They should go to hell. After my HND,I went for NYSC. Little did I know what was in store for me at the labour market. With my upper credit, I combed Lagos State believing I'll find it easy getting a fine job but I soon realised I could not get those I love. I left Lagos for my state with regret. I was lucky to be employed with civil service shortly. Though I was placed at par as graduate, I learnt that HND can only get to level 14 before they retire whereas Bsc can get to level 16. I felt a need to do academic master degree after getting Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) maybe I can be offered a lecturing position but I was not admitted after buying form just because of the HND. As if that was not enough,I sought for Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON)exam. For those who don't know, after passing this exam, one can become Admin officer (and ultimately Director and Permanent Secretary), Accountant etc in all Government establishments. I was again not allowed to write this exam just because I hold HND. So I have now vowed to be working as a civil servant while also writing books that I sell but knowing fully well that HND holders cannot rise to the top their career in civil service unless something is done.

You are what you think you are, not what you are called by someone else. Move on my friend but not to hell oh! The sky is enough for birds with ideas to manoeuvre and fly.

I want to make it clear to hnd holders that even bsc holders are suffering from unemployment in the nigeria of today.
