Well you can look at this in many ways. The person with the first compared to someone with a 2:1?They have both attended the same seminars have received the same information and have had the same assignments,(i speak in reference to the same course.)The first may have had the first because his grammar was correct or the delivery of information was put in a different way to the person with a 2:1.I think its unfair to say that a first sets you apart.Hoqw about experinces in life?The skills you have develpoed once graduated.The person with the first may have not practiced,whilst the person with the 21 has graduated and practiced,gaining experience and skills.Everyone has an opinion and this is mine,better stop ranting before this becomes irrelevant to the original thread and the administrator punishes me;-)
