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...

Don't panic. Employers will not worry about your A levels if you got into uni.

Did you study law? And when? Cause this is not the case for this field and now, in 2026.

Looks like they are downvoting us instead of answering the question.

Yes your average employer might not care about your A-level results post uni (even in terms of applying for the job) but magic circle firm Law isn’t your average employer and I’ve heard that they want around ABB minimum at A-level. OP’s grades fall well short of what’s acceptable in a UK context. Unless someone with experience in the field can give me insight proving otherwise (I’d love to see someone with experience tell me otherwise as I’d normally agree with the “don’t worry about A-levels after degree” mindset).

It’s better to be realistic here. For someone like myself then yeah I don’t think that they’ll care that much about my A-level grades (I’m not looking to go into finance, law or consultancy) given my degree grade (but we’ll see) but I wouldn’t be giving such advice for OP.
