1st Class and 2.1 is the reason many intelligent graduates are having slow career growth. You get your first job at age 25, promotion at age 28, the next promotion at 32 and so on and so forth. Before you know it, you've clocked 50. Your mate with a 2.2 knows it's hard to get an entry level job due to stiff competition. The smart ones go for small jobs, build capacity and required competencies or go for Masters immediately after NYSC, get a small paying job. Five years later they come to your company as experienced hire and way above your own grade. That's the story of many folks that I know. Summary: It's not how far BUT how well! N.B: Your class of degree becomes irrelevant after 3-4 years of working. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Certificates have not lost value and become as useless as cardboard paper. The op assertion is a lie from the big pit of helll, an effort to make people lose respect for time spent pursuing academic achievement. The reality is that if you have invested great effort in university and diligently acquire knowledge, your opportunity will come. You need to remain optimistic and keep working to improve yourself. I have been a graduate myself who spent quite a time on the sideline before being productively engage and now on the upward ascent in my career. Young people have to understand that life is getting harder and only those who prove their mettle in providing solutions to problems will be looked out for. I have been a member of panel who interviewed some graduates for a position and I must be honest that many graduate are shallow and know not much about what they have gone to school to study. This remains impediment to many getting job. Money is hard to get and no one throws money at anyone because they like his face. It is your ability to solve people's problem that earn you money. University education provides a wonderful opportunity to gain knowledge and while in school, undergraduates should devote their energy into acquiring tangible knowledge. No one shoukd give up on his/her God's given dream. Keep working on yourself and keep believing that at the right time, the door of opportunity will open if you prepare yourself ready.

Rapmoney:Half-truth. While some companies don't give 2.2 graduates a chance, many others still employ 2.2 graduates. The graduate should apply to companies or institutions that employ 2.2 graduates and also upgrade with professional qualifications, relevant skills and postgraduate programs. A young graduate should not despise the days of small beginnings. With perseverance, focus, and God's grace he will eventually succeed. The beginning may truly be tough. Weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning. |

Rapmoney: Brother, not really religion, it is the grace of Almighty God that connects/position someone to the right place, you know what, I graduated from Laspotech with Lower credit in 2009, jobless for few years later got a job in Lekki in 2017 with just 70kpeanut, 1year later I was promoted to head all the department in the company, my salary is x6 of the previous pay and I have 3 first class graduates working under me, in fact I was the one that employed them, the grace of God is ever sufficient, it does not need your degree or any qualification 18 Likes 1 Share |

Rapmoney:OP may God bless you for this topic you created, same I have been advising them. In today's Nigeria there's no difference between a bachelor degree holder and SSCE holder. I studied biochemistry and graduate with upper division back it up with a master degree but I couldn't find a job and feeding then was a problem till I diverted my attention to computer and programming there I find my fortune and now realise that what I am today I would have been better without going to the university. 5 Likes 1 Share |
