Below is British undergraduate degree classification Nigeria is using First-class honours (1st, 1 or I) – typically 70% or higher Second-class honours, upper division (2:1, 2i or II-1) – typically 60–69% Second-class honours, lower division (2:2, 2ii or II-2) – typically 50–59% Third-class honours (3rd, 3 or III) – typically 40–49%
So 2.2 is now bad?

I graduated with a 2.2 in Biochemistry and I have worked in more than 5 multinationals including Maersk, Oracle, EMC, Reuters et al. While working at a Canadian company in Abuja I met a guy who graduated with Pass in Food Technology whom I groomed to becoming an IT Sales guru. Guess what? He worked with 2 local IT coys and he is at present working with a multinational IT coy earning $4000 monthly after tax.

Your grade is just a number if you don't believe in yourself!
Why are we on such thread if not to get the testimonies of those that will inspire us. Won't mind sending my CV please. hoping for a favorably response, thanks.

These things are relative. I graduated with a 3rd class in geology and never looked down on myself for a second. I have worked in an oil servicing company and 2 different media houses and earn what most nigerians would consider a very good salary. Thing is this, a lot of employers would offer you a job if ure confident, smart, look/ dress good, communicate effectively and ambitious. Develop urself and work on ur personality. Persona is everything.
that's good, please can you explain in details?

I have seen third class graduates that are doing better in life than 2.1 graduates. In the North, there are stark illiterates that are self made millionaires. Not all of us are born to work for others bro


That is very true

I'm not here to know who's richer or not. You work for an international organization and I work for a multinational.
You run a blog and I run a haulage company for extra pay. You are big in your own way and I am big in my own way. That's all. Can I rest now?
please o! I need a job, and i read chemical engineering. You help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You raised some excellent points!!

But the honest truth is that some organisations will not consider you for an aptitude test or interview if you make a 3rd class so you wont have the opportunity of showing how confident, smart, ambitious you are.

I am speaking from experience!!
You have spoken my mind. No one will tell us how they got the job with their 3rd or whatever. The truth is, getting requirement for any position is as getting good grade. Though, it may not totally be the yardstick but a way to be called for test or interview. Thanks for sharing your thought.
