Honestly, I am at my wit's end trying to work out what to do now. Basically, I got a 2.2 in my Economics degree and finding it nigh on impossible to get a job. Before you say, your fault for getting a 2.2, I know it is, I didn't enjoy uni and wasn't very happy and found it incredibly difficult to live with my housemates who were very disrespectful and I kind of let them drag me down, rest of them either dropped out or got 2.2's and joined the army, went abroad etc.
Anyway, I got decent A levels, A in Maths and decent GCSE's, and I seem to have the UCAS points. Obviously Economics is a pretty challenging course and first time round, I found it difficult to apply myself due to everything. But I was thinking of perhaps doing something a bit easier but also applying myself like Business as it seems silly to do the same degree.
I have been trying to get ACA accounting trainee positions and think I could pass, even though it would be tough. I know a lot of people who are older and got 2.2's and are successful but obv in this current job climate, its incredibly difficult.
I am 25 now and graduated in 2008 and have been getting various admin office contracts since without being able to do the ACA. I was wondering if perhaps I should start the exams myself? But that would be even worse if I did the exams and still couldnt get a job, spending 5k in the process. Also, I took CISI banking/stockbroking exams and passed them for 2k and couldn't get a job in that. Obviously you generally need a 2.1 to get on to Masters.
I'm just losing my mind as am currently unemployed after finishing last contract a few weeks ago and literally unable to sleep due to my regrets from uni and worrying about the future. Cheers for any advice
