** The Big Issue ** In 2012/13, nearly 190,000 students graduated with 2:1s. Out of the 400,000 students that graduated that year, more were getting 2:2s than firsts, according to the latest Higher Education Statistics. Hugh Laurie, J.K.Rowling and Prince Charles are just a few of the successful who fell below the second class, division one honours. Jake Wilson, a BA German graduate, tells of his experience with the qualification: The latest notion that a 2:1 is better than a first is, like most of these statements something that can apply in certain cases. I graduated from Swansea last year with a 2:1 in German and was able to walk into a £23k+ job two days after graduating. It wasnt my degree that got me my job, but work experience that I had accumulated before university and in my summer and Easter vacations. In your opinion, is a 2:1 the Golden Ticket to Success?
