Hey folks, I'm in my final year of an engineering degree at Strathclyde uni (so a fairly decent uni for engineers) and I am leaning towards the possibility of not achieving the 2.1 that I wanted 
I'm currently sitting on 58% - so 2% off a 2.1 however a couple classes this year have not gone to plan and so I dont think I can recover back to a good average. Anyway to my point, I haven't started looking for graduate jobs yet, want to take a year off. But when I do I'm a bit concerned that the majority of the graduate programs I have seen (for most disciplines not just engineering) all stipulate a minimum of a 2.1. I've yet to see a program that will accept 2.2's.
So basically where will a 2.2 take me apart from shelf stacking....?
