Is the Course you studied more important than the result you came out with?

For example: Mr A studied Medicine and came out with 3rd class degree.

Mr B studied Botany and came out with first class degree.

Does Mr A still have a higher chance of getting employed than Mr B?

The result

Even though I go with "result" regardless of the course and result, as long you're Good and can deliver well, it's cool.

Na the result wey matters... plus Connection

Both

Both are good but Grace and Favor are more important.
I’ve seen 1st class graduates not able to secure employment while 3rd class graduates getting work immediately after grad.
Do your best but also pray for Grace and to be Favored.

Both but your grades count more for as long as it is not from lowly rated, chuke chuke, cult-infested, glorified secondary schools with 145 to190 cut off mark JAMB ission score combined with two or more O'level sittings combined results with mediocre lazy corrupt lecturers in the business of selling plagiarized 'copy and paste' handouts for marks to equally lazy mediocre students.
Life will be hard for you if you attend those kind of nonsense schools no matter your grade so work hard to attend great schools.

Quit social media and nairaland to study HARD and get into great schools and courses.


Do not let anyone decieve you, nothing beats studying a great lucrative course in a top school like UNILAG and finishing with great grades. You are made for life niyen.

Na result oo. First na first class. Una fit get scholarship to study abroad.

None, what matters most is who you know.

Btw, there’s nothing like “3rd class degree” in medicine. Medical school doesn’t use grade. It’s either or fail.

None.
It doesn't matter what you graduate with or what you studied if you are not disciplined, focused and connected.
The YOU in you is all that matters.
BUT,
Staying on the topic, The course matter more than the grade. There are some courses that even if you come out with 5.0 CGPA, you will still struggle to get placement. Whereas, in some courses, they just want to see that you are qualified ( certificate).

The result should USUALLY be.

WHAT IS WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING WELL...
YOUR RESULT IS LIKE A GIRL WITH A BEAUTIFUL FACE... YOUR RESULT IS THE FIRST THING THAT WOULD GET YOU THE ATTENTION AND OPPORTUNITY, BEFORE YOUR SKILLS WOULD BE TESTED.
Someone who graduated with 3rd class or can be very good and smart but some people won't even give you the opportunity to prove yourself because of the poor result.

Personally, my result (graduating with 2.1) gave me more advantage and made things easier.

If I had graduated with 2.2 or 3rd class, I don't know how things could have gone...

Note:

I'm not saying people would graduate with 2.2 and 3rd class don't have things easy or get lucky...

Course

Studied surveying and geoinformatics ...
Over here i am a big boss ...no body gives a fok about your grades as long as you can deliver

The course.

From personal experience, I am rarely asked the grades I came out with and they go ahead discussing what they want to engage me for.

Connection matter forget results and course
My uncle is a mechanic engineer and works at a bank, I was the one helping him to service his gen

The result is more important in my opinion.

Ok

Advantage of studying Law , so long as you make it to Law school no one cares about your grade .

Experience beats both hands down

Connection matter forget results and course
My uncle is a mechanical engineer and works at a bank, I was the one helping him to service his gen, and I didn't even read mechanical engineering but I learnt by watching

Neither the course or result but the result of the course and result u studied


All that Matters is what you yave upstairs

Bank on the result to boast in application, status ,public place but till you jam sabificate we'd know if you Sabi weytin dey your result if na you get am or ... though we tend to forget circumstances can make a brilliant individual graduate with low grades which he or she never expected or wanted

3rd Class Degree in Medicine? I doubt the mental capacity of the OP.

Both and connection matters

Don't use medicine...you don't av first call you only have and graduating with honours

The course you studied, but more important is what you can do, your skills, how you can make money for your Company. There are thousands of graduates out there with the same course and grade you have, what can you offer?
