7 "Downsides" Of Being A First Class Graduate In Nigeria by JARUSHUB: 11:22am On Dec 15, 2016 |
1, More will be expected of you at interviews. 2, If you did not do well in a job test, it will be the headline when an HR Manager is interviewed: “First Class Graduates Fail NNPC Test” blabla. 3, People expect you to know everything in your field, forgetting you had a first class only in your first degree, it doesn’t make you a professor yet! 4, You will be expected to know everything , even outside your field, beyond basics. In fact, they will tell you they’ve seen a First Class Accounting graduate that cannot build a car! 5, The number of first class applicants for jobs will always be a headline (like the FIRS job news, which inspired this post, anyway). 6, The entrepreneurship noise makers expect every first class to be self-employed or be an entrepreneur, otherwise, they’re corporate slaves. 7, You must be rich. They will use you as example of their friend that made first class and is not rich. They will ask you which grade Dangote made. It doesn’t matter to them that not everyone is motivated by money.

Who first class ep. Dragging My 2.2 jare. After all no be first class be competence. Its a good thing to be viewed as an outstanding Individual but I assure you Intellect is not Judged by grade. This is A country where you are short changed,your marks downgraded by Some lecturer because his own lecturer did the same to him. It creates a hate cycle. The system is rotten. 23 Likes 1 Share |

Lol. But after all this, the benefits of having a first class degree outweigh the 'disadvantages'. So I'm going to keep struggling to maintain mine. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

Kendzyma:Classic response, Kendzyma!!! But with reference to the topic of discussion, it is only natural for such top-class graduates to keep in mind that "To whom much is given, much will be required." And to those on the other side of the spectrum, “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” 11 Likes |

No downside, stop encouraging mediocrity. I give first class materials priority. I have 3 of them in my team. If you can have it, just do. 17 Likes 3 Shares |

Most first class student end up becoming Lecturers... and you know what it means to be a lecturer in Nigeria? I wish the class of degree also determine your level of wealth. But If you can have a first Class in street school, you are more successful than having a first class in our conventional university... Graduates from street school drive this. 8 Likes 1 Share

AntiWailer: First class in university is meaningless abeg. I have noticed that the best performers in my organisations are people with either 2.2 or 2.1. The only first class student we had could not work with people....only good with analysis on computer....which anyone could do. How many billionares have first class?
