Woop!

Now the real work begins!

Maccy · 15 Jun 2011 at 12:43

Think I've worked out that I'm going to graduate wiht a 2.1, very pleased!
Already had one interview which I passed last week, an assessment day in July and if I pass that then the job begins in September. However I also have an interview later this afternoon for a large online retailer working with their web system, I'm glad it's by no means a competitor though!

Got my 2:1 confirmed the other day in Information Technology, at the moment I'm aiming for a job in Brum which sounds like exactly what I want to do so fingers crossed.

great! you can now get a job in a call center or the co-op

LordSplodge · 15 Jun 2011 at 12:52

Those that got a first in a 'proper' degree get a pat on the back. The rest go to the Job Centre or McDonald's.

Troll? Or just an amazing human being.

iNPUt · 15 Jun 2011 at 13:07

I ended up with a 2:1 in Business Information Systems, doing data cabling and IT support work at the moment looking to get some experience in software development by creating 2 applications for a client I support a fair bit.

After the summer will try to get a proper job, if I get one so be it, if not I will do another ski season.

Would rather be at uni than getting shot up, personal preference maybe..

You may be God's gift to England, but you can't type worth crap. Go back to school.

Congrats guys

Bassmansam · 15 Jun 2011 at 13:13

Grammar is AWFUL^.

checjb · 15 Jun 2011 at 13:15

I've graduated twice. Admittedly both my degree and PhD were a while back but I'm always happy to jump om a self-congratulatory bandwagon.

Modular, good on you. Not a career path I'd be interested in but sounds like you've done well for yourself. Curious though that Alan Sugar usually has graduates on his TV show.

Feef · 15 Jun 2011 at 13:17

2:1 in Chinese from Edinburgh for me. Very happy with that, as I had to defer my finals for a year due to family circumstances, so not actually had any classes since March 2010. Graduating July 1st, then doing a CELTA course, then back off to China for a bit. That's about as far ahead as my planning gets, then see what happens

I did have a job offer from Sony Ericsson over there, but that was based on graduating last year, so I may try to pursue that again. See how it goes.

It is funny how you accuse students of being thick, yet can't string together a punctual sentence yourself. There are always exceptions to rules but if you looked at in depth statistics you will find that the majority of people who are University educated earn on average more than those who are not.

The Government is actually increasing University fee caps because they have slashed University funding and they need to re-coup their money from somewhere.

Tell me, who was your CO on tour? Oh that's right, a University educated Officer. Ho hum.
