There is a reason we advise people to have S.M.A.R.T dreams or goals (look up the meaning of the acronym)! Many young people in Nigeria and beyond don't have realistic or SMART dreams. We think what is portrayed by yeyebrities on social media is real! Lol! No wonder a lady had the guts to say she can't date any man earning less than 800k a month! Lol! 5 Likes 1 Share |

The truth is you are afraid to take risks. Nothing will come on a platter of gold, you need to work for it. You are not a failure, you just have to take risks towards actualizing your dream. That's what I did. I was once a salary earner, I apprenticed cinematography and video editing. I quit my job against all odds, I became a well known film maker. I saved so hard, now am studying Vfx in Barcelona and that's besides other things I have achieved as a film maker. You can achieve if you believe but first you need to take risks 7 Likes |

greatopec: Please don't sweat yourself over it. This is the true situation of most people in Nigeria. I'm just a bit different from you. I'm 38 and the only difference I can take from your post is that I have a degree and I already have my passport. That data for learning programming also hindered me from learning it even though I've started. I also have a side hustle. Please don't kill yourself over it. Everyone have what he or she is facing, we can't just kill ourself 4 Likes 1 Share |

One advice I will give you is focus on one thing first. You talk about Uber then self development then moving abroad then getting Masters. Prioritize them and focus on the one that is most important to you first. greatopec: |

Maybe you can make your goals a bit flexible, are there any other things you can do, or that take less time to achieve and pay modestly. For instance, food production, its not difficult, it takes good planning and consistency and pays well also. Could be catering, could be cleaning service, could be repairs could be some kind of added value, and demonstrating this and reliability. You always want to be trustworthy and have others interest at heart Its always good to have a good team, sometimes people walk alone and move at a slower pace. Most graduates do not have good associates or could not form teams across different specializations, or interconnections, which are trustworthy, reliable and on the same page. |
