How nice it would be to live in a country where there is dignity of labour, and people are ready to work with their hands.

Money, dearie.  .  .people need money and they need it yesterday.
That determines what people go into these days. Everyone wants something lucrative 'cos the present state of the country is. . .*sigh*

@Cristalz,
The money definitely aint coming, and anytime soon.
Even the government is bleeding. Anyway, I knew this was never going to happen in Nigeria. The rudies in the Political section will write till they're 80, but nothing will change.

LOL
Even you. . .if your son, a B.Sc Geology holder, tells you he feels he is very skilled at Carpentry and wants to go into that, make good furniture for the nation. . .would you let him?

What happened to my topic

@Cristalz, yes, I would, and finance him too.
My uncle studied accounting, worked in SCOA for many years, resigned, and set up a furniture workshop. He actually learnt carpentary skills at some point.

Also, you don't live in Lagos, right, but there is a dude in Oregun, popular mechanic, went to UI, didn't study engineering, but basically fixes exotic cars now. He learnt how to fix cars, and has seriously improved himself. Charges are mind-blowing.

Most of the jobs we do in the office are actually technician or handyman jobs. Some so-called 'accountants' are just mere clerks, some systems engineers are actually help-desk technicians, etc, etc. So why not learn a trade, even if you go to college or not? We need to have a skilled population.

That is it. . .I am learning how to fix broken airconditioners from next week. . .

But seriously, this is for the guys who finished school, and don't have a job. Some people write endlessly about how they graduated with a third class and can't find a job, on this forum. Why don't they learn a trade?

I know a guy (as always!) who studied economics in Unilag, migrated to the UK for an MBA, dropped out due to fund issues, and learnt building.
He's actually living in the UK now, running a construction business. He renovates homes, and does small and medium building projects, and is doing pretty good.

really want to learn how to make cake and its decorations but its quite expensive for someone like me.

Why is it expensive?
Isn't it a matter of finding someone good at it to teach you? Or you want to go to a bakery school or something?

I think it's a good idea though. People always require cakes.
