The 'degree' is your relation to the felony itself.

1st degree - you committed the crime,

2nd degree - you aided and abetted at the scene of the crime,

3rd degree - accessory before the fact. You aided and abetted before the crime was committed,

4th degree - accessory after the fact. You aided and abetted after the crime had been committed.

Added: Crimes are defined by states, and many states also use degrees to refer to the "level" of crime. For example, 1st degree murder may mean that the murder was planned and calculated, while 2nd degree murder might refer to a murder that was hatched in the heat of the moment. Similarly, 1st degree robbery might refer to armed robbery, while 2nd degree robbery may mean robbery where a deadly weapon was not used.

Depends on your version of bad. Yes it is bad for your record of course. Unlikely to get hired at too many places. Its a minimum of 2 years and max of 10 in jail. Also a fine of no greater than 10,000. So yes, indeed it is bad.

Third Degree felonies are considered the least serious class of felony; anything less serious is considered a misdemeanor.

Different states have different laws. Forging or altering a certificate of title of a mobile home or a motor vehicle, is an example of a level 3 felony in the state of Florida.
