Good day to everyone on this thread
I need your sincere help/advice cos I'm at a crossroad in my life and I don't even know what to do, I'm getting depressed day by day.
A quick introduction about myself will give you an insight of my predicament. I'm a boy of 25 years, came from a poor background, lost my dad too early and I have struggling elder siblings, I'm not even able to complete the secondary school education but I sat for GCE last 4 years and WAEC just last year. Since I've been out of school(past 4 years) I've been managing and trying to pursue an academic degree but there is no means cos I've been barely surviving, did a factory job for some times, do menial jobs which are paying meagre amounts, though I have the passion for tech but I live in a very remote area and there's no how I'm able to access people who share the same interest to push me further or mentor me so It was just a dream that I haven't achieved. years back I got to start working for someone who runs a business, he is a 3rd party client representative for a registration agency, so through that job I can say I'm more comfortable compared to these factory jobs that did some psychological damage to me. I started working for this person for a while, later I got to know how to do the registration for people and have access to contacts within the agency. Not long, my boss traveled out and I was left to attend to his business for him, it wasn't easy though but I gained a lot of experience, I was able to earn on my own for a while and everything went fine with me, I'm a type of person who is contented with little. Recently, when the economy took a different turn and everything seems to be getting hard, I wasn't getting anything again, it's only from hand to mouth, I decided to try another thing or learn a skill to earn a steady income, this is where I got stuck, I wasn't able to find a good one to venture into, I got depressed and its having a turn on my health, I get sick here and there. I need a skill or a job I can learn with a guaranteed future even if it requires putting up some funds to start it. PS; school is out of it for me, I'm not in a stable mind/financial state to start processing school, I've tried these digital skills and I don't seem to believe it's like what they advertise online, I want a very reliable and efficient skill I can sacrifice my time and money to learn, due to my health issues I prefer working at home and maybe occasionally go out to get work done.... Nairalanders please help me out with your advice and orientation.. Thanks and God bless

Your condition is giving your helper condition.
E go hard ohhh

Hi. I'll be sincere with you that digital skills are in high demand, but are you willing to put in the work so you can handle the competition?

First before going into digital skill, get a business that can give you atleast feeding money daily.. I have some ideas but it will depend on what your location looks like

I can put in the hard work if I see someone to mentor me.

I'm in Lagos actually....

I have to log in because of you @op.

My advice to you is 'know yourself'.

Know who you are, why are you still living? What are your gifts. Know them like SWOT analysis.

Know your strengths to recognize opportunities and manage your weaknesses to reduce threats.

I was once like you but once I discovered myself, I discovered happiness.

Don't follow bandwagons, look within.

Clues,
1. Your stars
2. Finger prints
3. blood group,etc
will reveal who you are and your mission here on earth.

It is like you feature in a play without knowing your role.

Imagine Messi as a carpenter, he will struggle till death, or Wizkid as a graphics designer, that one na disaster.


The kingdom of god is within you, whoever find himself shall find heaven with everlasting joy, otherwise, tormenting hell awaits.

You know, you are narrating this in a motivational way, it may seem easy to say but very difficult to execute, how? How do I discover myself

If you don't know, there are people that will show you. Look for them.

Let share some knowledge with you.

know your zodiac signs and elements.

for example, Libra/ air will have to be on constant travels because air don't stay in one place.
Know your blood group, what does it say about you? O+ people are here to help and serve other. They will suffer if they do otherwise.
We are spirits, there are some foods you cannot eat, colors of things you can't use etc.

Go out and find out yourself bro.

I wouldn't want to sound rude but I don't believe in all these fallacies because there are no substantial facts to back it up, they are mere predictions and speculations, I'm open to more advice and solution and I hope you don't further confuse and make it complicated. Thanks

Please don't feel bad to express yourself bro. I only shared my real life experiences to help you out of your current position and you don't have to learn from it as there are no evidence/facts to back it up.

Never mind bro!

You are right!
