If I get a good degree...
Good morning.
I found this sentence as example sentence for a grammar point:
If I get a good degree, I'll become a lawyer.
The grammar point is not a problem.
I'm interested in its meaning. I think one could become a lawyer even if the degree he/she gets is not that good. Couldn't he/she?
Or is it like that in Britain, that you can only become a lawyer if the degree you get is good (that is is with high marks)?
Thank you.

A "good degree" for a lawyer would be Philosophy, History or perhaps Language Studies. A not-so-good degree would be Biology or Geology.
The former degrees give the student a good preparatory basis for law school, the latter, not so much.
