Any Hope For 3rd Class Graduates In Nigeria?

i  seeeeeeee

you made a very good point there,  "MAKIN" thats some thing one have to think of becos of this Nigeria factor,

yes o, that is the good news. i must tell you 'he who is down need not fear to fall. stop making up excuses accept the fact that you had a third class and stop making rubbish excuses. are you trying to say that all that made 2.2 or 2.1 had money or slept with someone? go back to school obtain yiour masters and get professional you will be shocked those that will come looking for you.

Thanx y'all for the encouragement.Y'all inspire me!!!

3rd class is what 75% of nigerian graduates come out wit, u must realize education in nigeria has a low standard, some ple settle thier way out of university wit a good degree, and when it comes to interview it what u say that matters most not your class. developing other skills too is great, i had a 3rd class not becos i wasnt bright but cos  my skool lost a total of 15credit load of my exam papers  , they didnt give me a resit, instead they gave me a carry-over, i petitioned the HOD and all i got again was another purposely inflicted carryover  , just because i had d guts to petition them, but its all good, cos God saves and im working in an IT firm and doin great, mess my Bsc.

You need to work on your mind set.

The university is not meant for producing only employees.
If everybody wants to graduate to get a job who will create the job?

3rd class is no excuse. All you have to do is to get skilluful and find what valuable thing(s) you can add to the society.
my brother money will roll in.

Add more value to your self. Certificate is only a paper.

If you can become more resourcesful, you will be surprised at how much you can make for yourself per year.
You will even employ the 1st class  to help you fulfill your dream.

When you work for people you fulfill their dreams for them. Start  fulfilling your own dream. And if you dont have one
think deeply and generate your own dream idea. that is where you start.

Please tell them.  See also: Searching For A Job? Look Inwards!

@jimmiebone: thanks!

Blaming your classmates for your misery wont alleviate any of your problems. You have to be positive and have faith in God. He will direct your paths and lead you to your hearts desire.

Goodluck.

You can get a second degree, and then, some professional qualifications, if you intend to work as an employee,

But then again, that isnt too necessary if you want to be your own boss?

A lot of peeps have spoken well. Its not the end of the world, where There's a will, There's a way. As long as you are willing, that's all that's needed. I was at a seminar tagged - the graduate and the skilled. One thing i got from the whole presentation was R and D- relevance and difference. You've got to bed value to yourself, irrespective of whatever grades you've got, so as to be different from all other graduates out there.

hi,

I love this write up. I had a third class from the Obafemi awolowo university computer engr. dept . i was damn too playful and never fathomed i could end up with such a grade though it has been tough but god will always make   a pathway for our problemd to be  routed. I am yet to reach the heights but i do get opportunities from time to time. Its good to come out with a good grade but the situation can't be helped. Some people do make  a mockery of 3rd class holders tell me your grade and let me challenge you in critical reasoning or whatever.
I am not claiming and i don't wanna be mis-interpreted.

You guys are talking of 3rd Class, me I had a Pass ! ( What?  , is it my fault that I don't like maths?)
And I've been working for 4 years now, and I've changed jobs like 3 times.
So my brother, chill, your own will come, but do try and do some professional course, or get a second degree, it'll definitely improve your chances
P.S. join some professional organisation - ICAN, NIM, NIPR, etc

mamaosisi she is a sister
at least she get job and dey change job, her situation is not too bad, thank God she didn't allow the depression of a pass to ruin her life

others should take note and not give up, develop yourself and don't let people put you down, you will face difficulty, but you can surmount it

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to my post. I am currently in the uk now doing my masters in computer Networking.i took your advice of doing professional courses and when i applied to the school.i was accepted due to my Certifications in  CCNA and diploma from NIIT
I did not give up and i did not do PGD.i was given a chance for masters straight.
I thank GOD for blessing me on this and this shows there is hope for anybody who does not give up

Thanks all and God Bless
