I felt the same way a year from the end on my English Literature degree at Edinburgh. I felt that the 2:1 I expected (and got) wasn't going to be good enough to find a good job Fast forward 2 years and I'm living in london, about to start a really cool new job. Chin up, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Dear Corissa,
Please don't worry too much about your future (easily said, I know). Here in Germany there's always lots of demand for native English speakers who master our language. I'd recommend that after graduating from your German degree, you should look at postgraduate, perhaps MBA, courses in Germany (at unis or Fachhochschulen) - tuition fees will be low and with English + German + some business knowledge many firms will be very happy to take you.
Cheer up!

As a second-year German student who is starting (unavoidably) to think about the future and drawing some bleak conclusions, I can understand the increase in people taking degrees which lead to an obvious profession- such as medicine. Not only will they end up being better-paid, but the period of study is free from the vacuous abyss that is the uncertainty which seems inevitable with degrees in humanities subjects. Not to mention the fact that university results in such a crippling amount of debt these days that one can't help considering the financial repercussions of one or another course decision. With hindsight, I can safely say that I would take a more vocational course.
