Good day Nairalanders, i just want to pour out my heavy heart. Pardon any grammatical error as am not in the right frame of mind right now.

Am the first son of my parents and has younger siblings, i graduated from the university in 2017 and proceeded to serve the nation. Even before graduation i prayed and hoped to be employed after school cos my dad retired from Civil service that same year i graduated, I've lost count of the number of applications submitted.

I had to opt for a teaching job in a private school immediately after service hoping that a better job will come, as teachers we weren't paid during the lock down and some of us were laid off. With my teaching salary i could barely live well and send something to my family..then imagine being completely unemployed. I was so depressed and had so many thoughts running through my head.

Fast forward to present, am currently teaching in another private school with so much stress and little pay. Am so fed up with teaching job, I'm 30 years old, the first child, younger siblings under me and my parents that now farm to survive. At my age i don't have an apartment of my own (been squatting with someone after service), no good job. In 2019 i missed my convocation because i couldn't pay the 30k convocation fee plus am a complete shadow of myself, looking so thin.
All i ever wanted was to get a good job and be able to take care of my family. I can't take care of myself not to talk of planning to build my own family later on.
Life is so unfair
Mod please help move to FP.

Go on freelance site as a computer scientist, you should be able to see a gig on fever or upwork

Go on Jiji and other classified apps, and see any service you can offer

Join WhatsApp group of real estate agent, and help them post rent and property for sale using your social media, if you get a customer as an agent it's instant commission

Major thing is market yourself desperately

he can solicit the help of friends, family or people that may be able to help and they'll fund him.

You think it is everyone that started a business or enterprise in life that did it with their own money?

Even the dangote of today borrowed money to start.
