Due to some mental and physical issues in the past, I have ended up with a terrible GPA. Prior to the last semester, I had a 1.8. This semester, I managed to get a 3.5, which is ok, but now my GPA is only 2.2. I feel like my most recent semester's GPA shows that I am a decent student, especially as the previous semester I had tried to complete was Spring of 2016.

However, I feel like my GPA is going to scare any potential employer or summer program away. Because of registration issues, I've only been able to complete 1 class in my Economics major (back when I started college in Fall 2012). I don't feel like I'm competitive for anything. Should I suck it up and do an unpaid internship? I'm willing to do anything that would help me obtain gainful employment by the time I graduate. It doesn't matter how much it costs; finances aren't a problem for me thankfully.

EDIT: I have to add, I'm not a STEM major and I didn't fail my classes because they were too hard or anything like that. Right now I don't have many tangible skills.
