Thanks bro...n I wish u best of luck in ur quest of grooming ursef to become a man. However, always remember ur parents ar ur #1 alternative in difficult moment cus trust me there sure will be difficult moment and the 2nd quarter of ur quest is likely to be the most difficult part. Don't be discouraged when it gets hot instead keep ur head straight and prayer more. Also don't mute ur mouth, always tell somebody to tell somebody u r in search of a career job.

Note: Don't see any comment here as an advise u must follow (all comments are just suggestions) be sure of yourself before proceeding. Things I ll suggest u balance before deciding are:

1. Check ur present family capability n financial status (if u go home will u b a burden or not)?


2. Check urself, how strong r u to cope the hard moment ahead of u?

3. Lastly what is ur alternative plan B shud incase A fails?


**if it face u shoot it, if it backs u shoot it but think twice when u r left alone.

I'm Blessed to have read all your comments, really enriched. Thanks

[b]@op_my immediate elder brother tried this n now his regretting returning to our parents after his service year. He spent 2years at home going out in-search of job but all to no positive turnout even our parents connection didn't help. After my uncle who is a PS in federal level disappointed him our parent ask him to go for his MSc cus the guy like book pass food. Now after MSc his still under our parents roof cus its now more difficult for him to stand on his own. Now our parents talk is helping him tru Phd level.
As for me wey I just collect my NYSC discharge certificate yesterday I already told them I'm only coming home to visit them for 2wks and I'll return to ilorin wre I served. I really meant it cus I don't depend on ppls promises not even my relatives anyways I'm not interested in career job cus I took to learn cinematography 3mnths ago while still serving and I'll sti be in process of learning for 6month or more but my parents hymn is in career job. Although its bit difficult living in the metropolis when u avnt start earning but I know I'll cope and worst is I'll go home 1s a month to gather foodstuffs. What av gathered from my research so far is that if u try n endure the hardship of standing on ur own, its really gonna worth it at the end but the more u depend on ur parents living with them the more it gets hard for u to be independent cus u r likely to feel too relaxed due to their encouragement of okomi makanjo (don't be in haste).[/b]

Thanks a million and congrats on ur Passing out. I've made up my mind not to go back home and so help me God.
I'm serving in Kano state, and from the look of things, I seem to have some friends I can be close to I. Delta. hence I'll move to Delta from here basically to start a business and to advance my degree on the long run.

Adortem:

You were same batch with me batchC 2013,I also saved nearly what you saved,though I had to use part of it for a professional course which sapped a lot of my savings thinking it would give me automatic employment,well,still actively searching,had to pause when I got to a final stage.Now,I am thinking of a career change,its has not be easy,sometimes I feel so alone,like I am the only one going through this stage in life,I didn't even know it would be like this,I tried,while serving I had,like 3 part time jobs,that helped me save,but it seems the real world now its not something one can control,things happen beyond our control,its called fate!

God will reward you for your labour Bro, you're not alone at all. I'm previlaged to stay in a family house where many batch Cs past out today. trust me, I can see anxiety in most of their eyes. even though they smile.

RayAngel, thanks for sharing this

@Op, you just taught me another life lesson

God bless you sir.

We're all grateful o.

@ apprentist, I just thought of this idea, believe me, this is what I'll do. Learn a skill like barbing or laundry services. This are things you can master within 3 months. You can be visiting banks and other places of work, get their contacts and and also deliver to them @ home. They will be happy to deal with a graduate and it is also a smart way of networking with them. Don't allow that certificate to get into your head, start something immediately.

Barbing, 3 months? I doubt o. BT thanks.

stonecoldcafe:


Where is your mum?

living alone

SmartProf:
It all depends on d economic circumstances surrounding ur immediate environment where u are and where ur parent reside. U cant expect someone whose parent are in a very quiet village/city economically to return cos all that will inspire d fellow may likely be uninspiring...in my case i returned, found a teaching job initially in a school that offers A levels study and in less than 4months, since i was with my parent, i began an Msc degree and they helped talked to big friends who got me an interview opportunity for a lecturing job in a Uni where i am working @ the moment...pls choose right and believe God for d best

My family is based in PH and I'm serving in Kano- Batch A15

femoboy:
facing the same problem now.i know I wl surely remember this stage nd I wl laugh.

Sure thing.

op Don't waste ur savings on renting an apartment when u don't have a guaranteed job just yet. What if after getting the apartment and no job showed face even aftr a year,where do u think u will see cash to renew ur rentage?
My advice for u is to keep ur savings for going for job tests or for business whichever u decide to go with.

AS for me,I had the opportunity of staying back in the north in july,but was no way i was going to stay back and receive salary of 13k monthly. So i moved immdiately back to lagos that same day harmed with my savings for transportation to attend job tests. i started attending job tests and interview the following week and before two months i was gainfully employed. if u stay somewhere like lagos, u will know its wasteful to use ur nysc savings to get a job without any job in sight just yet. When u get employd u can always move anytime

Another reason why I find it hard imagining going back home is that my dad has a woman with him and last time I checked, she's in charge.

Stelvin101:


Orubebe pattern. If only Op fit gather mind burst in there and start shouting in Orubebe's Voice "I will not take it! I will not take it!! How can I finish Nysc! and go back to my father's house! and you people are here doing screening! Somebody must employ me or nobody will be me employed as minister! Someone get sachet water to drink plz. I will not take it o!

Abeg I get cough jor. No de make me laff ...

Stelvin101:


So someone from Delta State who is serving in Gboko, Benue State receiving 3k as salary should not leave Benue State abi?

I'm actually thinking of moving to Delta sha. Studies and Business... God help us.

epadomo:



True talk facing same situation @ home after service. Very frustrating

It'll be well. Thanks for sharing.

temitope06:
Going back or not depends on your own plans and knowing yourself. You going back doesn't mean ure lazy or u won't make it and u not going back doesn't mean u will be a millionaire the following week, it all depends on u planning based on ur strengths. My elder bro came back but being a gifted child he didn't even spend one week b4 getting a juicy job with p and g, dude wasn't even satisfied so after some years he left for Shell where he earns mega bucks and his goal is even mightier than what he's doing. I finished service with batch B in July and I already av a Masters but I had to come back home but being here I can tell u I earn more than what my mates r earning, not boasting . I love ppl smelling nice so I just went into perfumes, body sprays , beauty products etc and d way I package am ehn u go think say na me be Tom Ford. Altho I did my MSc abroad, I still dey find better job but in d mean time I'm loving selling my stuffs cos I get to meet pretty working class females and I make money too. Just fashion out a Plan for yourself.

I appreciate.

nely:

my brother I was a batch B corp member that passed out July this year, when it a month to pop I told some of my colleagues that am not going back home to stay with my parents, they where like why, I told them I can't stand the shame of looking them in the face everyday after training me to this level, I took that decision, my mum supported the idea with my younger ones, I renewed my rent of 20k from my savings during the service year, u bought food stuff and other necessary things I needed. at first it was hard n tough, boring and the shame all your friends gone but I kept on after about a month of staying at home I woke up one morning went to Aba enquired about how to supply suit and native wears and I thank God it has been favourable I also work in a fueling station but I know one day the dream job will come. its hard but you have to manage..drop your pride or ego (if you have any) B.Sc is over hyped in this country just try n do something good n useful.. wish you well by timi dakolo that's the song that encourages me.

God Bless you Sir.

Did you read what he wrote? Teach who? Students are in trouble!

What happened to what I wrote pls?

emmanuel596:
Go look for work ogbeni.....soo funny how people still depend on their parent at a stage like dis...after nysc I told my parents I wasn't coming home until I had a job and I pursued nd worked hard nd prayed tooo...believe me I went home 7 months after nysc with a news and job that made my parents forever thankful to GOD for having a child like me...pls learn to hustle start small pray,belive and earn honestly GOD will bless ur hustle....stay independent...@ op there's nothing wrong in goin to see ur parents after a year of struggling alone but pls don't relax nd make ur self too welcomed at home u are a visitor to dat house nw not a bed owner

Good heads up. thanks.

Umunede:
Exactly what happened to me some years ago when I was going for NYSC in Osun state. I am very happy today that I made that decision not to go back to my Parent. That is what changed my life. That singular decision is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Below are things I did
Burn the bridge. When I was leaving for NYSC, I told my Parent point blank that I am not coming back to stay with them again. I will only visit them to greet them. They were shocked. They were thinking I was playing. Guess what, that is exactly what happened. I hated going back to them. I am the first born. they have trained me through University. why should I go back to them? so first, hate going back. That is what drove me to work out my life. I never regretted it.
Secondly, know that the good job may not come immediately after service. The question then is what will I be doing to keep me going after NYSC since I will going back to my Parents? Right from the first day, I stepped into Osun state for NYSC, I stopped thinking of NYSC. The only thing in my mind is after NYSC, what will I be doing. In the camp, I was asking questions. You have a talent. I love teaching. The day I left camp, I approached many JAMB/GCE lesson centres that same day by just asking people. Because something is in my mind. I am not going back. I must get something to be doing even after NYSC before the big job will come.
SAVE SAVE SAVE. Our allawe then was 6500 and later increased to 7500. I was saving. You must save every month from your allawe. Don't blow everything. Be prudent. Those savings will help you later.
Prepare for tests and interview. Buy aptitude test and interview books, GMAT. Read wide. Develop yourself.
Start applying for jobs from day one. Tuesday and Thursday Guardian was my friend. I don't have money to buy the newspapers as corper. I visit the local vendor as early as 6am to 7am every Tuesday and Thursday. I will give him 10 or 20 naira to scan through the newspaper before the buyers will start coming. I go with my pen and paper to write down vacancies. later, the vendor became my friend, he sometimes give me the newspaper to scan for free. I remember then, he will tell me, "no dirty am oo", dem de come buy am. I will say Oga, I hear. Most young people nowadays are very lazy. Nothing good comes easy. You have to work out your life. It is through this guy's newspaper I landed the good job I was looking for. Nobody helped me. My friends mocked me then, that I an SAN(senior applicant of Nigeria). I told them I am M-SAN(most senior applicant of Nigeria). Be applying, be writing test and be attending interview. You are getting experience.
Start little. Don't go for a costly well furnished accommodation. They gave me accommodation where I did my service. But from day one, I was asking around where I could get cheap accommodation where I will stay after my service. Eventually, I was able to get a good cheap one. If you are batch B for example, there will be some batch A corp members that their rent runs beyond their service period and they want to leave immediately. You can negotiate with them. That is how I got a good one
Above all, be prayerful. Bros, you need God to help you.
Doing all these, barely 3 months after my service, I got the lucrative job I was looking for. Today when, I look back, I feel happy and fulfilled not to have gone back. If I had gone back, I will not struggle the way I did and they will be feeding me 3 times a day. Maybe, I wouldn't have been here.

Well shared. much gratitude.

ALISMILE:
Goin back home to daddy and mummy after service was the worse nightmare I put up wit during my service year! I did evrytin witin my power to avoid that! Unfortunately, it happened!I had no choice but to put up wit it, I endured it and struggled to get out of it, and by the grace of God I did! Its the worst that can happen to a guy old enough to be on his own! That is y weneva I see Corpers I feel for them because I knw wat some of them re goin tru! U need to pray hard man!

Trust me o, I'm seriously praying. and thanks

RickRichards:

Kindly paraphrase.

You said you founded your first company. I'm asking if its your own company or you got employed to work there. and how long did u wait after service?

RickRichards:
Yup. Returned to my parent's house and immediately founded my first company. Spent about 8 months working from there, and now the business has taken me to a whole new land.

You're certainly one of the lucky few. Congrats… but how did u mean when u said "you found your own company"?…

kallmemrB:
bro nothing wrong with that,everyone has a starting point...u should be glad u have somewhere to go to

No doubt. But then what'll be the difference between me and a Jambite speaking admission? Just wondering.

Going back to my Father's House and Mummy's Pot after my service Year.

Sincerely, I've never stopped giving this a thought since I left home for service.
I have huge plans for my service year- Things I look forward to achieve, degrees, skills, contacts and so on. But above all, I look forward to starting life after my service year.
Now, this decision as we all know isn't one that comes on a platter. My reason for saying this goes thus:
1. To afford an apartment will require rentage and maintenance,
2. I'll have to earn to survive,
3. The Societal system doesn't trow jobs at your lap imidiately after service. Just to mention a few.

Some of you here on NL have been through this stage of life already and gracefully sufficed through.
What was your experience like and how did you finally get on your feet?
Do you subscribe to going back to my parent's after service?
Did you have to stay at your parent's while starting life outside?
What were the things you did during your service year that helped you in this area at the long run?

Opinions and Experiances would be grately appreciated.

It'll be a sin if I don't drop a comment after reading you'alls.

I'm a serving Corper in Kano, and this same issue has been bothering my mind. Although, I'm pursuing skills I find interest in, like: Computer Software applications and Piano lessons at the moment.
If I have enough capital, I'd go into entrepreneur after service just so I can afford advancing my degree.
