Unemployment
believe you me, majority of Nigerians are today in various disciplines because of unemployment. I'm a victim of same but I'm deadly in love with my profession now...cos it's still closely related to what I had in mind since primary school days

I wanted to be a Banker or an Economist (from childhood) though I was very good in my English & Literature.
First Jamb was Economics, was denied admission, but at a point, I felt that wasn't my calling (Especially as Maths and figures{except money} do give me headaches) . Second Jamb Mass Comm. Even though I wasn't so keen about it(was more of an introvert owing to my background but I just wanted a course I could really pass easily)...

While on campus for the post utme, I made couple of friends and most of them thought I applied for Law. I said no...God forbid o... Its a very hard course...Lawyers are into occultism....they are liars... Its for the hard heartened. I equated law with medicine and left for me, I just wanted to get admission, finish school in 4 years and start making good money.

Then one guy made a statement that changed the course of my destiny. "Do you think those guys in the faculty of law are more intelligent than you are?, they are not........". Now this was quite motivating.

I did my research, made friends with Law students(some were below average sha) got some books, and discovered Law was my true calling. I'm happy I listened to that guy though... I find this joy doing a course that involves what I love to do on daily basis.

My god mom who is a counselor influenced my decision. I was caught between law and economics. I would say, law is not just my passion but my destiny as am very good at litigation.

My dad asked me "Have you ever seen a poor professional Accountant?" Then he rolled out names of his friends I knew that were Accountants, and compared them with his Lawyer, Medical, friends.

I don't regret the decision today. We will get there Isha Allah.

I was pretty good with maths and had an apetite for solving technical problems at an early age so engineering was the only way out sorta.
Re: We Talk About Career. What Influences Your Career Choice? by MadCow1: 8:24am On Apr 12, 2016
My Mother called me one day into her room and said to me; "Son, if you study any course that is not Engineering, I will not pay your school fees".

Visited the hospital for eye treatment(surgery) when i was 9 years old and thereafter always wanted to be a doctor grin
Unilorin refused me medicine and i ended up studying physiology,worked as medical sales rep a while after NYSC and later ended up in the coldest part of the world where i did a masters in health business management and have been managing health care sector for my current city Council for 5 plus years. Very happy with life. smiley

Was 4years old, in the mid '80s. my mom always warned me about playing with/poking metallic objects into the electrical sockets of the house until I got the ZAP of my life. Ever since then I wanted to understand the mystery behind electricity and how to defeat it.
Now I'm a practising Electrical engineer with great respect for the awesome power of electricity

Re: We Talk About Career. What Influences Your Career Choice? by Dyt(f): 8:39am On Apr 12, 2016
Thinking
What influenced it oo

Right from when I was a kid
I dreamt of being a Lawyer/Jurist cos I talk too much and its been associated with the said career

I did jamb like 2 times and no admission
Wanted go through the diploma route but dunno what happened I changed course to business admin, my uncle said no do economics, another uncle said marketing is selling every where
So I finally went for marketing
Finished and decided to take it to the field
As a jovial and down to earth woman
It attracted all what and not cheesy
So I quit the street and took on the other part of marketing which is customer service

So in all
My personality influenced what I do presently
You can't always find that one better for that job than me
I will simply blow your mind away

My house was robbed when I was five years old. While everyone was scared of the armed robbers with the big guns, I was in awe

Today I'm a passionate international armed robber. Glory be to God
