GPA VS Passing

I'm currently in college finishing my 2nd year in a 3 year advance diploma computer programming and analysts program.

Ever since i was young passing has been my main priority. In my program I've had some up and down moments especially with learning so many different languages all at once and without getting a hold of one language fully we move to another, so it hasn't been easy on me in that regards and my marks are all up and down.

I'm a bit worried tbh with some of my marks and wondering if my GPA will play a big part in finding a job once I'm done. Especially considering a lot of people I know i co-op are finding it a little hard finding a placement to work in.

I've decided myself that I want to aim to be a front end web developers, so I'm working a little on the side with my HTML/CSS here.

My curse does have a degree joint program with a University were I live i assume my GPA will have a part in that to play. I wanted to ask some of those who work out there, about this, will the GPA play a bigger factor? Would you recommend I go back and maybe bring my grades up a little more?
