Barbing? Do you mean hair cutting? Barbing does not mean hair cutting. A "Barber" is someone who cuts hair. Hair Salon or Barber's shop not 'barbing salon' is where hair is cut.

Toilet key keeping

If you find yourself where there are too many persons closely living together, you can volunteer to be the toilet key keeper. Permission will be taken from you before anyone heads into the toilet for anything. And if it's a place where people pay to defecate, hmmm!!! You don hammer be that.

If you missed the thread put up by Goldenheart on 8 things you must do before passing out from NYSC, you can read it HERE.

This thread is to highlight the skills you must learn, whether male or female, before you pass out from NYSC. Learning at least 2 of them will equip you for the hard life most ex-corpers are facing outside. Learn more than 5 of them and you won't think of searching for a job.

1. Computer/Internet
I just can't overemphasize this one. We are in 2015 not 1990. If you can't use a computer by now and you pass out from NYSC without learning the skill you are on a long thing. For your information, most companies are going digital and CVs are no longer written by hand. To build an online profile or even open an email, you need to know how to use a computer and the internet. Imagine some corpers will know how to chat on whatsapp but can't download the app through the internet. Some know how to use BBM, 2GO, WHATSAPP just name it but they don't know how use OPERAMINI to browse, search for information or carry out other important internet based activities that will enhance the career. Well, a word is enough for the wise.

2. Agriculture
Just choose any specific area whether rearing of animals or planting of crops and learn the in and out of it. You will have ample time to practice on a small scale especially if you are serving in a rural area. Who knows, agriculture may give you your first 1 million naira/dollar instead of one fairytale white coller job. The wise ones will understand. If you need ideas please run to Agriculture section of Nairaland. You will never regret doing so.


3. Driving
Many job opportunities have passed me by because I don't know how to drive. I wish I knew earlier, I would have learnt while I was serving. Now wey things don hard for me, how I go take learn am come be problem cos I can't afford a driving school. Thats my story, do you want your story to be a similar one? Make the right choice now. Learn to drive. Save something out of that tiny allowance and use it to learn. You won't regret doing so.

4. Barbing
Having this skill can fetch you some income while you await that big job that will change your story so please don't let it go.

5. Make Up
Ladies you suppose know na. Trust me, you can buy a hummer jeep if you learn this skill very well. Who no dey make up for Naija? Even Baba Buhari still dey make up. Imagine the money that lady is making. Go buy make up kit begin practice sharp sharp. Before one year you go don turn expert.

6. Shoe/Bag/Bead Making
Thank God we are no longer in the days of Baba Jonathan when people wore no shoes. As long as people wear shoes, carry bags and adorn themselves with beads, your services will always be needed. Do I need to expantiate more?

7. Cooking/Baking/Frying
This is the best opportunity to sharpen your curlinary skills. Go online and find out how to prepare any meal. Prepare small dishes that your alawee can carry and improve on yourself. Do you think people will start using moulded Eba to celebrate social events like marriages, birthdays, etc? Cakes! Cakes! Cakes! = Naira! Naira! Naira!

8. Public Speaking
Well if you have all these skill and you don't know how to sell it, thats a big problem on its own. I therefore encourage you to learn to interact well with people so as to sell or market yourself.

I hope you will utilize this information to your advantage. Experience is a good teacher, just pray not to be on the wrong side of the learning curve. Thanks.

Firstly, I commend the writer for this piece. Secondly, I suggest that laundry or dry cleaning services, which benefits cannot be overemphasized be added to the list. This is one vocation that has helped many (including me) have that much needed extra cash for the very basic of neccessities. It doesn't cost any meaningful sum to set up. Some buckets, soaps with nice fragrance, laundry waterproofs, washing starch, stain removers, colour retainers (salt can be a substitute to this), non-corrosive detergent, and an appreciable skill in careful ironing (knowing how to control the temperature of the iron). Good day folks, I enjoy your posts and banters on this forum.

I couldn't agree any better. Training of the hands for whatever skill goes a long way.

What if you have gone to a driving school before and still need a car to perfect your driving skills? Like me I have been to a driving school, but I need a car to perfect my driving skills, else I tend to forget all what I have being taught.
