What should i do regarding my degree. please help?

Question

well I just graduated from university this summer.
unfortunately I graduated with the lowest grade possible (a third class degree)

I'm not dumb, but I'm just lazy and I never attended any of the lectures. My total attendance over the past 4 years has been 17%.

I never realised the importance of education untill a couple of weeks ago when it was too late.

Whenever people hear the grade I got they think that I am dumb. I don't want to go through the rest of my life with people believing that I am dumb.

So I wanted to know if I should start again and take another degree. The problem with that is that by time i finish a new degree i'll be almost 26. I'll feel uncomfortable going to university with all these young 18 byear olds. I also have ammassed debts through student loans (around 20 grand), so I can't keep taking out more student loans.

what should I do? Should I go back for 3 more years of a student life and no money. Or should I just get used to a life of low paid employment, and people thinking I'm stupid.

Answer 1

Get a job in USA. Grades are meaninless here. Probably because they're all bad.

Answer 2

I'm sorry that u learned the importance of attendance a little to late.
If your under the age of 25 you can do a modern Appenticship that way you won't have to pay tutions fee which have gone up to 3 grand and you'll still get a qualification after. i don't reconmend u take all 3 years over again because of the money and the fact that u didn't attend before probably means that u were not to keen on study anyway, but if you can repeat the last year then maybe that is an option for u. speak to the admission people and your course tutors at your university and see what u can do.
if you can't get back into uni then your next option would be to work hard and work your way to the top it can be done.
i wish you all the luck in the future and really hope u make something of yourself.

You haven't said what you qualified in but that's irrelevant anyway. You should not feel so bad about gng back to uni at such a young age. Many of my work colleagues including myself went on to further education ie HNC/D Degree level in their 30's and 40's. You are never too young or old to learn. At the end of the day it is your decision what to do with your qualification, but as you said you were a little lazy. Maybe take a year out, work for a year and then go back to uni and I am sure you will get the grade you want. Good luck!!

Answer 4

I can beat that, I graduated with unclassfied honours.

Look for a graduae recruitment jobs where they offer full training. I was very analytical so took my engineering degree and went to work in IT as they offered full training. Within 6 years I was holding down a senior position in the organisation, travelling the world and makeing a very healthy salary from this blue chip company. I then left to start my own business when I hit 30.

So its not the end of the world as you've still got a leg up on those plebs that never went to University.

Answer 5

you should have told me what degree you earned. that would help. any ways here is my true story. i graduated from a respectable accounting college. i have a 2.343 gpa. the knowledge that you have earned is what counts. how are you inan interview? my car broke down 67 times. i fixed it 66 times. i also bought 4 cars in three years. i had no time to study due to financial crises. the companies that say they don't hire due to gpa, won't hire due to gpa. go ahead and sudy up for an mba. try to get on at a company that only hires through temp agencies. the time right after graduation is hard because everyone needs a job. if i was you, i would pick any company that will pay for more schooling. then get going. once you have the credentials, then you will get hired. you just have to keep trying. listen to my advice only. everyone else will just cloud your mind and confuse you. you are not stupid. my new employer likes talking to me everyday. my friends are all more qualified because they are older and have more skills and gpa. none of them could get hired on because they refused to work at the temp agency first. they all have better jobs than me, but they probably will never work for this company that they desire so much for.

Answer 6

Don't go back to school. Come to Atlanta, Georgia, USA. With your accent, people will think you are the smartest guy ever and you can get a great paying job. Also, you're not dumb. At least you realize the importance of an education...and you have that.

Answer 7

take a module.find out if the course is want you want,do it part time
whilst working to pay your fees.that way when you attain your goal it will be all the sweeter,you will have worked for it the impetus will give you drive to go and use it in your chosen feild. or get a job as a trolly pusher, and stop whingeing.
i was 45 before i had the chance to get my degrees, not one but three, all in specialised fields of my chosen career. at 26 you are still young enough to not only get a different degree but a MA.

Answer 8

in case you look from a perspective of a profession substitute or arising a profession then a commonplace MBA might help. 2-thirds of the human beings in the U. S. do MBA by distance coaching or section-time and so i does not evaluate it a waste. Distance MBA is clever for those that're already working and have important artwork journey. In such cases, because of the fact that they can't have adequate money to do finished-time MBA, a distance application supplies them of project to augment their profession opportunities in the organisation they are at present working. in actuality many companies inspire human beings to absorb distance or section-time MBA in the previous the staff can evaluate a function substitute.

Answer 9
