But let me guess, you did well on some parts but badly on other parts?  If 
you could study only the bits you really enjoyed and were good at, you would 
do better.

Oh ok, I wasn't aware of that limitation (Engineering degrees are usually 
all 4 years so of course this limitation wasn't mentioned to us).

Why not? You could probably do a PhD instead of posting here :-)

Oh I'm sure it would, today almost everyone has some sort of degree, having 
a PhD will make you stand out from the crowd, much like having a degree a 
few decades ago did.  Besides, you will probably enjoy it, plus it will get 
you into an enjoyable job later.

But yes, it could be a bit pricey to fund yourself.
