To my own opinion, the minimum age should be 21 while the maximum age should be 25. When you are finishing at 26 and above, is not worth celebrating.

The average age of graduates now is 20! I finished at 21 and I still felt old coz I had younger course mates. You're old already! The person who told you you're too young lied. By the way, your grammar is way too poor for a graduate.

You finished at 23 an you're calling yourself young? By the time you finish nysc you will be around 24/25...Then you'll know you're very old because you'll see graduate jobs that require maximum of 24 years old. .access bank, oanda, NSE et al..

Don't feel so special, people finished at a much younger age.. some people got their Doctorate degrees at 25 and even lower!!

However, age is only but a number. . It doesn't stop you from reaching your goals if you're determined!

Ogbeni, you aren't young.

I'm 23 and I have 2years experience.

I have a colleague that is 21years now, and she's on her second job.

Recalibrate your definition of young.

Then us that are in our late 20s should start crying abi. The rate at which poeple ask some senseless questions on NL is really disturbing. Concentrate in your studies you want instead you choose to stay in NL and be qsking senseless questions. when you graduate the next qusetion will be *Abeg can some one survive with third class or second class lower in labour market*
