I think phil is worried that he's getting a 2.2 and gonna be seen as thick.

he's gonna be seen a thick whether he gets a 2.2 or not - he's done philosophy

he'll get a 1st from the University of MSE (Martin's school of economics) anyway.

I dunno - I did next to no work and got a 2:1 from a prestigous university, maybe that has swayed my opinions but I believe either you were vvv unlucky/had really outstanding personal circumstances or didn't really work. Friends of mine at uni who weren't the sharpest managed to get 2:1's by sheer hard work and perseverance.

Saying that though (personal circumstances) I've had friends who have ahd major berievements (parents dying) and still managed to get 2:1's - going through life making excuses and kicking up a stink to try explain why your performance is poor isn't going to get you very far in the real world.

If it is that easy then the system fails people who they don't give a 2.1 or first to.

I just am standing up for the OP that their award is worthy and that all these comments about people with less than a 2.1 are wasters need rejecting.

Right :rolleyes:
I don't think you've got the hang of this education thing have you?


To the OP: I think it depends on what type of jobs you are applying for. In jobs related to science there is such a shortage that some employers are recruiting at lower grades. You may have to start on a slightly lower salary, but it's a foot in the door.
