Graduating With Second Class Lower Is No Longer An Option - Vincent Adeoba by vadeoba: 12:41pm On Feb 20, 2018 |
I have been encouraging undergraduates in my engagements especially on campuses not to consider second class lower (2:2) any longer as a grade to graduate with. The Nigeria labour market is competitive more than ever before and to think you will get your dream job with second class lower grade may be impossible.

you are right in a way, especially those that have no connections. h/ever graduating with a 2:2 doesn't mean the person did not work hard. Some students worked hard to get a grade of 2:2, we all have our limits and limitations. 110 Likes 3 Shares |

Actually the first person to get a Job from my class after we graduated from school was the only third class graduate amongst us. The second guy who barely got a 2.2 now works in his father's company. Many of the 2.1s are still at home. I'm not trying to encourage mediocrity but the Nigerian labour market is more complex that y'all think. 180 Likes 5 Shares |

HigherEd:Exactly! I even know about three Ph.D holders, without jobs. Some of those who are already employed, are even under-employed meaning they are doing jobs meant for people with lower qualifications, and far lesser levels of experience! 24 Likes 1 Share |

AnodaIT:Forget Masters?' When most of those that are still job hunting are already Masters' degree holders? I thought you would ask them to get a professional qualification in addition to their existing qualifications.... but not ask them to forget Masters! 9 Likes 1 Share |

My friend graduated with second class lower division (2.2) and he got employed at a multinational oil&gas firm, he did professional courses worth 850k in Lagos last year before he could secured the job last year without any connection, so brother try network yourself in all ramifications and never see yourself as a second fiddle. 47 Likes 3 Shares |

Nice one. If you are still in school and can make 2-1 , just go for it. If u can no longer make 2-1 or already graduated with 2-2. Start making excuses like the poster above me. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

I graduated with 2.9 it was so painful though at then, i threw away the certificate (in my box) then face life squarely, working as an independent web designer, freelancer, and above all a die hard blogger hahahahahaha. I can boast of a bungalow that cost over 9million Above all i make 360k monthly Any body that tells u your certification is 100% tied to your success I beg you disagree with such a fellow 60 Likes 3 Shares |

Same same story. 2:1 doesn't guarantee any job. It was a great leverage over a decade ago but not any longer. There are thousands of Nigerians with 2:1 roaming about the streets or who are forcing themselves to do masters. What having 2:1 does is that you will be able to get more invitations for tests than those with lower. The tricky part is that you will always meet thousands of people with similar grades or with first class at those test centres and hear me right: you are all competing for maybe 100 slots or less. Some of you will get to 4th stage and won't get the job because of the competition. The funny part is that those who graduated with 2:2 many times would have moved on to better things while those with better grades would be expecting feedbacks from the Shells, Schlumbegers, KPMGs, Nestles of this world and if they are not careful, before blinking, 2 years of their lives would have gone. By all means study hard and make good grades but that is just the beginning. Some of you are destined to travel out to study, some to work in banks, some with government, some others in oil companies and other multinationals. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

--------- Yes Most Blue chip companies and Graduate trainee stuffs cut off those with 2:2 Etc......and some opportunities like scholarships and the rest requires 2:1 things, but that's where it ends In my working life and in some areas like TECH Space, what counts is "What you know" and "What you can do" and not 2:1 AND THE REST. As the OP's advised everyone, not just those with 2:2 needs a side hustle a business, something that brings in something else and add that extra to your income. Do your home work well.... Be determined to pull it through Get a functioning online presence for it and you're good to go 3 Likes
