worked in a bar and restaurant before my admission into polytechnic since 2010. I have to go back to the same restaurant after obtaining my national diploma since all the company I applied to for industrial training refused to absolve me. I see better days ahead.

Op nice thread, I learnt how to fix hair, nails and lashes in my year three, didn't want to leave the university without a skill. The job sustained me during and after service.

I love this thread. We all have our surulere tales. Tough situations don't last, tough people do. Moreover, I say all these is paying your dues.

I worked for a woman who wanted to design a shopify website for her jewellery store. She paid me NGN10K for the job.

She liked my work rate and also wanted me to give Physics and Mathematics lessons to her wards, I think at NGN40K/month...not sure anymore. I got a job in Ibadan and another in Lagos the week I was to start. Of course I settled for the one in Lagos.

My present situation, Alhamdulilah, some others might say is rosy, but I am not there as yet. "Abroad" is not easy o. See madcow1's comment on page 0.

Last line, as the good book says, don't despise your days of little beginnings. And happy birthday to my fulani wife mzteemarh. If you deny me in public, ehn?

Lmao,you are not serious.
Don't distract my prospective suitors away from me o.
BTW, omo yoruba ni mi o swagger

I'm a graduate awaiting october batch service by the grace of God.I started by following my uncle who is a building engineer to the site and did all those site work,but I must confess,I Love the knowledge about buillding not even minding the small pay.I'm praying and looking up to God for a good job that will increase my knowledge and move me forward in life.

That stage is not easy and I commend you guys
Me I got so lucky my Job offer letter came exactly 16 days to my POP( without any connection but God). But before I gained admission to the university and during my schooling I did plenty odd jobs o. Phone call operator for 3 years, carrier at block industry to add up money, office assistant(i.e errand boy), etc.... God is great! Still hoping for the best!
