Glocap? I don't know if it's good or bad or what.

Nope, not solid grades. 3.0 in Math from Virginia Tech.

Basically I'm screwed?

Yes.

To break it down:

3.0: bad
Math: good
Virginia Tech: marginal
Not knowing what business Glocap is in: bad
Not having had a job since college: bad

PM me if you want more specific advice.

"real" job.

I'm sure my poker experience is infinitely better than most other candidates who worked some worthless out-of-college job, the trouble is conveying that to them. Maybe it is futile since HR will automatically shoot it down when they see it.

Now I know what Glocap is. Good.

My 3.0 is embarrassing, however. The worst part is that in college I never even tried at all. When I didn't like a class I put the least amount of effort into it possible just to get a B or a C. Most of my senior-level math classes were like that. When I really liked a class I worked hard at it and tried to get an A. Obviously I wish I could do it all over again. I would have switched to Finance, most likely. Nothing I can do now about it :/
