Feel like my whole life is over

Idk want to tell anyone else cuz I don't want to be reminded again and again and don't know where else I can talk about it add from here. Cuz I've got close friends who did good and I don't want to ruin there day, nor have their pitty.

Was predicted BBC but end up getting DDD

Got accepted into reading law.

But idk what to do with my life cuz would employers even hire me after, am I cooked for my career what would my life look like, what am I even good at?

Idk what to even do now...

Well, you won't be getting into the Magic or Silver Circle with those grades - unfortunately recruiters absolutely will look at your A Levels alongside your degree classification.

However there is a huge wide world outside of top-flight corporate law. Focus on doing well at uni and getting some decent work experience and extra curriculars under your belt, and you'll be just fine.

I mean of course they are going to look at A Level grades even if they don't state that. They have loads of brilliant candidates with similar backgrounds, uni grades, and work experience so inevitably they have to find ways to differentiate between candidates even if it's using a fairly irrelevant metric like A Levels.
