My older brother went to Gloucestershire university to study public relations and is expecting a 2:2/2:1. Neither is an amazing University or degree. He isn't that most academically able in the whole world but he gets involved in so much. He has a pretty big blogging website, has worked in radio, promoted websites, magazines etc... he beat odds of 1/53 in getting an internship at Microsoft and is now applying for graduate schemes and getting many interviews.
My Uncle got a 2:2 and is now head of pricing for the largest advertising company in the world. He is a millionaire.
