So I have a friend who recently has been forced to graduate with an ordinary degree even tho he was on track on achieving a 2:1. This is Scotland, so it's for 3 years ordinary degree. Do you recommend a transfer to another university with 2 more years to get honours, or start applying for jobs and forget about honors?

    The IT industry is blessed by the fact that people don’t ask you about your degree and grades but rather “What projects/technologies have you worked with? Tell me more what you enjoyed, learned.

    Honestly, unless you are aiming to do something cutting edge that is still being researched like AI, SDN/ SD-Wan, etc; University can only give you the basic grounds.

    Practice makes perfect :=>

    P.s.
    I have software development (Hon) from the UK

    It's been 3 years. I'm very curious what your friend has chosen and what he is doing now? And how is the life of the author, if not a secret?

    This statement is increasingly relevant for other professions and industries. I studied in college and eventually realized that the subjects there have no practical value, but take a lot of time and effort. I decided that I needed to study on my own and go somewhere for an internship. I started using https://edubirdie.com/buy-term-pape... to do the tasks that took me the most time, but I didn't like doing them. I recommend this resource to anyone who also does not like or can not write essays and other writing tasks on their own.

    @CameronDa honestly if I knew apprenticeships were a thing I would have done that instead of uni, more applicable skills, get paid and actual productivity
