Is a 2:1 considered a bad grade?

I'm not sure which websites you've been reading exactly on this topic but, afaik, a 2.1 degree is what most Oxford students come out with. So hardly a 'D' grade! It'd be a great result if you get it and will receive due respect from employers
Since you're not aiming to have a career in law, I wouldn't worry about not being on track for a First (Though I don't know enough about legal careers to know whether a First would be necessary, even if you *were* going down those tracks )

I'm not aiming to have a career in law but I'm also not aiming to stock shelves my whole life lol

I got a first and currently work in a supermarket. Have some fun and get a 2:2

I never said you were aiming to, or should/would need to, stock shelves your whole life! Like I said, I have a 2.2. I've never stocked a shelf in my life (not that either of us should be snobby about supermarket workers)
A 2.1 is a very good degree. I imagine the people writing on whichever websites you have no idea or imagination regarding what it takes to get a 2.1 from a uni like Oxford. Hardly a walk in the park, or a 'D' grade. I wouldn't worry about what clueless people think
If you don't believe me, or others who may post on here, do talk about your concerns to your college tutors and/or the Careers Service

A 2.1 is not a duff outcome. You only need a First if you are aiming at an academic career or hope to practise at one of the most glittering chambers at the London Bar.
