Good day great intellectuals of Nairaland.

Overtime, I have seen people on this forum address issues on/for/about people with 2.2 and 3rd class and advice them on what to do next, however neglecting the 2.1 and 1st class category.

As a recent graduate, the future looks bleak. I would like matured advice on the next step and how to move forward from here. As you know, every decision at this point is quite critical.

If u graduated with a 2:1 in engineering and u don't no what next for your life, then there's a problem. How do u want people to no what next for u when u don't no what next for yourself?

This is a question students should ask themselves while in school.

Don't wait until after.

What were you doing in school then?

Start applying for Masters scholarships in countries like Germany, Canada, USA, Australia etc. There is a shortage of skilled professionals in Germany especially in the STEM sector. Do not limit the scope of your future to only Nigeria.

There is a lot in the future for you.

What are your target job prospect?
In what ways can IT help to develop it?
While others may go for mainstream engineering approach, I suggest you understand the IT part, develop simple and efficient approach, patient it and earn satisfaction and money.
Meanwhile you can be working in an organisation while doing it.

5years in school studying a course and you still don't know what next? A truly intelligent person would never ask that.

Very good comment.

Questions like this are common on Nairaland and you tend to wonder if Nigerian youth even know why they went to school in the first instance.

One thing I know is, the moment a vulcanizer apprentice finishes his service, he knows the next thing for him is to go in search of a space by the road side. But for a Nigerian graduate MBA!.

The fact is only very few are still out of their NAPPY.

As an engineer in this new age, you must know how to program.

That should be your immediate developmental goal besides having practical knowledge of whatever field of engineering you are interested in.

Go on Udemy and YouTube for resources.

Statistically, graduating with a 1st class or 2:1 in Nigeria is a sentence to a life of misery. You will most likely end up in a mediocre job if you are lucky, working for someone (or worse still your mate) who had a 2:2 or a third class and you will end up paying 10% of your mediocre salary to a church started by a "born again" pastor who did drugs and partied while you were studying and had to drop out of school!!

Welcome to the reality of Nigerian education in the 21st century!!

My humble advice I want to give you is that, don’t allow your academic achievement gets in your head. Start thinking, I mean really thinking. What do you want? don’t allow anyone to do the thinking for you. Once you know what you want, invest your time to do through research about the thing you want to do. After, whatever it take to achieve that thing, be it time or money, invest massively on it to be employed or starting your own business. I will suggest invest in digital skills- coding or anything that will add values your life.

That's the shocking reality today.

So many of our undergraduates are so directionless.

I just pity them knowing the hopelessness that awaits so many them when they finally manage to graduate.
