    Almost everything you asked depends on the college you're in. It's best to ask for advice from your Students' Union/tutor/mentor/Student Services Department.

    Career wise for a pass degree - what do you think you can't do? There are lots of people who are doing perfectly fine without any degrees.

    its just most postgraduate courses require at least a 2.1, and very few require a 2.2, never mind a 3rd/pass. Evens banks require a 2.2 at least

    Totally depends on your uni. Some expect you to carry a fail in final year, others don't. It'll be in your student handbook somewhere.
