Ok, so I'm still waiting on a couple of marks yet, but judging by what ive recieved so far I'll have to be incredibly lucky to scrape a 2:2 and the most likilhood is that I'll end up with a 3rd as the final grade in my business degree...now to be honest this feels pretty worthless, is it? I know its still a degree at the end of the day but it seems like all the graduate jobs want 2:1s or at the least 2:2s, so what chance do i have of cracking into the job market with a lowly 3rd?
Also, does anybody have any cheery stories about how they also got a 3rd in their degree but landed an awesome job so they're now sat in some big mansion on a pile of cash?

One possibility is not to put the degree classification on your CV, just put BSc (Hons.) or whatever. Only volunteer it if asked.
You will probably find you struggle to get on to any graduate training schemes, but they're not the only route to take. With a bit of hard work, and not being too proud to start at the bottom of the heap and climb the ladder, I'm sure you'll do just fine.
I'd agree with just putting on your CV that you have a degree, and not mentioning the grade, too
It's not the end of the world, at least that's what I'm telling myself right now.
