You can write a bad reference if you can justify it.

*gets worried about always coming into work at 9:30

I might start coming in at 8, and try adjusting my body clock like everybody else.

you would hope your employer cares more about the results you produce rather than the time you roll into work. Depends on the job though I guess.

DITTO!

it's so true you will rarely get asked.

I guess you feel a little dissapointed right now but in time you will feel proud, relaxed and happy with it all.

Think about all those people who dropped out I bet you could think of a more than few.
You made it well done it's a great feeling. Graduation day is wonderful, bit like cottage cheese with chutney!

You're still being defeatist about this! I was lucky in that I gt a 2:1 from a top ten university in one of the most difficult degrees you can do. However, I also entered into an industry that unless you have a PhD you're likely to move forward in a research capacity, along with being in an industry that relies heavily on what you know and experience.

It doesn't matter where you're headed in life, you still have to take what you've been awarded in terms of education and life skills and use them to your advantage while trying to learn new skills in the job that you get.

Remember that nothing is permanent and you can take a book from Benny's library of work related tragedy - go get a job get what you can from it and then move on after a year or so.

the girl next to my has a chart for how often i get in before 9. 1 more star and i get a cookie!

i got a shitty job for 6 months, and then used that as a stepping stone to something better.

*has only been in the rat race for less than a year :S


also i got my desmond from a red brick uni, so perhaps that counts for something.

as long as you can explain why you got a 2:2 without using the words "lazy" or "stupid" then you should be fine.

You didn't do the evening classes in pep talks did you?

Loki - does 4 years mean you had a "work placement" - sorry dont know what they call them now - year?

Can you get a cracking reference from them which will prove you DO have the work skills you any employer will require?

You obviously went to the evening classes that teaches how to take a paragraph, strip it down and remove any original context.

The whole point I was making when you read in entirity is that even if you get a good degree from a ood university, you still have trials and tribulations to go through.
