i graduated with a third class from university, and a second class lower in law school, however my universitys' grade has affected me negatively. i am finding it very difficult to get a good job because of my grade. most times employers ignore my application. i have also tried applying for a masters degree, but most schools in u.k / u.s request for a minimum of a 2.2 in university. right now 'am frustrated and find it difficult to tell people who want to help me get a job that i made a third class in university. i am not dull, i know i wasnt studious in university, probably youthful exurberance, but am ready to correct my mistakes if only i can be given a chance. please help me

Do you know some of the most successful people in the world did not even finish school. Don't give up and be more positive about yourself, focus on what you do have and not what you don't have. Good luck!

I think you can take some of the courses that brought down your grade over, at least in the US, that is possible. So maybe you could get a part time job in a law office while you go back to a university to better your grades. When you are done, you will not only have a better grade average but will also have experience from a law firm.

I know someone who can help you. It can help your self confidence. I want you to send me an email to sandraellison72@gmail.com - you can work from your home. we can talk about it and I can contact my mentor who can also talk with you about it. I understand the frustration you may be going through and I am sorry that with the fact that you DO have education you are still being punished because it was a lower grade....It should not matter because you have finished your degrees that says A LOT!!! I want to say to you to pat yourself on the back for the fact that you STILL FINISHED and not a lot of people can say that about themselves. It means that you are not a quitter!!

If you have law degree, why donot you work under some senior lawyers and pick up the threads of profession. Once you are confident, you can open an office of your own
