Thats one of the mistake I made in my life and still regretting it till now. First class is a waste of time and thoughts. If you are connected, not an introvert, then you have a chance, if you are not, please I beg you, while in university, concentrate on things you can do that would bring you money and make you happy in life. Just make sure you don't go below second class upper.
Nigeria is a failed country.
I wish I did this when I was in the university, I was busy making sure I was doing well in academics, I also ed for a 4years Arabic course which I finished. I wish I knew my advisors were merely myopic, I wish I had concentrated my energy on learning TECH skills.
I wish I had used my school fees to purchase Tech equipment and learn the skills, some of us fall into the category of bad advice. I regret the day I saw my result and it was full of A's in 100level first semester, that was my motivation and every body started telling me I would made a first class up and down, and telling me not to relent. I wish I had relented, but I was stupid to keep pursuing nonsense

Done with sch now but no job, not even a factory work. Though i was doing a petty job then while schooling since i needed money to foot my bills, there was no time to learn a tech skill.

I'm a lady bro. We will make it together, don't worry. We must proof them wrong. Billionaire squad, or what's your wealth goal?

Why are you answering him. Don't you know that jealousy make them talk that way. Even my stupid classmates would say I'm not brilliant, I'm just good at reading thats why I was the best graduating student. I was the youngest person in my class and also I did another 4years course alongside my bsc degree which I also graduated as one of the best. Some peoples brain is just too dull to understand what they are saying.
I regret ever being in my department with fools, non of them is actually more than average except one girl like that.
I wish I had the opportunity of being among good brains, and smart people. I can't even be friends with any of them since they think backward and those that are okay are full of jealousy or extremely extroverted, so I just packed well as I'm an introvert

If someone think I have empty brain after coming first, out of more than 1000students, and even being the youngest of them all, then that person must be out of his senses

Academically i doubt if they are better than the 1st class, although there're some 4pointers that are also sound upstairs but comparing 2.1 expecially the 3pointers and even 2.2 to 1st class it's a no no for me.

...there are some that cannot defend their 1st,some only work it out while in school

I doubt, no lecturer will ditch out 1st class to any student who doesn't merit it. No student can bribe his/her way out of sch with 1st class.

Ma'am, it's too early to regret. Yes, you may not have complement your good grades with a skill, but that doesn't mean having good grades is useless. What is worth doing is worth doing well. I'm still an undergraduate, and by Allah's Grace, I wouldn't settle for less even though I haven't achieve it at present. Having good grades is a thing of proud it doesn't necessarily mean everyone will secure jobs with grades.

Exactly!

Malik1338:

I doubt if there are first class graduates with empty heads. It's just a myth to water down others. Having a first class comes with sacrifices - not just reading alone, discipline, prayers, consistency...name them
In a nutshell, having first class isn't moi moi

It's not ticket, bro... Infact, you shouldn't focus on that. However, that shouldn't stop one from obtaining good grades - my opinion. It also opens doors of opportunities.

Oladayo12:

Lol... If cramming is easy, tell them to try it

Yes brother, even if na LA cram LA pour,it's hard work

Thanks darling, you can't understand how sweet TECH is for me, and how it can easily bring money on days one least expected. I won't advice you to relent ma, but for me, I will always regret it. Its been long I finished both Bsc and MSC, now I know I wasted my precious life during my Bsc days.

........agreed

No it doesn't, but it opens a lot of opportunities to you. Cheers!

Exactly sis, 4 5 6yrs chasing good grade without any tech skills & @long run the good grade wont land you a job, not even a decent job sef. This 1st class of a thing securing a job after sch even without any skill only work back then, not now anymore.

Exactly, some of them will even say that they don't want 1st class, they are ok with 2.1
