I wouldn’t go to the extent of saying that class of honours “don’t mean anything”. It is a lifelong brand and will help you whenever you look for a new job. At least until you make equity partner - then your grades truly don’t matter anymore.
Also, when you go out there and people know you as the first class guy/girl, you will gain initial respect. You will be seen as smart. But it’s then up to you to show that you live up to your first class.
