whyteteeth: If drop outs are running the world , Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg e.t.c then you can do or be anything you want with a 3rd class. Some of those drop outs have gone on to be visiting lecturers, graduation commencement speakers and honorary degree holders. Just focus on and boost your own internal CGPA. 1 Like |

I graduated with a 2.1 but started learning how to code in my University days just by reading programing books and practicing. My company have never requested from my grade of degree and I have both local and International experience. Also worked with some of the best IT companies in the world. So just maintain your focus and work hard. Paper sometimes doesn't define our destiny 4 Likes 1 Share |

You can apply for masters in some select universities in the UK, that is if you want to do a post graduate degree. Do your findings on schools who have their minimum requirements set to a 3rd. I think UCLAN, and the uni at Bolton are amongst them. All the best. |

Either of two things: 1) you should accept it as a failure and end up as an Uber driver/private school teacher or 2) you fire up and become the likes of Prof Wole Soyinka, the sage- Gani Fahinmi, Aliko Dangote etc. Either way, the choice is your's. 1 Like |

alamin0506:Thumbs up. Late Professor Olasehinde was a 3rd class graduate, he did his Pgd in Israel and he did well for himself to become a renowned professor of Geophysics in Nigeria. 3rd class or 4th class, what matters is what you can offer to your employers' upgrading via whatever services you can render. Empirically, many first class and 2.2 are good at passing exams than applying what they got A for in real life, some are very good with studying but oblivion of the application of what they were thought. How would one explain a first class Electrical student that couldn't fix 'just 100W bulb? How would you understand a first class Animal production and Health graduate that can't even carry a chick ? What actually matters is what you can offer to the public and/or your employer. These days, if you're smart enough during your interview, you stand a chance of making your interviewer question how you had 3rd class with your smartness. 3 Likes |

Third class is just a grade. You can do so much more working as a career person and as entrepreneur. The degree cannot stop you from achieving your dreams. I graduated with a third class but not doing bad ( junior management). My last salary increase 3 months ago was 100k+ I don't know anybody in all the firms I have worked. Entry level would be difficult at first but just get more skills and certification, Later your experience and skills would make you stand out by given you the needed advantage. Being an entrepreneur is Cool, give it the very best. have a plan and work your plan, Know your onion and nations would come to you. My 1 cent 2 Likes |

I'd advise you a 3rd class graduate to never try to find a job because it seem he's not really passionate about education. Try to find what you're passionate about and make a job out of it. It's the only way to escape the misery that comes with having a job and life as whole. Just try everything. This advice isn't for just third class graduate but for everybody.

1. It will interest you to know that Nigeria ‘system’ does not have respect for your grade or course of study; I am not sure if 20% of graduates each year lands with job; good or average earning. 2. In my view many 3rd class students ends with ‘first class life’ cos they mostly resolve into self development and creating their own world, that in a case does not devalue academic excellence. 3. Back to your question it all depends on individual goals and aspirations. And/ or individual definition of life and success. Lecturing is just ‘one out of a hundred thousand jobs across d globe.. 4. While earning a second degree is an option doing it abroad will be preferred |

You have something more than that result. You have your mind which gives you the ability to think and be creative. Think of a way to create jobs by adding value to the society and let the A student come work for you. |

xProfx: I agree. In addition, there are people that are superbly intelligent but do not know how to pass exams. When you apply to harvard or oxford they look at grades and then will invite you for an interview. Through this personal assessment they have ended up securing scholars who looked very poor and inadmissible on paper. nigeria does not place value on talents. Therefore our focus is totally on paper. The result is we hire people who can pass exams but are poor in critical thinking. 1 Like |

OP, i laughed at your analysis o. I knew of a university lecturer with 3rd class first degree and currently a Ph.D holder. Once u are called a Doctor, no one care the class of degree u graduated with. What you need to do is to further your studies to at least a master degree level, believe in yourself, be connected and be prayerful. |
