    What it's in can be a major factor, e.g. a BA Ordinary degree is pretty useless for teaching these days, but a BA Ordinary in Culinary Arts or whatever they call it for chefs these days and good experience gained along the way might walk you straight into a good job. Research the sector and the course, and talk to people who are involved day-to-day.

    It's also worth noting that many Ordinary Degrees have an add-on option to "top-up" to Honours Degrees if your results are decent; check if there is such an option for the one(s) you're looking at.
