Keep the faith,things will turn out better. I want to ask, what can you offer. It's not all about your 2.1 degree.

Exactly. Going to school is not just about the degree but an avenue to discover other things. The world right now revolves around what you can offer and not just your certificate.

What kind of jobs have u been applying for?
We must not all work in offices and knot tie.
After nysc, I immediately picked up secondary sch teaching job, 40k. Money I made from nysc I used in picking up msc form. I was teaching in secondary, doing msc and ofcourse missing classes, but was also making money doing lessons for students. All the while I kept applying for jobs.
I wrote recruitment test for FBN, spdc, mtn, vmobile, stanbic ibtc, standard chartered Bank and union Bank. It was when I started writing my thesis that Union Bank clicked for me. 1 year inside union Bank, msc done and dusted. Immediately I picked up PhD forms. Years down the line I'm a PhD holder.
Morale? Get busy.
Applying for jobs is not an excuse to be idle. Schools just resumed, send your CV to schools you'll be surprised. I advised someone on this, she got two offers. One sch paying 35k and another paying 50k. She took the 50k. Weeks later, she told me that teachers make cash from lesson in the sch, lesson there is 20k per month, gather 3 students do lesson for them and you are paying yourself.

Funny enough you studied Chemistry and education I think, wtf are u looking for with a safety certificate when your line is education and you can use that as a spring board? Except you really don't know Chemistry well, do you know how many parents will pay for lessons for their science kids to study Chemistry and physics? Dude,....

Well said Bro. Thumbs up

How can I be an illiterate when I am reading and posting here?

Do you even know what the word ''illiterate'' means? It means one who can neither read nor write and is not be confused for retardism. There are many illiterates from the past who geniuses .

Stuff your worthless degree up your ass and go find a real skill that does not involve you sitting in an office doing nothing useful .

I said learned because you can read and post like you said but your school of thought is that of an illiterate. You are a confirmation that English shouldnt be a measure of intelligence.

Nigerians stuff it up their ass, that is why they are being ruled by a school cert holder. couldnt even have a complete school cert result. That is why people like u can come here and misled people that uni education aint shii..

You are just being ignorant and arrogant. Bad combo!

I graduated with third class, had spill over for two years and I've worked in more than 6 places because what I do have opportunities. None of the people I worked for has ever asked me my result...they just know I'm good at what I do. Right now it's not everyone I work for ...if your standard don't meet mine...I'm leaving ur organisation ...

I like your thoughts, that why I am not in school yet cause universities esp in Nigeria are giving worthless degrees. I very much focused on the programming and finance investing. Nice one Sir.
ChiefJusticeFuc:
You should direct your angst at the useless paper degree awarding university that you wasted 4ys of your life attending.

University degrees are a scam and only meant to act as a labor supply stopgap.

98% of degrees being peddled are worthless and utterly useless as they do not in any way transfer any skill set or knowledge to you.

Universities only exist to act as a stopgap for labor supply. You spend 5ys chasing a degree and then the compulsory NYSC.

If this scam system did not exist, do you know how many people will flood the labor market each year?

Go and learn a real trade skill and stop complaining that nobody wants to hire your zero talent self entitled ass.

I don't know where you're from but when a fresh graduate is done with NYSC they often migrate either to Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt or the state they reside. I want to assume you're not a Northerner, and you choose to stay back in KD, what makes you think if there's a recruitment you will be picked above other core indigene or Northerner?
I served in Kano, Tsanyawa lga precisely. Immediately after nysc I came back to PH. From PH I traveled to Lag and Abj for various recruitment test. I had the cash to sponsor my trips cos I was working and doing lessons. But this is if you're not a Northerners.
And if you are, are you a graduate? Can you teach? In every state there's always going to be top schools and employ good hands and pay well. I'll prefer teaching, trade etc than doing pay as you work for a laundry company anytime.
