It's becoming a disturbing trend how people talk down on first class and 2:1 graduates just to justify their own lesser grades. What is even more disturbing is the OP's conclusion that 2:1 graduates will end up "at most" as CEOs in companies set up by 2:2 students. Nothing is farther from the truth if you ask me, and I seriously pity undergraduates who would read this and see it as an encouragement to become less aggressive with their studies. As a matter of fact, if this post encourages you at all then you really need to start re-evaluating your life.

Your encouragement as a 2:2 graduate should NOT come from the half-truth that 1st class and 2:1 graduates don't deserve their grades and barely measure up intellectually. They paid their dues, whatever it was. If they end up not successful in life, it is not because they had a first class or 2:1, in fact they might have been worse off with a 2:2. So my dear 2:2 graduates, your drive should be the desire to prove to yourself that you're better than what your grade says about you, not that people with better grades would most likely end up miserable.

OP Stop deceiving yourself. I can see envy in the write up unlike the former topic. May I remind you that it is not the intelligent one that comes first in class rather it's the person who comes first that is regarded as intelligent.

I believe I know why companies take 2.1 and first class graduates only. It's because it takes a book smart and street smart person to make either grades. School isn't only about reading and writing exams.

It's only a smart person that'll know he didn't write an exam well and try to meet lecturer to change things instead of staying idle and keep praying for luck

It's only a smart person that'll know he didn't read for an exam and bring a mercenary to the exam hall instead of coming with empty skull and hoping on luck

It's only a smart person that will know he doesn't know what to write and bring "microchips" into the exam hall to aid his brain

I can go on and on but the fact is that people who graduated with 2.1 and first class planned for it smartly. That is why companies prefer them because they don't need a book worm rather they need employees that can always improvise, think outside the box and equally have problem solving skills.

This 1st class, 2.1, 2.2 dichotomy should stop bikonu. Na unemployment cause all this yeye argument, after all in a saner society a university graduate is suitable for employment in any situation and position that best suits his performance. Whether 1st class or 3rd class just be good enough to compete with ur peers any-day, any-time and the sky will be ur nadir.

I don't know if I should be saying this but having seen both the "Sorrow of 2:2 graduates" and "Joy of 2:2 graduates" write-ups, I have come to a reasonable conclusion that 2:2 graduates have personal beef with Mr Paragraph.

Desdemona:


You couldn't have said it any better. All I see in this post is envy and subtle consolation. I'm sure the OP tried really hard to graduate with a 2:1. No biggie if you couldn't make it; after all, a 2:2 grade doesn't make one less of a person. There are many First Class individuals who are geniuses in their fields. So stop hating! I met a First Class guy who left a big paying job to pursue his dream of being a lecturer with smaller pay (of course!).

So my dear OP, if you think you're doing better than your 2:1 counterparts because of your lesser grade, you're definitely wrong. Anyone can have a drive regardless of what their result says.

iamCEO:

Honestly, i'd expected your write up to justify your topic (claim, point or whichever way you put it), but it didn't.

It's very wrong of you, a lawyer for that matter, to say, "i am concerned with passing my message..." and that should be a good excuse for you to ignore the rules of writing. You should know, if you do not..., that proper paragraphing helps your readers understand you better.

Kindly take dressing and be properly guided.

Your concerned reader
