Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by Nobody: 9:59am On Sep 30, 2021

Omooo bro. I also graduated with third class. The moment I entered the uni I lost interest in schooling. Though I was developing myself in other ways like sound editing, video editing and all these IT things on my own. Before I graduate I was able to at least have the skills to some average level. I wasn't scared of life...I never panicked, intact I was the happiest graduate of all times in that school, but my Friend that graduated with sharp 2.1 was so depressed because he couldn't make first class. Right now he's a teacher with a private school. Me on the other hand have worked with over 10 organisations from labels to NGOs to several brands.
Currently I'm active IT guy for about 4 NGOs. Plus other NGOs that will have a program for a period.

I didn't study computer science. But do u know the demand in IT guys by NGOs?? Something as simple as projector set up is very important in their meetings..if they discover you can also design thier fliers or edit thier zoom meeting or arrange the soun for their outreach and seminars etc they value these things.

I've been to several place with fat allowance just to be thier IT guy.

Bro. Since I graduate after my NYSC I've not seen my certificate again. I don't even know where it is.

In summary, nobody cares what you graduate with, they only care about what you can do.

I know we've been misinformed about attaching success to grades. . biggest lie of all times... Your grade has nothing to do with you success delivery.

Just find something u can do well that people will look for you .. And you are set for life.

I get xallls from everywhere for these services.

I learnt music production to work in studios...but I didn't know it will turn out that I ll work more for NGOs since I started editing thier radio dramas...

Their are many things bro.

Forget that certificate and develop yourself bro.

You can do it...it's not late bro

Maybe schooling should not be your next step.
Start thinking entrepreneurship. Go and learn a skill or a trade. Be an apprentice for a while so you can know what business entails.
There are successful people who didnt even complete university. You graduated. This means you acquired knowledge. Now it is time to apply that knowledge in the real world.

you are not alone bro, here is what i will advise you to do. go back to school to get a PGD your determination to get it can serve as a mind shift for you. if you have money go for certifications in relation to your field of study or career choice.
you still have a bucket full of hope, dont look down on urself

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by northbird: 10:00am On Sep 30, 2021*

Why are you looking for a job? If you are in Lagos.

Go and learn a skill. You don't have to pay anyone to learn. Look for someone doing it.

Approach them esp the elderly ones, state your issues and become an apprentice. Drop your ego and serve, in six months you will have a faster grasp of the process.

You have a degree already. After six months, write a proposal to diff construction companies. On what you do,
Xand Y enterprises. The first job you get, you join hands with your former boss/master. You do it and share 50/50. Be open, put him into the know.

Ensure a good job is done. , then wait for referrals. You will be amazed 15 months down the line.

Let me give an example of a niche in construction :
1. POP
2. Flooring : Tiles, ceramics.

And if you are not cut out for handyman jobs, there are other skills (that people need everyday, you can learn).

Goodluck.

Its a good one and lucrative, but i guess the training will be very expensive.

Start doing courses related to tech. Don't allow your degree to define you. Rise above your predicament by charting a new course for yourself.

@OP Think outside the box and learn other skills that will fetch you money. You can go into business too or real estate agents or car dealers and get your percentage.

There are lots of first class graduates, M.Sc and PhD holders out there struggling too, so the earlier you dump the "I am a graduate" mentality and embrace street hustle the better. Along the line, you might get better jobs requiring your skills you must have acquired over the years. Never stay down, always keep moving.

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by Holluwhakemmy(f): 10:07am On Sep 30, 2021

That is not the issue you can still apply for job improve yourself by going for PGD and have any other professional certificate. There are many third class graduate who are doing well dont be depressed.

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by alphabbey1(m): 10:08am On Sep 30, 2021

forget hearsay, have you personally seen a first class that's struggling in labour market ?

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by achimendy(m): 10:08am On Sep 30, 2021

This guy is really funny, you're crying because you graduated with 3rd class?? You beta discover your talent and start working on it. Time wait for no man. Look for something important and channel your strength, time and resources, and you will see the result in no time.

Why are you lamenting? Why not go and learn a skill? A vocational or digital skill? Learn to be a millwright, a welder, a blaster, painter, tailor, etc. With the knowledge you already possess from having being to a university, you will excel if you work hard at it.

I left school with a 2.1 and I haven't used my certificate for a single day. But am almost at the top of my craft.

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by Solatium(m): 10:17am On Sep 30, 2021

3rd class didn't define who you are,i have seen people with such grade that still went on to succeed in life.
You might get one or two interviews,go there and dazzle them with what you have upstairs,make them feel like it was a mistake on the side of your degree awarding institution to have awarded you with such grade.

Carelessness is what makes us end up with some situation,but Guess what those situations does not really define us.

Try to raise money � and process your VISA, leave Nigeria for good. Nothing is working anymore, schooling or no schooling.. Even those with better grade are yet to do something with it. Please travel out of the country if you can, at least you will stand a better chance over there... Getting a career job is hard in Nigeria (ON MERIT). Nothing is based on merit anymore, whether you have good grade or not.

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by webhead: 10:22am On Sep 30, 2021

Good day bro.

I am not a guru in this online business thing. Neither do I consider myself to be in the position to guide someone who wants to go into it.
I started my first online business a few months ago, after taking few online courses, and I've started to see results.
The point is, I am still learning (and trust me, I still have a whole lot to learn).

But, like I said, there are plenty of places/gurus for that.
Nairaland and youtube is a great way to start.

If you really serious about this, buy a course on whichever online business you've chosen to start.

Like the FIVERR ACCELERATOR PROGRAM, PRINTING PROFITS, BIAHEZA DROP SHIPPING COURSE, KEVIN DAVID'S FBA NINJA COURSE, DIGITAL MARKETING INSTITUTE'S COURSE (based in Lagos)

Its not a get rich quick scheme ooo

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by donasere(m): 10:22am On Sep 30, 2021

Move to tech. Do some digital analytics or marketing courses and build yourself. You’ll be glad you did.
Your certificate just gets you in the building it’s your skills that keeps you in.

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by Fundamentalist: 10:24am On Sep 30, 2021

Your educational qualification doesn't determine your future, learn a skill. Infact it should serve as a motivation in life. In case you forgot Dino milaye graduated with a "questionable 3rd class " and he isn't depressed.

Re: Third Class Graduate With No Direction by ayemip(m): 10:31am On Sep 30, 2021

Firstly,graduating with a third class is no offence in Nigeria because our school system is wrong from d foundation.

Secondly,Develope urself by learning a trade(hand work) After graduating from d trade,try and perfect urself.

Thirdly, Save good money and travel out of dis good for nothing country.

Fourthly, Have faith in God and believe in urself. Be prayerful

The sky will b ur starting point
