You don't indicate if you are looking for a PhD in Hong Kong or the US. In general I would say the changes of getting into a PhD program with a 2.5 GPA are very remote. 3.0 is generally considered the minimum and realistically a 3.5 is the true mean. Now taking a different MA (especially in psychology) and doing well in this (e.g. getting above a 3.5 GPA) would probably help - you don't indicate what your BA GPA was. If you do this, you should understand WHY you got a 2.5 GPA and what you can do to avoid the same problems in your second MA. As for a good job - provided you are skilled and talented you should be able to get a good job with a PhD. DA
