I would use myself as an example. 2013/2014 UTME I was undecided about the course I wanted to study. Various talks about medicine and engineering was springing up here and there. Deep down I wanted to study animals NOT HUMANS( HUMANS ARE HIGHER ANIMALS). I talked to my parents about veterinary medicine and they were apathetic to it. So I decided to go for medicine. I aced it 300 and I also aced the post Utme. Teens of nowadays don't know how to read and waste their time on frivolous things and this is very annoying when I see them.
My classmates were hailing me Doc!!!. The thing sweet me for body make I no lie even girls gum body die and me chop my portion sha. I realised the medicine I wanted wasn't cut out for me so I opted out of it before I even started. They were saying I was crazy and this was the best decision I ever made.
I went to learn Electrical work and I enjoyed it. Many of my classmates hated me for these but now they are proud of me. I worked hard and made a lot of money ehn. I wanted more so I went to Maritime academy but before that I wrote SSCE and had to fill in Commercial subjects and I passed it one time . I went to study Logistics and Transport Management. I came out with flying colors. I decided to work for a foreign company managing their Warehouse and containers and was doing contract for Business Men and I am still doing it.
My mates that were in a hurry to go to school ended up studying Geography, Geology, statisticsBiochemistry, SLT, Anatomy and physiology and many more. I was telling them to learn a skill and they tought I was speaking French. The other guy who finished from Mechanical engineering is earning with his Aluminium skill and making tons of cash and has boys working under him.
I would have saved more than enough for my relocation to Canada to study Veterinary medicine by next year God keeping in essence learn a skill.
