@OP don't be discouraged as opportunities are waiting for you. Just think Big and make yourself unique wherever you found yourself. I know someone that graduated with the same grade and his doing fantastically well at my work place. Be extraordinary. Cheers 2 Likes |

Olukokosir: This has even changed now, as a (2 pointer but above 2.5) you can still go straight to masters class without PGD, but only if you are not changing discipline, ie if you studied marketing and graduated with 2.978, you can proceed to masters in marketing, you will only go to PDG if you want to switch to say Accounting or Banking... 2 Likes 1 Share |

I used to be obsessed with grades buh an insight to what the labour market changed ma orientation...I haven't seen anyone tha graduated with a 2.1 at my place of work...it's either 2.2 or 3rd class and they are all doing fine... the real deal is develop yourself. Write professional exams... and develop a unique skill..than me later |

Joephat:Am not discouraging anyone. Am also a 2 2 graduate. Before I left university I applied to over 1000 companies but I only got a job with an NGO. I started my own business 2 months after graduation and it's thriving. Right now he should think out of the box because a paid job or a masters degree won't help him as he won't get into a top notch school with that grade. There's no use going to a rubbish university to do a masters degree. |
