A 2-1 or 2-2 will not help you know how to work with clients too.
It has to do with how well rounded the individual is.
Making it sound like it is a mutually exclusive relationship that exists between a first class degree and honing inter-personal relationship skill is just wrong.
Infact, it takes high cognitive ability to be to adapt and relate with people on their own respective levels.
First class holders who lack such skills have a personal character flaw. A flaw which has been found to be present in holders of other classes of degree be it 2-1 or 2-2.
It is a character flaw that can be corrected. And generalizing it is just stupidd.

JackBizzle:
You are saying the truth but missing the point.


The first class is useless where book intelligence does not matter.

All grades are equal in such jobs

CSTR13:
You make it sound like being a first class is just being book smart. That is a common error.
Getting a first class means your have an overall mental capacity far above your average colleagues with all due respect.
A genuine first class holder with a first class brain and with no significant character flaw would do any job and outperform his/her colleagues.
Every job just require basic intelligence that would empower us to do much more productive work in far less time and with greater ease. That is basically what the employer wants.
And a first class student spent all his time in school doing much greater work in less time and with more accuracy. He already has the tools to excel in whatever. It is a question of re-directing it.

Really? Then show me a first class billionaire.

CSTR13:
The current heads of exxon mobil and Goldmann sacchs graduated with outstanding academic results.
Zuckerbag and even bill gates may have dropped out of college, but they are genuises with first class brains.
Many of the rich programmers, engineers and IT experts worth billions of dollars for creating apps, antivirus softwares or whatever are just curious nerds equivalent to what you call a first class here.
The likes of steve jobs, steve wozniacki, e.t.c are book smart gurus.
Nigeria though is a different kettle of fish.

BUT DID ANY OF THE PEOPLE YOU MENTIONED GRADUATE WITH FIRST CLASS?


ot maybe you think I do not know people you mentioned?

CSTR13:
There is nothing like first class degree where they come from.
They use classifications like summa cum laude and magma cum laude.

JackBizzle:



You didn't find a first class billionaire in Nigeria. Cool.

You didn't mention if the Americans you name dropped graduated with Magna cums laude

In fact, the Bill Gates we all know didn't finish from university.

Neither did Zuckerberg.

lawrenzi:
Most first class student end up becoming Lecturers... and you know what it means to be a lecturer in Nigeria?
I wish the class of degree also determine your level of wealth.
But If you can have a first Class in street school, you are more successful than having a first class in our conventional university...
Graduates from street school drive this.

CSTR13:
There are first class billionaires especially in the oil sector. Maybe not as stupendously rich as the criminals we all know.
Bill gates dropped out but he had a genius mind. His dropping was not a function of an intellectual inadequacy or not being book-smart, but that of the system failing to catch up to his own.

AntiWailer:
No downside stop encouraging mediocrity.

I give first class materials priority.


I have 3 of them in my team.


If you can have it, just do.

1, More will be expected of you at interviews.

2, If you did not do well in a job test, it will be the headline when an HR Manager is interviewed: “First Class Graduates Fail NNPC Test” blabla.

3, People expect you to know everything in your field, forgetting you had a first class only in your first degree, it doesn’t make you a professor yet!



4, You will be expected to know everything , even outside your field, beyond basics. In fact, they will tell you they’ve seen a First Class Accounting graduate that cannot build a car!

5, The number of first class applicants for jobs will always be a headline (like the FIRS job news, which inspired this post, anyway).

6, The entrepreneurship noise makers expect every first class to be self-employed or be an entrepreneur, otherwise, they’re corporate slaves.

7, You must be rich. They will use you as example of their friend that made first class and is not rich. They will ask you which grade Dangote made. It doesn’t matter to them that not everyone is motivated by money.

Who first class ep. Dragging My 2.2 jare. After all no be first class be competence. Its a good thing to be viewed as an outstanding Individual but I assure you Intellect is not Judged by grade. This is A country where you are short changed,your marks downgraded by Some lecturer because his own lecturer did the same to him. It creates a hate cycle. The system is rotten.
