That you can't of what to do with yourself is a sign of incompetence, Look inward and pray hard for divine direction.... Nairalanders cannot help... Meanwhile

Op, are you sure you're a philosopher? because if you're a philosopher you will know how philosophy had exposed people mind and thought intellectually to be independent of theirselves when I'm being confidence that I can't work under anybody but you're here lamenting for employment how much can this employer give you that would cater for your needs? when would you start to build your wealth being a "civil servant" as far as am concern, philosophy had proved to me that education isn't just all about employment but for empowerment I'm a proud philosophy graduate... 6 Likes 1 Share |

Young on a serious note philosophy is not appreciated in Africa. That is why we are backward in everything but don't be dismayed. I studied philosophy too and wrote tests for Shell and NNPC. I passed the test for NNPC but as soon as Bubu came he employed his people. Try and develop yourself in the absence of a job, lecture now but I have a diploma in software and Web development as well a ÑIM certificate. You can thrive anywhere. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I have a BA in Philosophy and have worked in sectors that include the media, bilateral trade, information and communication technology, aviation, investment banking, consulting, FMCG and development finance. My wife also studied philosophy - she works for a tech firm. My course-of-study/degree certificate did not get me my first job. Fledging writing skill and extra-curricula activity in the university working on several editorial boards did. The rest as they say is history. My thoughts: Seek professional certification in PR (NIPR), Advertising (APCON), Marketing (NIMN), HR (CIPM), Digital Marketing (Free Google trainings), Journalism (NUJ) etc. While seeking your choice certification, volunteer for free with an organisation in your area of interest to build capacity and acquire requisite skills... And everything good will come! 4 Likes |

I studied philosophy too. And I filled Philosophy in my JAMB form. 1st and 2nd choices.! I was departmental President in my final year so the freshers used to come to me and ask: 'where can I work when I graduate?' I used to tell them that Philosophy is a tool that you can use for many things and anything you wish to use it for. You know Presido must have answer now! Lol! I gave the above response in order to say something AND also because it is true. The issue of career in this day and time has much to do with your passion and that unique contribution you can make, whether in business, politics, non profit, etc. As someone suggested you may take a professional cause in some career line that interest you. Also there are firms who want a smart graduate who can add value to their organization regardless of course of study. I know such firms may be few. As for me I have a career in organization architecture. I help build effective human systems. All the best. 5 Likes |

Grammywinner: Apply to graduate school in US. You should consider MA in courses like Sociology, Criminology, Pol. Sc., Econs, Public Policy, and apply to jobs in NGOs, research firms, prison services, etc. when you are done. You are better off outside Nigeria. Good luck. |

There are jobless lawyer still. What you study in university should be a foundation if you graduated from non professional discipline. Nothing is guaranty even if you study medicine. My ex girlfriend studied speech pathology and is she jobless. She is an American in studied in one of the best university in her state. The reality is simple, identify your passion and go for it. if it's your passion, you will always find a way to excel in it. @ Op, As much i would love to advice you to go into professional certifications, that does not guaranty you a job still. What i will advice you is to deep search your soul and find your passion and you are good to go... africandictator: 1 Like |
