Default Re: What degree results do pre-reg employers look for?

He had a great influence on me as a working class lad and first one in the family to go to uni. Consequently I did a couple of years teaching and went into industry. At a recent reunion for those graduating in 57,58,59 the several millionaires had all made their fortunes in retail, except for the host who is a half billionaire with his fortune made from publishing.

With regard to modern students I am not scornful of their academic ability, but rather of the primary school teachers who thought that spelling and multiplication tables did not matter today. Actually, the standard of spelling and grammar on this forum is much higher than average.
