Have you ever heard of the word Reevaluation, what you are proving is pointless, just like saying the word of God is stale, at least I have been hearing about the coming of the lord from the moment I understand what sanity is all about, yet the world seems to be growing worst.

During my school days it is easy for guys to gather money, skip school fees just to have the latest gadget and ball with cream bae while power generator as the call demand. I was lost just few months after school, this same folks can't even maintain anything bill in their life without depending, I am not trying to spite anyone, but make use of opportunity when it comes you way... No matter how hard you try to down play this post, accept it OP just saved a soul. Take a Bow and Go!

Thanks for your contribution. As for me, even after my kids may have finished their first degree, I won't stop helping them. I'll continue to give them all the necessary support till they're able to stand on their own. That's the point dear.

I would have preferred if you were the one that quoted my comment in the first place rather than the other guy that was calling names. Very intelligent reply! Your comment is reasonable, logical, matured and has made me see the importance of the thread. I am taking the bow now!

To start with, if you haven't started pondering what will become of your life and career after the NYSC, you're already in a very big trouble.

Ours is a society where parents and guardians believe that training their kids or assisting adolescents end the moment after their graduation from the higher institutions. I believe that's terribly wrong BUT that's the relentless reality. Once you're out of the higher institutions, you're ON YOUR OWN.

Whether you like to believe it or not, there's no free lunch waiting for everyone after their NYSC. Except your parents are top politicians, the average one of us will have to fight for their survival after the NYSC.

Our lives are rated in time. So to waste time is to waste our lives. I wish I could drop all I discussed recently with a neighbour when she told me she will be going for her NYSC very soon.

To many this one year is a year of enjoyment and frivolities. If you're in that category, perish the idea. This one year is one of the most important period in your life. This one year should be spent planning your future, pondering what exactly you want to do, where you'll love to work, where you'll like to live, what you'll do if there's no job in the first one or two years. The fact is, many shall be worn out jobs in their first few years after the NYSC. You may say GOD FORBID, but again that's the bitter truth.

As a corper or prospective one, I advise you save at least 10% of your allowance EVERYONE MONTH. You've got no choice. The first year after service is usually the most challenging for most graduates, because that's the very first time they're experiencing the reality of life. The euphoria of school and NYSC are over and the brutal reality stare them in the face. Save your money. Have an idea what you may do. Plan your years ahead.

Learn a skill. The present economic times are challenging. Folks are losing jobs everyday. The prevailing economic downturn may be around till next year. You need to be prepared. This news should discourage you, instead let it make you become very proactive and forward thinking. If there's any skill you love to learn, this is the best and most appropriate time.

It takes a lot more than being a graduate to succeed. It takes planning, plan B, focus, discipline and determination to succeed. Being without a job is the worst position one can find themselves.

With a little discipline and vision, impending joblessness and the accompanying depression can be avoided. Be smart.

Like the Boys Scout Motto: Be Prepared.

Lalasticlala, please kindly do the needful.

Did I hear you say SAED?

NYSC SAED is pure scam.

Nicogen4us:
what do u mean by scam? Pls explain urself and let me clearify it 4 u?

You make me laugh bro... you are good in your field. You will know thousands of people that are better than you when you come to the real world.

Do you think those unemployed graduates are handicap in their field? Some are genius but no opportunity...

You better re-structured your mind set and scrap that notion from your memory.

mrnuur:


So cos there are thousands of people out there i should bring myself down and say i'm not good or what are you saying here??

butanep:


Understand my point. I didn't tell you to bring yourself down or look inferior but don't let it get over your head because no matter how good you are, if you don't have the opportunity to showcase what you have, it may appear you know nothing.

Develop you mind and tell yourself there are many things you have to know. That's the best way to grow.
