Study what will make you self employed. Most of us that study practical oriented course are employers of labour today. The problem is lack of orientation, everyone want to study business admin, mass com, insurance, political science etc study what will make you stand alone!!!

Think money, not jobs. You can ask; How can I make money without a job ? The answer is.....You are at it. Think outside the box.

Sometimes I want to regret going to school because arguably I still fail to see the reasons or benefits of going to school. Yesterday a friend of mine whose parents took him to learn electrical on cars after primary school, went to withdraw 1.5m to purchase a jeep. His story building is near completion, married and blessed with 2 wonderful kids. We all know what it takes to have a story building in Lagos. This my friend barely reads a simple sentence.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not envious of him rather I'm happy but today, I'd to take a seat and remembered how he convinced me to join him in learning this same handiwork that has made him the prospective landlord and car owner that he's today while I chose to go to school to acquire a certificate only to have graduated and served fathers land without a job to even make boast of. I also have some friends who dropped after secondary school, today they are all married and living good...

It's kinda annoying and I don't know if to say regrettable for going to school because it has not even paid off. The annoying aspect self is most jobs today can't even foot one's expenses and bills due to the hash economy and almost every job you get today is contract base, so one begins to think what is the purpose of spending several years reading without any tangible benefit awaiting stresslessly.

my broda d problem is dat d structure of our education is bad.imagine parents telling you to go to school and make good grades in order to get a good job...dat is colonial education mentality.
education should prepare for life n solving problems but here we end up cramming witout d ability to solving problems.
wat we need in Nigeria is a functional education

In this case, is meterlugy and material engineering ok? Cos that's the cos I was offered t0o study in futa,

afanda:
@ OP don't feel bad. I'll advice you go back and get additional qualification if you can afford it. Like someone rightly said there's a word called "Destiny". Someday you will look back and give God the glory. I did.

I do not mean to sound condescending, but if you spent 4-5 years in a University despite hearing stories of the situation in the labour market; I don't understand why you are regretting your actions now.

I believe you were hopeful that you would achieve something great with your degree after leaving school, well now that you're out you shouldn't lose hope. The struggles might be hard at first, but with determination and conscious efforts, you'll get through.

However, if you decide that regret is what you would engage yourself in now instead of taking the bull by the horn; then I have no pity for you.

You make it seem like everyone who goes to learn a trade makes it big. There is something called destiny, believing in it while doing the best you possible can would help you live a life with less regret.

Empero1:
Op and his ilks are a disgrace to the word " education". Enough of this distortion of fact and self pity all of you non productive formally educated illiterates always exhibit at any given opportunity. For crying out loud, the world owe you nothing. For one, the fact that you took the route of tertiary formal education with hope to advance and better your life while another fellow took the route of self-education and informal education to advance and better his own life doesn't make you a better educated person and worthy citizen than the latter.

I have come to know unproductive educated illiterates for superior complex ish. As I always say, "if you can't convert your knowledge to fortune,then you are an educated illiterate-financial. Knowledge is the key power to make wealth." Also, "if you can't convert your supposed superior knowledge to job creation without waiting for someone to employ you so that you can become parasite with sense of entitlement for fat salary which you are not ready to give equal and proportion service to earn, then you are in same class with a slowpoke only difference being that you glossed your own brainlessness with mastery of a language". Take the following from me:

- I have never seen someone that's a master to his art (procedurally not declarative) that's chronically unemployed and pauper. So, anyone out there that is chronically poor or unemployed, tell yourself truth that the reason why you're not doing good is because you do not have procedural master to your acquired art. After telling yourself this bitter truth, then consider to retrain yourself in your chosen line of art but if outdated master a new act.

Wat is the possibility of building his own storey building nd cruising a four wheel drive in another 2yrs..

Education in nigeria is jst over hyped...

I think you need some ideas on emotional intelligence!

Empero1:


Obviously, you're a proponent of self-pity. Don't pick on me.

AgapeCharis:
Truth be told, a degree does not and will never bring money. Education might but your degree will give you nada! It's high time we stop giving some hecks about some A4 paper they call a degree. - they don't pay bills. Don't get it twisted. I have a university degree and I'm going to make sure my children get theirs but never will they rely on some fvcking job to be able to live comfortably and touch lives positively.


The richest men in the world aren't salary earners.

Can't even tell exactly who to blame, the parent? Yourself? Or the country? All i can say is @ every end of a tunnel is a light . Even Jesus suffered before he enjoying all he suffered for.

If a man facing hard times still assumed his present location a comfort zone, then he need all the hard truth he can get from logical beings to look out for a true destination of his longing comfort zone.
