And yes, I was one of the 3rd class in engineering. I screwed my studies during my time in U due to too many unhealthy influences. I admit that is one of the biggest mistake I did in my life.
When I tried to find my 1st job, out of expectations I was offered 2 jobs for 3 interviews that I went. Maybe i should call that luck. I choosed to become an engineer and my salary sits comfortably at 2k/month. After few months of working, I felt so stressed when I heard that who and who (those with 1st & 2nd class) were earning like 2.5-3.0k working in large MNC. I was really depressed and regret over my attitude during my Uni time. I realized what is past is already past and cannot be undone. During my time in that company, I observed that engineers drive proton and ppl from the sales department drive better cars range from 80k-150k. With some courage after a year of working, I resigned as an engineer for a sales position in another company.
It is not that easy as many ppl would think to build the so-called business network. The pressure as a sales representative is much heavier especially with that sales target marked on the white board hanging in the office. After a year despite all the ups and downs, I managed to earned that I believed is more than average engineers in Intel with 2 years working experience. That is when my basics + commision. Not to add my travelling allowance that will make the numbers even bigger.
To TS, please take this as a motivation and self comfort. A 3rd class in engineering may not excel but there are a lot of other jobs that can provide same the opportunity. It's normal to get discouraged over your bad results. All it takes is how you would view the world outside there.
