Should I care about GPA still?

Last semester of senior year, job lined up, 3.5 GPA and taking a heavy/difficult courseload. I have little motivation but I know I could bump my GPA up to 3.6 if I tried. Is there any point to maintaining my GPA? I've heard that at some point you stop listing it on your resume anyway. I guess the only purpose it would serve is if I wanted to do an MBA down the line, but I'm unsure whether I want to in the future.

Better put in minimal effort and keep your grades from slipping, at the very least, instead of tanking your GPA and having it come back and bite you later on.
