I went to check my final result during clearance few days ago and i realize i finally graduated with 2:2.i have not been happy since then,a lot of thought going through my mind.Thinking about labor market and how i am going to cope,i'm really perplexed.

Any advise for me?i graduated from mechanical engineering dept.

Which Hand Work are u skilled at ? I can't rule out the fact that grade doesn't matter but be versatile learn some handwork do some professional courses and the sky would be your starting point. Make good use of your nysc and life is going to be sweet

Life tries to put us down but nothing forbids us to rise again.
Was also in your shoes some 4 years ago, but i had one thing in mind (i will not give up). Used my service year to start a professional course (try doing one in your field of expertise during service, you never know who you might meet in tutorial and exam centres).
Then after service year, dont limit your job search to a few industries, expand your horizon.

Finally, a lot of people will make you feel like you dont have sense, telling u career job is poo and tins like dt, there is nothing wrong in seeking jobs man.

It's too early to be depressed. You never even go NYSC (Now your struggle continues) grin

Truth is a 2.2 is not the end of the world, just limits certain blue chip job offers.
My advice, learn a soft skill or professional course, especially during your NYSC. Nigerian HR worships certificates so you might want to up ur CV during ur NYSC.
That said, cheer up labour market is only hard if you make it so. Build your contacts too, you'll need your friends with job opportunities too. All the best.

Since your GP is above 3, you can start preparing for Masters. You can still get jobs but not fromthe big coy for now

My dear 2:2 is not a bad result, u dnt need to feel depressed. U actually gave it ur all, it could av been worse, but u salvaged it. Keep ur head up, dnt ever doubt ur worth, and dnt let anyone make u feel bad, be proud of this achievement and celebrate every little thing about yourself. U will go places as long as u dnt limit urself out of self pity. Well wishes

You would have struggled more to reach 3.5

But its not the end of the world.

2.2 is not a bad result,a lot of people out there doing great came out with the-same result or even less than that. why not try do some professional courses or go for master's so as to enhance your educational level. visit www.studylocal.ng to seek for professional assistance to help you find the best program for your qualifications.

Any advise for me?i graduated from mechanical engineering dept.

1. Learn skills like auto repairs, refrigeration and HVAC installation, heavy duty power plant maintenance and repairs, welding building construction, piping, and instrumentationetc. Don't underestimate these skills. And try to get a trade test cert in them.

2. Proceed to get certified in HSE, project management, NSE and COREN certifications.

3. Also get to do an MBA and/or MSC.
4. Trust in God and don't underestimate men and women you meet anywhere.
5. Sell yourself your skills your vision to people anywhere and anytime you're given that opportunity


The big fish will start hunting you after these. Trust me!

Let's meet at the top smiley

@aktem

2.2 from mechanical engineering is not exactly bad, especially if you finished with a gp of above 3 out of 5.
Stop worrying. You can't undo it.
Go for nysc and try to gain relevant work experience, even if u r assigned to a school look for an engineering/ construction coy around you and volunteer to work free to gain some little experience. Apply to good schools abroad for post grad. You'll get tuition free schools for engineering. Before you know it, you will forget about d 2.2 thing.

You're not even happy you graduated. Be grateful to God. Get your act together. Acquire more skills, get active on social media, include your skills and degree in your bio/profile,meet people, be nice to them, answer strangers questions intelligently, spell things correctly even if it's an informal writing, dress like a decent person, etc. These little little things are the things that Matter most. Not just having a good result.

Degree has nothing to do with your destiny bro


Learn business


Nowadays degrees are meant for the drawer



Its what remains after your degree is taken from you that defines you
