No, I didn't study in Nigeria.

You chose a great course of study. Just be good at what you do. Best of luck.

Thanks, but why aren't you a regular in the programming section.
My guesses are, you don't code, you are more like a developer's advocate.

Haha... a developer's advocate. Is that actually a role?

I've been on NL for about 10 years. 6/7 years ago, I was very active on the programming section and I made some friends there.

Oh my bad.
It's just that some developers out there have the tag "developer's advocate" and they literally don't code at the job.
So I guessed you might be one of them.

You are ignorant, Entrepreneurship is the core pillar of career exploit. In your mind Entrepreneurship is equal to buying and selling but that is not the case. A Lawyer who set up a chamber and a Doctor who set up a hospital after graduation is all Entrepreneurs but are linearly within the orbit of their professional competence.

How would get the money to open a hospital as a young graduate or how can you get a client as an independent lawyer. Bros you need to learn the ropes by working for someone for a while irrespective of the profession except you want to go into buying and selling.

[quote author=Rickbronz post=100211326]If you graduate from a university and you come out looking for someone to employ you, then you are one of the problems of this country. With the knowledge and enlightenment you've gained from school, you should be the one employing and empowering people.
There are several businesses one can start building now which requires little capital but with a potential for massive returns in the long run. [/quote

I actually got a contract job at a bank in Lagos,
I didn't perform so well there. I was sacked within a year on the job. I was very close to getting a proper job as a core staff at a bank, January, till I was denied the opportunity at the very last stage! For no just reason. I am still searching

I never did but I'm doing great. I have to thank God for giving me the initiative to go to an ICT college immediately after uni as soon as got the info that service was going to be delayed for 2 years. Now I have a contract with a tech company abroad and I'm doing fine. Never expect a good job in Nigeria. If it happens, thank God.
