you are still getting the wrong. Your pedigree is not a prerequisite for success in most cases. Failure is not an end. It's an opportunity for you to see where you got it wrong, work on it and be successful. Rich people fail, strong businesses fail but when they are termed as "failure" is when they don't get back up. Stop allowing your sentiments affect your thinking and judgements. You are worst than a failure if you are critic about one's failure with your sordid reasons.

Empero1:


Only foolish people sees "aberrant failure" as a sign of ignorant. The wise people sees it as a step toward perfection.

Meanwhile, on the main subject under discussion, OP you have made salient points. However, the major reason most employers limits their vacancy advertisements to 2.1 is usually to save them time, since three are too many formally "assumed educated" graduates out there looking for the same limited opportunity(s).

In truth, true quantification of an educated person shouldn't be based on what's witty in a peice of paper, rather it should be based on the person's aptitude performance at a given time.

Well, if you have a concrete knowledge on any meaningful art (thing) that has a global potential and guaranteed good ROI, send me a PM and a detailed proposal. Maybe we can work something out, if you have the zeal to work in a well structured corporation as a departmental leader.

princedami:


But I heard that someone with a 2.2 can't do Msc directly that he/she has to do PGD->MSC->PHD... I don't get it. Can you say something about that?

Lol ur post is very First class Abi,what a shame no wonder this nation will not grow,so first class will solve solutions faster

shiftback:
I didn't graduate with a first class, but if I did I would still forget most of what I studied years later, same thing would still happen with other grades too.
Excellent grades will get your foot in the door, but people skill will help you in all aspects of life.
You don't need a to be a straight A student to do what you want in life.

When you get a job nobody says "oh look, he isn't smart he graduated with a(insert any low grade here)" what they care about is how well you do the job.

A very very smart man once said "education is what remains after you must've forgotten what you learned in school"
I am glad I didn't let schooling interfere with my education.

Osgilliat:
Corruption has eaten deep in every sector.. Because I didn't follow the band wagon of paying for grades I found myself where I don't want to be 2.2. And since then I have lost interest in furthering the yeye education and now I'm making money that even someone in the bank sector with first class and a lot of working hours can't make.
Don't let that grade deceive you. You are better than that.. White collar job is over rated in Nigeria, some people just like the idea of putting on the slavery suits everyday saying they are going to office just for going sake, while you can put on your jeans and shirt and still make your money.whenever I go to bank.. I always see the staffs there as corporate slaves in suits disguise.

martineverest:
op,y are you crying?....if u were serious,u would have graduated with second class upper......this is d cry of 2.2 graduates:they claim that they are highly intelligent(which could be true),but they wont tell u how they were unserious during their university days.

witorwitoutyou:
So Kiwa ni ka se si






Awa la ni ko ya olodo ni,well just joking anyways..like I av always said,its not written in any scriptures(Quran or bible) dt one success is attached to d grade u come out with.Oto ni iwe,Oto ni owo...Dey re two diff tins


I av a guy with 1stclass in engineering,searched for job almost 3years,yet no job,went further for his Msc,cane out with 1st class again,yet Notin uptil now,though we re still hopin for better days,to cut d story short,if it were to b grade,My padi suppose don get job tey tey




The moral of d story,try ur best and seek God's favour to crown ur effort.Dts all

Misskaycee21:
Well Op u have a point its not easy. But why do we have to blame one thing or the other for our predicaments. Una go dey claim say 2.2 better pass first class.
I personally in my 200L i messed up big time... and then i realised i had to sit up. As at 300L i was still in 2.2 and i made up my mind to jack up.
I read lik a fool, morning and night, sleepless nights.
And today i can say i thank God and i made a 2.1
3.57

if we worked, we go reach 2.1
We dont hav to blame anybody

nnamdi1993:
i wld give both a platform to show case wat dey have n pick d best rather dan branded d other a failure

UuzbaGuuzba:


How will you advertise for the position? Because once the 2-2 guy knows he has a chance for that job, all the other 2-2 people in Nigeria - 500,000 will also email you their CVs.?
This is considering you have managed to successfully select out the First Class people from 200,000 or so.

nnamdi1993:
my dear if u read wel,i didnt blame anyone...understand me some pple are not favoured. U wer lucky cus some people read like mad men n still didnt make it. Dont tink it was by ur power

nnamdi1993:
my dear dats y we av outsourcing companies,let dem worry about dat.

ijobawise:
.............hmm first class in M.Sc.............boss na yhu ooooooooooo..wia did dey gv first class in masters degree...smh for yhu

UuzbaGuuzba:


There are other major reasons why Nigeria will not grow.
1. We don't really have any tangible reason to live and work together. A Boundary was just drawn around a land

bayulll011:

U try

UuzbaGuuzba:


If one reads English for Maths Exam, the person will fail. It is not by Reading Well-well. It is by reading and learning what is spefically required for the First class.

If a First class person was sat beside you and you both were given the same exam questions, he will complete more answers than you. If you asked him how he knows all this answers, he will say he read it in this or that book or hand out.

Question: Did you read the books and handouts that he read? If you were reading different set of materials how do you expect to pass this one specific exam? What were you reading when he was reading his own materials? And HOW did he know WHICH materials to read and WHERE to find them?

This is the mistake 2-2 people make. They start off by dissociating themselves from First class people. Then they are unconnected and lost. They read a lot of irrelevant material. And cannot answer JUST what is required for the PARTICULAR exam.

nnamdi1993:
its he who wears d shoes dat knws wer its painin him...like i said in d topic a friend once sat wit me during matrix exam i rili helped hm dat day,he got a B i got an E. If u had read all does tin u read and eventually came out wit a 2.2 ,am nt sure u wld b saying dis bt bliv me or not,many 2:2 grads didnt make 2;1 nt cus dey aint reading d right material or aint serious, some times some pple wer nt lucky
