The problem most of us (youths) have is that, we wait till we graduate before we decide the next step. It is better you check your strengths and weekness while in school and build on it.

Like someone put up there, I am jack of all trade. While in school, I bought the thumb print gadget here on NL, got a sincere guy that sold Jamb recharge cards and viola, I stated registration for regularization. My own was even the cheapest and I was close to so many students. I raked in good cash.

I later realized, my people are lazy, I capitalize on that to start doing group assignments, projects and the likes. Till date, I still get contacted to do all these jobs while still hustling to get a job.

I also learnt travelling runs while I stayed in Lagos with a friend, and God has used me to get 8 people into US and Canada. I can call it luck but it worked due to mastering of some basic stuffs. In traveling, there are lots of hidden jobs if you're trustworthy. Till date, those folks abroad give me clients.

I learnt writing on NL. I did some little writings on NL. Still busy with some projects now. When am done with projects, I go back to writing.

I have done little buying and selling. I started with harddrives. I get it a cheap rate here and sell to students and lectures.

Presently, learning how to transcribe.

Op, lots of ways to survive as a youth. I would give you a joker that has been working for me all these while.

You see NL, it's full of many opportunities, check yourself and try to lay your hands to anything that you like. Check all the forums and see where you can learn. Don't rush and don't be hasty to make big money. It would come gradually at least to pay bills till you get a job and evem when you get one, it would continue to be a side hustle.

I can tell you that, I owe this platform alot. I have assisted few but I wish it was much bigger. Oneday, I would do something big to appreciate NL.

Hustle continues.

I survive writing for various blogs even though the pay is poor. Imagine writing 1 naira per word... 800words is equivalent to 800naira. Can you imagine the mental effort and time demanding such write up could be?? Yet, atimes after collection our write up, some will block us on whatsapp.

Christmas went just like that but I am hoping to get a gig, before new year... Make I fit buy Malt or very chilled coke. Man must survive

thats what fela called DOUBLE WHALAH FOR DEADI BODYI


Have you tried writing for foreign clients? Clients that are ready to pay you up to $50 per 1,000 words. Although that price is on the low side of the spectrum, it will be a big upgrade to your current pay of N1/word.

Some people are working but would say they're are unemployed.We have to redefine unemployment. Take this B.sc (Science Education) holder who claims to be employed because he doesn't hold a brief case and head for office every morning. This a guy that's a master "cake boy" and rakes in more money from delivering beautiful home-made cakes than any employer can pay him. Is this guy unemployed in the real sense of the word?

What he (the guy you quoted) meant by "Jama Jama" are : temporary jobs that are not sustainable. Example is a contract job for transporting materials or something else.

These jobs are not consistent but when they come, they take care of feeding.

Like someone put up there, I am jack of all trade. While in school, I bought the thumb print gadget here on NL, got a sincere guy that sold Jamb recharge cards and viola, I stated registration for regularization. My own was even the cheapest and I was close to so many students. I raked in good cash.

I later realized, my people are lazy, I capitalize on that to start doing group assignments, projects and the likes. Till date, I still get contacted to do all these jobs while still hustling to get a job.

I also learnt travelling runs while I stayed in Lagos with a friend, and God has used me to get 8 people into US and Canada. I can call it luck but it worked due to mastering of some basic stuffs. In traveling, there are lots of hidden jobs if you're trustworthy. Till date, those folks abroad give me clients.

I learnt writing on NL. I did some little writings on NL. Still busy with some projects now. When am done with projects, I go back to writing.

I have done little buying and selling. I started with harddrives. I get it a cheap rate here and sell to students and lectures.

Presently, learning how to transcribe.

Op, lots of ways to survive as a youth. I would give you a joker that has been working for me all these while.

You see NL, it's full of many opportunities, check yourself and try to lay your hands to anything that you like. Check all the forums and see where you can learn. Don't rush and don't be hasty to make big money. It would come gradually at least to pay bills till you get a job and evem when you get one, it would continue to be a side hustle.

I can tell you that, I owe this platform alot. I have assisted few but I wish it was much bigger. Oneday, I would do something big to appreciate NL.
