Get a lower level job and work your way up.
Do another undergraduate degree
Masters at the likes of Sunderland
Get a dead end job until the economy recovers then try getting a graduate job
Some false advice been given here, and a distortion of the truth. Can i assume most of the replies here are graduates and not the typing keys of a 14 year old?
2:2 is not the end of the world, but then again if you have friends who also got 2:2 then find out what they did after uni. You have to work with what you got and not what you wished you had. Life is fall of unexpected turns twists, so take it on the chin. Get a job in a company and work your way up, sucks i know, but then reality mostly sucks. Don't let these hierarchical orientated people pull you down, miserable people love to make other people miserable.
I got a 2:2. Some of my friends did, one is a teacher now and one was working in a library, now as a healthcare assistant.
I had an interview today to be an adviser in a college, also had three admin interviews (two with council, one NHS).
You have more options than many people assume with a 2:2
I got a 2.2 in my degree and went on to do a masters. Worked my ass off for the year and ended up with a Distinction
My advice would be to persevere and dont let a 2.2 get you down!
You can re-sit years one and two but your third year is final. I'm pretty sure you can only resit the final year if you fail it and then your marks are capped at a 40 meaning achieving over a third is impossible.
While I have no idea how re-sits work at uni, I am certain that the final year is called that because it's the last of 3 years, not because you can't re-take it (even if you can't). It's kind of like saying the 2nd year is so named because you're allowed a second stab at it...
I got a 2:2, I'm now an Oilfield Engineer, other of my friends who graduated with 2:2 are variously, coding for the NHS, on a masters, working for an IT firm, an engineer for the DSTL.
It's not the end of the world. Many companies employ those with 2:2's.
but why start a new thread when the question of resitting uni exams is quite relevant to this thread?
Not really, it would take someone with an ordinary degree to not know if they could resit papers. Its like a fire fighter asking what to do if an oil tanker has set on fire and a police officer suggests blowing it out.
Wow, the whole thing is so depressing. I got rejected from all the unis I applied to last year despite being predicted AAA, which was pretty rubbish, but now I'm applying again and have been assuming that my hardships are over and once I get into somewhere I want to go, that's it; I'll get a great degree, and the world will be my oyster.
It's all rather deceptive, and before they go, most people think they're going to breeze through uni and just drift into some wonderful career after they've got a degree, but it really isn't so, it seems.
