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?

If he doesnt really like programming, i recommend staying in school

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

Thanks guys!

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.

@Fiew1961 haha my friend got a job within a few months and is not even happily married! As for me, the general degree and job , nothing special

@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
