Well, lower second or third = no job and no grad school (at least in the UK). You need a 2:1 or a 1:1.

This is true but only applies to your exam results in your third year. That’s what ends up as your degree class and goes on your resume for your entire career (even applying for a job as a CEO in your 50s: everyone knows what degree class the U.K. Prime Minister got). The first and second year results can be quietly ignored if they aren’t so good (although you may want to tell people if you got a first in both Part 1 and Part 2, a “double first”).
