I've read the book based on a recommendation from a friend who works for a top investment bank and found it to be a fun read.
Monkey Business: Swinging Through Wall Street is pretty humorous. It was written by two guys in the early to mid 2000s after they burned out on the street.
Hey, I really relate to your feelings, I messed up my college degree (picked wrong field). But GPA isn't everything. If anything, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable working at a place that values GPA more than actual skills.
You seem to be interested in career in finances. I once was too. I think one should be very careful, since that people in that field love creating beautiful facades to hide the ugliness of the industry behind. I highly suggest reading a book [Monkey Business: Swinging Through the Wall Street Jungle] (https://www.amazon.com/Monkey-Business-Swinging-Through-Street/dp/0446676950), it really opened my eyes.
