Have poor A-level/first-year results significantly damaged my chances of having a high-paying career?

I’m studying Economics at Lancaster University. I got ABC at A-level, with a C in Economics, and my first-year results may be around a 2:2/Third ( not sure yet).First year doesn’t count towards my final degree classification at Lancaster. I was wondering If I get First-class marks in Years 2 and 3 and graduate with a First overall, how much will my earlier academic results realistically matter for my career?
I’m interested in any well-paid careers in finance/business generally rather than only investment banking. But do i not stand a chance with IB?I’m mainly wondering whether the C/poor first year will substantially limit my long-term earning potential, or whether a First + experience later on would largely outweigh them. Any advice would be appreciated im clueless and need help thank you.

urgent help needed how can i repeat first year

i failed my first year exam for my main course even tho i passed every thing else. Anyways i was offered a resit but i dont want to do it because firstly i wont be in the country until like a few days before
And it would be way too much content to get through in the timeframe i have. And i literally barely revised for the exam i was depressed all year and by the time summer came i ran out of time got busy with other courses and barely revised for this course. So i dont think i have the time to catch up and would probably fail again anyways. I want to repeat first year but im getting worried because my department told me its not an option at this stage and that it has to be given to me as an option and that they advise i do the resit. But i really dont want to. What do i do please help

Is it safe to walk around campus alone at night as a woman?

I know it seems a bit dramatic idk but i was just wondering. Im a first year so im still pretty new to this uni but i love to walk alone at night especially near greenery and stuff like that. But is it safe as a woman because idk i kinda assumed its safe bc its a uni campus. But i get freaked out when i see guys bc im alone. When i say night i mean like from 9pm 11pm ig . Dont judge me pls im just unsure🙏🏻

so cooked for first year exams

so im a first year student. Idk what happened this year but i was so unmotivated/ pretty depressed. Didnt go to lectures didnt make any friends. For a few months i was quite depressed and never went out. I did apply for exceptional circumstances for this for some assignments i missed on my modules. My exams are a week away and i dont think im gonna do well. Ive ben revising so much but theres still some content to do. I cant do resits either bc ill be in my home country for all of summer. Idk why im making this post ig i wanted to ask for advice or what anyone else would do in this situation. I dont wanna do these exams i just want to redo first year but idk if thats a good idea bc of the money. Im just terrified and extremely stressed. Also im worried this is gonna ruin my chances of getting an internship if i do end up doing badly on my exams. If my exceptional circumstances form gets accepted i might be able to scrape a 2:1 but if not i highly doubt it.

what do u do after a binge?

im trying to lose some weight before summer for some context (over period of 9 weeks i got 6 left before i gotta go abroad). But unfortunately i had a few days where i binged and altogether i went over by 3,000 calories. (As in i went over my deficit not maintenance by 3,000 calories).I wanted to ask should i make it up or just forget about it and go on with my weight loss journey? I cant tell if its significant enough to makeup. Can it ruin my progress? Im just stuck i dont know what to do.

Is University Living a legit website??

It looks so dodgy idk. Does anyone know anything about it or has successfully got an accommodation with them? It just looks like a scam.
