I also dun understand why the arrogance, with many forumers saying "no 2nd upper don't bother apply for job". Actually have alot of friends with 2nd lower doing fine in more respectable companies. Also think its probably the "ahh i studied so hard to get a 2nd upper thus i deserve more" attitude.
And you have to see what course is this "2nd upper" from. NUS chem eng, law, pharmacy, and business's 2nd lower is of course not easy to get either, even their 3rd class needs work. This is different from some other bigger faculties where by the quality of students is also not that high. Thus if u might want to choose your course carefully, if u want to go work as police or in govt sector which states 2nd upper in any major.
