Is their any good chance for a 2.2 holder to secure a good paying job or a white collar job in this country...i have tried so hard but all i see is minimum of 2.1 and even those that dont emphasise on 2.1, after collecting all the applications from the job-seeking graduates they give more preference to the 2.1 holder, and this makes me think that those it means that the 2.2 holders need to go back to school...

What you dont have cannot set you back. It is what you have but dont know how to use it that sets a man back.

I am vry sure it was sheer luck

1. Connection

In the Absence of Connection...

2. Determination

And i don't mean that in a hollow, empty way. Focus your search, do not apply for applying sake/just to try your luck.
Fine-tune your search and submit like you DO HAVE A CHOICE, not randomly. Convince yourself that the firms need you more than you need them.
Send in a very well-prepared CV with adequate and brilliantly tailored cover letter(s) to the firms you are interested in, solicited or not. You'd be surprised what you can achieve.

Once you can exude confidence, have excellent written and oral skills, have at least average aptitude,and maintain the right frame of mind, you'll get a job in months. Right frame of mind includes: Not worrying too much about, not succumbing to desperation, despair or depression, etc. Get something doing that can be bringing in N10,000 - N20,000 monthly for you. Now is not the time to be proud. There'll be plenty of time for that when you are being called sir, sir at work....

Oh by the way, I'm talking entirely from experience... Godspeed.
