Dr Stephen Moore’s advice comes after a student chose first class over $ 1 million.
However, the lecturer responded that it is better to get a good second-class upper and take the money than to get a first-class upper with no money.
In a post on X, the lecturer said:
"Herh ... As your Lecturer who also graduated with 1st class from bachelor's to PhD, I will not advise you to make such a decision. A good 2nd class upper with USD 1 million will be a safe space for your progress. Hunger makes even the most intelligent people desperate!"
