Then again, who really wanted a good degree from the University of Leeds anyway?
I mean, it’s not like such a hideous failure in my degree means my entire life is a failure. I have many other strengths outside of academia. I have many other areas of interest and expertise - such as my intimidating knowledge of Simpsons quotes.
And after all, who really wanted the opportunity to go on and do further study or be hired in an exciting graduate role? I’m sure their are companies just crying out to pay people huge wages for researching just how many flips make the perfect burger.

Forgive me for ‘peeking’ in to your blog again but I was curious to see how you did in your degree. Clearly not the result you were hoping for. That great sage Jeremy Clarkson says that how well a person does in life has far more to do with their personality than with their academic qualities. He is the proof of his own theory, having left school with few qualifications but still very successful in life. Alan Sugar is another example, having left school at sixteen. What really counts is inner drive, which I can tell you have in abundance. So I suspect, am convinced in fact, that despite not getting the degree you wanted, you are still going places. I wish you well.
