thank you everyone for your replies.

Hi everyone, I'm considering becoming an Applied Anthropologist. I am currently an undergrad and I am already freaking about the future requirements. My GPA is a lousy 2.68 despite getting B B+ and A's within my major. I messed up a little bit in the beginning since as a transfer student I had no idea what to study. My idea for this quarter was to 17 credits with two WP3 (writing intensive) courses and two other general requirements. There is an extra class I don't have to take but if I finish with all A's, I'd get a 3.0. Then there is summer quarter and then I'd be able to get 3.1 with the remaining courses. Its the highest I can get before I graduate. My question, do I really need to push myself this hard to get a good GPA that will at least look favorable toward any future universities that I want to go to? I want to get into a good school who will most of all accept me. Does taking a year off teaching in another country look favorable for applicants? I am not sure what I should be focus within anthropology! I don't know another language but I would love too....Do I really need to take the extra time to learn one? Ughh.. The only thing worthwhile things I have done are volunteer work, leadership responsibilities and I was nominated for scholars week presentation...? I need a reality check. What am I doing right? What can change... Thanks for your time.
