Goodmorning Fam! I really I'm blown away by all the love and support y'all have shown me and my kind. Plus I never imagined this thread would make it to Nairaland's front page. As for the aspect of going into Entrepreneurship, I've thought about it, but as y'all know, capital is sometimes a problem. I have something I'm doing at the moment, a small job that takes me out everyday. The pay ain't much though. I do Freelance Writing once in awhile, but as y'all also know the epileptic power supply here in Nigeria deters me from building a career in Writing. Above all having a lot of Philosophy graduates who've made it big for themselves comment on this thread gives me hope that regardless of my discipline being belittled by most Industry CEOs and Nigerians in diaspora, I and my kind can still make it to the top of the food chain. If we think right and develop ourselves. 1 Like |

Grammywinner: My brother don't let anyone talk you down coz you read a particular course, your doing well in life is a function of what you can do. The question is how have you prepared yourself in what you can do? What are your skills? I was doing well as a practicing pharmacist but I didn't stop there just because I read pharmacy and was practicing it, I took occupational safety courses, got some professional certifications, did an MSc in occupational Safety and Health, did an advance PGD in Epidemiology, took a maritime emergency preparedness and response certificate etc etc. I switched completely to the maritime sector and the pharmacy became an alternative source of income. Some of my friends still ponder and keep asking what is a pharmacist doing in safety n maritime field. Prepare yourself, get some skills and certifications and no one would even remember you read philosophy. I went for a particular interview and after engaging the panel in a discussion on my papers and skills, they told me I was over-qualified, that I could only be hired as a management staff bt at d moment dat vacancy is not available so they will hire me as a consultant..... There is nothing like preparing oneself for the future by acquiring skills. 3 Likes |

Thank you Op for this thread. I have learned a lot from the responses of fellow Nairalanders. Though I read Textile Science and Technology, I can relate to your concerns. The answers I have seen here have opened my eyes to opportunities outside my course since there are no ready jobs in my field of study. 2 Likes |

[quote author=Grammywinner post=54586099] Thank you so much for your comment sir. I'll see to getting myself at least a professional certificate to complement to what I already have. But in the meantime, is there any Industry I should turn to in terms of You can work comfortably in embassy. If you must further your studies then go for International Relations or Language and Linguistics. In such a case you have the capability to speak a minimum of three foreign major languages in addition to your English speaking language, believe me you will touch the sky with your hands. You can then work in a Refugees' camps (Language department) under UN in any European country. You can also work in a police station in a non English speaking countries like Italy, Spain, Malta, Switzerland, etc as an interpreter. Don't be a mediocre, I am an Economist (a Classicallist). Economics was castrated from Philology by Adam Smith, some other social sciences disciplines (Political Science, Business Administration, Business Management, Banking and Finance, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Managerial Science, etc) which form the branches of Economics today were all castrated from Economics and Economics had its root in Philosophy. 1 Like |

Nice one fellow philosophers! I deem it right for us to have a WhatsApp group where we can share our career experiences, as this will motivate others still struggling to fit in into the 'favour market'. |
