how did you get into uni if you failed your Alevels? unless this was ages ago?

OP well done on the OU degree, part time learning is hard and you should be pleased with yourself.

as for grad jobs I'm afraid your correct, I wouldn't bother without a 1st/2,1 and a decent set of Alevels and GCSEs . there are some great sales roles out there, stay away from recruitment!

I agree with the majority.
Any degree done with the Open University should be celebrated, whatever the result!
Having finished my OU Masters and been to my graduation ceremony last week, I can certainly empathise with all the hard work that needs to be put in whilst balancing your career and other commitments.

Congratulations and do not underestimate what you have achieved!
