Study your current situation and use the experiences of those that graduated before you as a learning curve. In a country where 70% of all new graduates are unemployed or underemployed, you already put yourself at a disadvantage by having a 2.2. Now you should be thinking ahead, Masters or Entrepreneurship, always stay 1 or 2 steps ahead of the competition, 24 hrs in a day, if you can't use 3 to 4 hours per day to better yourself then you'll just keep going in circles. 4 Likes |

Just do Masters from a reputable university abroad and your 2.2 will be ignored. Many countries offer tuition free education. Studying abroad doesn't have to be expensive. 1 Like |

The only bad thing is graduating with 2:2 and at the same time not having sense. I mean, not realizing you have less opportunities than your 2:1 and first class counterparts and not working to improve on your skills. The moment you tell yourself the truth and stop looking for consolation or hope, that’s when you start progressing. When I graduated, I knew it’ll be a stiff competition so I channeled all my energy towards advancing my programming skills. Barely one year after my service, I have landed myself so many offers with top IT companies in the country with mouth watery pay. Most of my classmates with better results are still writing aptitude tests here and there while I’m gainfully employed and still work on side projects as a freelancer. Look at your degree as a piece of art and get your hands dirty! 10 Likes |

2.2 is not a bad Grade for a graduate i must say,although there are some high paying jobs that requires you get a minimum of 2.1 an example is some Nigerian Banks and Big Audit firms.I think as a graduate what you have graduated with cant be changed what you can influence is your professional life,try and look for a professional exams that is in line with your chosen field and go for it,would be employers these days look for how well you have improved and invested on yourself. I graduated with a 2.1 from Unilorin and these has not really given me any added advantage but i went on to enroll for ICAN and am now an Assiciate Chartered Accountant,this has added more value to me than the so called 2.1. For undergraduates strike hard to get a 2.1 so you can take advantage of opportunites coming from oil firms,Big audit firms(KPMG,PWC etc) and banks. 8 Likes |

It's OK. Second class lower division is atleast better than third class . Grade should not define you, equip yourself with skills. Modern skills. |

Even 2:2 get category. I didn't know this until I applied for an M.Sc. program. With anything below 3.0, you can't go for an M.Sc. or M.A. directly, atleast here in Nigeria. kamtrix: 2 Likes |

If 2.2 grade wanna make you sad or worry about yourself... get an eraser, erase the 2 out and replace it with 1. Order a bottle of beer, drink and celebrate. life's too short to worry over grade. Get yourself some skill or certification... and you'll be glad you had 2.2 2 Likes |

Having a 2.2 means you have a balanced life; you're both sociable as well as intelligent. Anything above 2.2 is too booky and less sociable, but below 2.2...well, read between the lines... ![]() ![]() Meanwhile... Are you a teacher?

2.2 is an average grade but in the Nigerian context is a big limitation when applying for many GT jobs. Don't let it limit you though, develop yourself in other ways (certifications/skills etc). To undergraduates, FACE your studies and avoid any form of "Had I known". 5 Likes |

It's not a bad grade. Its just that u won't be able to get into graduate trainee programs of big 4's( PWC, KPMG, Delloitte and Ernest and young), banks and some big organizations who insist on 2.1 for their graduate trainee program. However, there's more to this life than working getting into graduate trainee of those aforementioned companies. If u get into some other companies and excel, those aforementioned companies will call u for a chat as an experienced hire and u will get better offer and pay. ![]() 5 Likes 1 Share |

kamtrix:it's a shame. The money your community spent to send u to school has been wasted. You and I know that the labour market is literally filled up with graduates and even those with a 2:1 find it hard to even get employment and you're here asking for opportunities for a 2:2. What made u not to be serious with school? Now that girl has left u and see your life for outside now Hahahhahaa Better go and learn work my friend. 3 Likes |

Generally, 2.2 is not a bad grade. I have some friends who get scholarships for Masters abroad with 2.2. Most of them have PhD now. The question I always ask myself is, did I give all. If I could satisfy my conscience that I gave all but circumstances beyond my control caused me to be 3rd best, then I will be good. 4 Likes |

kamtrix:It depends on the society and your own situation. In our society 2.2 is not a good grade because those with better grades can't even find a job. Your case might be different if you know people. This is not a good grade to use to look for job in Nigeria. It is not a bad grade if you are going to business. If you want to work for yourself. Note: life reality is beyond classroom settings. Having 2.2 doesn't mean you are not smart. Many people don't go to school but they still make it in real world. 1 Like |

Do not let 2.2 weigh you down or define your future. If you want to be a career person then I suggest you go for a master program of your choice. Another option is, take short courses online and build yourself if you are looking to pursue a different experience. |
