So by now, everyone doing an undergraduate degree would have finished by now and many would have got their degree classification!

What is everyone doing?

Personally I got a First Class with Honours (no boasting ) and have gone straight into a job. For any of you that remember, it's actually the same job I took part-time when I was at Uni - they've kept me on full time shortish term at the moment, to see if I can achieve the targets and actually make the company some money, otherwise they will have to let me go as things are tight.

Who has been as fortunate as me to fall straight into a job? What did you get for your degree?



EDIT: I managed to find the thread I started asking for advice when I saw the part-time job advertised - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=397473

Not any more first pay packet at the end of this month - I'm on minimum wage though after offering to reduce my pay from £7/hour when people were made redundant. Still, I love the job and it'll be more money at the end of the month than I've ever had!

Only got a 2:2(Hons) but thats pretty good considering the effort I put in in 3rd year, I lost all motivation for it. Im still at Tesco, looking for a full time job locally, not going for graduate positions as there isnt anything around here (Lincoln), they are all based in London, and I dont want to afford to live there.

Dont get too happy, everyone gets great marks in their first year - its how they make you come back and spend more stupid money on the second year.

I didn't, only needed 40% to progress to the next year and it has no effect on your end grade, think i got about 42%. Didn't set me up for year 2 very good though.

I finished this year (1st, get in!!) and have gone back to the company that took me on for my placement year. I'm currently a project engineer there working on process projects, like food factories, breweries and the like....
