you'll get a job with that GPA. I got one with an even worse GPA.

I'd go out, try to get jobs...and if you can't get any, just lie and say your GPA is a 3.7 and see what kind of responses you get because hey...you got nothign to lose eventually..if you have a 2.7 you're not going to get the job anyways....
In my experience most employers wont' check...

My GPA was 3.42, but I told interviewer from the boeing company that I had GPA of 3.5. After getting hired, they corrected my GPA to 3.42 in my personnel file.
So, yes they do check.

Don't feel hopeless. The market for I.T. hiring is a bit slow at the moment. Hopefully, it picks up soon, though.I just graduated from GT with a 2.88 in CS.. I got 1 interview no full time job... its basically hopeless
