I'm probably going to get heavily flamed for this, but your GPA won't mean too much once you're in the work-field. Honestly, just do what you can, and you'll find out where you stand once you graduate. What "I" am personally doing right now is just worry about what I have in the present, and then move on by working. If I don't like where I am at in my life, then I'll go ahead and keep on learning in school. However, I find it reckless to just go straight ahead and learn as a graduate. You might find out that you're getting ahead of yourself. Just see if the workload is enough for you to earn a living, and if you think it isn't enough, go forward. Don't waste money to get those two additional years unless you really need it, is what I'm trying to say.
Then again, I'm really pessimistic, and hate people that are all "Yeah, go as high as you can in college". That's a whole load of bullsh`it and they know it. You should only go higher if you're looking for more opportunities and advances. That's why I'm kinda iffy about going for a Master's since I'm majoring in Information Systems. It's not worth it, because those two additional years just screams "Oh hey, I wasted two more additional years with loans up my anus and I can't ever pay it off if I can't find a job".
It's your social experience, and your knowledge that you retained and/or gained from classes that will get you a job. Not your degree. I know one guy that's making 6-digits right now, and he doesn't even have a degree. He's a programmer, and he never went to college. But anyways, I'm getting off-track with this, so I'll stop.
