My career path

It seems like I'm going to have a tough time reaching my career goals. I didn't realize the magnitude of how tough it would actually be. My ex-gf is a freshman in college, and she does some part-time work or helping out for a congressman. She might not be on the staff, but since she can afford the time to do volunteer work or an internship, she'll more than likely get some good job in the future. I decided to focus on school entirely. I've been without a job for 4 years to solely dedicate to school. I haven't even been getting the best grades. My GPA is about a 2.5. This is probably horrible. Most companies won't even look at me I presume. Since I haven't done well, and I need to take some more classes, I figure that I will finish college in a year. So for the next school year, I have to get whatever job or internship program I can get into for this summer. I need to more my resume more geared towards business. I might have to join the CIA or some other government organization if I can't find a job in the corporate sector that's going to get me to the executive level that I want.

Or, I can go the tougher way. I have no money at all, so this is going to be really tough and might put me on the line for very bad credit. Maybe, just maybe, I should forget about school and decide to open my own business for now and finish school later on once I get a couple of years business experience that way I can go into a corporate position then.

What do you guys think?
