Good day honourably Nairalanders.

Let me start this way; While I was growing up as a kid, even though my family wasn't rich enough but average is the word and we cool like that. I thought life would always be fun. I mean no struggles, easy money, joy and everything that makes a man happy but most importantly money. My parent made education my and our only priority (besides i am not the only child but first) that when I got to the University, I had no skill, no side hustle, nothing, just me in the school, waiting on my family for funds. So I didn't see it as a crime not to have one and whenever I thought of having one, sooner or later, I have forgotten that kind of thought. Fast forward to today, glory be to God, I made an excellent result outta the school and I'm currently serving. Remember my family is average and they gotta fend for the rest. Now it has dawn on me. For the past 5months, it has been me and me alone with so so many sheges for real + my siblings looking up to me and I tell you, 25years, I hardly feed myself to talk of another party. Although they ain't really pressuring me yet but the small 2k, big brother finds difficult to render. Someone would ask, you're receiving 33k and had been receiving, what happened to it? Well, it's a nice question but a very simple answer is, it's not enough and don't even let me break it down for you. It's more than you imagined. So back to discussion, now I see the disadvantage of not having any source of income/skills and I'm really pained whenever I think about it. This has been my source of depression lately when I see others making money from their respective handwork, me I have nothing but I have refused to give up that's why I'm coming out to express myself. I know it's never late. The only mistake is I didn't start earlier. Call it ignorance and whatever yeah but I know it's never late😭😭😭 *I'm pained for real*

So I have decided within myself and I've come up with a list of skill(s) I wish to acquire. But I don't really know much and I want to seek y'all opinion on which path should I take. I'm willing to take 2 as a MUST if not all but first thing first, what do y'all advise on these various skills/work?

1.DSTV installation
2.Phone and laptop repair
3.Solar power installation
4.Aluminum Doors and Windows Installation
5.Electrician & House Wiring
6.Photography

NB: although the list is not limited, you can add yours if you know it's best. I will appreciate every input.

Notice there is no digital skills? I can't think of any for now as I don't have enough money to buy gadgets if at all. I don't own a good phone, (3gb ram + 16gb) and I don't have a laptop. Well, you can also recommend, God is a miracle worker, I will add 'em to my to-do list.

Thank you and God bless you. Amen

Hello,

NYSC usually has a skill acquisition program. If the one in your state is accessable, won't it be less expensive learning a skill from them?

If I'm in your shoes, I will narrow the skills down to 2,3,5.

Most importantly, start learning about money and marketing.

Also don't write off a good job. Prepare well for interviews and job search.

Ultimately, start saving towards a good phone, afterwards a laptop. They are important to your money quests.

When you do, download and read good books on money, career, businesses marketing. Don't read just to consume knowledge. Read, organize the information, break it into action plans, set it into systems to measure how well you are doing.

Next, look for sought after digital skills, weather you get a paid employment or earning through traditional skills. There are free resources on YouTube to start from.

Do same thing as suggested when gleaning gold from good books. Set a system to measure your learning process.

Digital skills I will suggest are: Data analytics, Digital marketing, Programming, Content writing.

All the best.
