I did, went back finished, scored in the 96% in GMATS went to Bschool, got the entry jobs due to people i met at school, and additional jobs due to performance and hard work, and am doing just fine.

This myth of 2.5 means you don't get a good job career IS BS. I do recognize that it matters when some companies are looking to do on campus interviewing. IE Proctor & Gamble only looks at Bschool students with a 3.5 or higher an only from some schools.

Just like Fidelity only looks to top 5 B schools for their FMR organization.

Work hard, have a balanced life!
