Just how bad is a 2:2?

I got a 2:2
and I got a job doing exactly what I wanted to do within 8 weeks of graduation. I did apply all over the country though, and I had a lot more on my CV than most of my peers.

depends on the degree and the university
but in Berk's case, the issue is you can't get funding for a science or engineering PhD unless you get a 2:1.

Not without a masters, anyway
and even they can be a bugger to get if you only have a 2:2

I let people on my MSc course with a 2:2 ....
but, yeah, usually I'd look for something else in the CV to convince me they won't balls it up.
