Tanks OP. this is what I have been telling unemployed graduates. drop that pride and learn a skill gone are the days when being a graduate is a big deal. I went to Abuja last year and saw how graduates are hovering every where with there certificate like vultures and I wept for this country. learn a skill and help your life!

mrnwas:
The young man you're seeing is a craftsman.
Today he made over #10,000 just fixing keys to doors in one of the sites I'm managing.

The other day, I met a graduate whom I paid #8,000 for some odd jobs.

And that's how they make their money.

On another site, I have Mr Pedro who has been contracted to handle all tiling jobs for the entire building.

Its a block of 5 flats, he's going to fix tiles all around the building. Guess what his pay is? He's gonna earn some #210,000

I asked Mr Pedro how long its gonna take him to complete the job, he promised to hand me the keys in 5 days.

So in 6 days, Mr Pedro would have earned 210,000 for himself, I supply the water he needs, I provide all the necessary materials needed for the job.

He'll earn #210,000 for the things he can do with both his hands, all he came with was a tape and a piece of paper, he's also currently on site, but the most Important tool he wields is his cutter, spirit level, a Pincer, chisel, shovel and his working clothes.

Now this is why I've been saying you'll earn more when you have more skills than a degree.

The guy on the pics is an ND Holder, today he made some #10,000 tomorrow I will use him again and pay him almost the same amount.

Adding that up, he would have made some #20,000 in 2 days. How much does an average worker make in a month?

Some white color jobs won't even pay you up to #85,000, yet its what we read for, fight for, drink garri for, we even sleep under the cold wind at night just to grab this certificate.

To me, I think vocation is still the best no matter what. Even if we're gonna be offered some paper called certificate, let's also bag some skill along with the degree.

Degree is good, but you'll earn more with a skill. The white people that are guarded with 4 armed men, carried on a fully air conditioned hilux, treated like some god don't even have a degree.

They're white, yes but all they have is some 6 months certificate on a particular skill.

Let me go an bathe now, work was fine today
I hope you learnt from all these?

exactly, let me use myself as an example. I'm studying economics and at the same time going to a fashion school (part time) using one stone to kill two birds. I want to be self employed before I graduate. I'm also into beads and gele. I want to urge everyone to grab any slightest opportunity, even if it's weekend training. I'm based in Enugu

[color=][/color]The duo are good, going to school is also learning a skill.

Pure vocational skill is good as well.

No artisan will come to work for you for free.

As an office man, you make your money, you needed the service of an artisan, you call on them and pay them for the service.

It is just a world of circulation. If you don't make the money available, artisan are also jobless. [b]The duo are good, going to school is also learning a skill.

For most times skilled people always prosper regardless of economic conditions.

People will always need food, shelter and clothing.

During economic downtown the quantity might reduce but will not become zero. Running around looking for someone to make you an employee is like looking for a parent.

Learn to be self employed and provide services. Our youth can spend all day browsing blogs but will not spend the time to investigate business ideas; what services are needed and what skills are in demand. Always asking questions and being lazy.

So the Artesians are getting paid much more relative to graduates

Do you know that it is 20times difficult to get a job than it was in 2015?

Do you know that by 2020 ,people would be going to school for nothing in Nigeria because it would be extremely difficult to get a job?

Do you know that 95% of Nlders are jobless youths? it is not their fault but the result of the ocean of corruption Nigeria is.

Getting skills is very vital. But the problem is, getting the right skills. It also takes some time to learn a good skill.
I still think technical skills are some of the best types you can get, especially IT related. Go to a good institution to learn it and do an internship with a good person.
