Good Morning Folks,

I really need your candid advice on how to navigate things at this point. I signed out recently this year from school in July, I studied Microbiology, my last results came out I made a second class upper, even though many are saying the course is useless.

I didn't want to be idle at home, I took up teaching the Primary six class of a school trekable from my house with a 42k Salary pending when my school starts the next NYSC mobilization, I tried applying to some jobs and most of them are requesting for my certificate which it would be up to next year before i could get it.

Not to exaggerate, i noticed am the most educated in the place, I feel like the job is below me in a way, though everyone there are very friendly to me Also, if It would enable me to be able to save up the amount I need till I get clearance for my NYSC mobilization or I should drop the job?

I'm planning on completing my Data Analytics pro efficiency during NYSC also to give me more edge in labor market.

What advice would you give me if I were your brother or sister about the next coming years, and what career path to follow?

I'm 22 by the way.

Still keep the job, better than being idle.
Being the most educated doesn't translate to being most experienced about certain things.... Just take the time to enjoy imparting knowledge to the kids you're teaching, even if the pay is jack.

On your free time, continue sharpening your skills in Data Analytics..... If you drop the job, that's one source of income cut off, means no savings, means burden on you to cater dor yourself - unless you have someone paying your bills.

Find time in the 24hrs that makes a day to do your data stuff. Keep applying to better jobs too.

I'm trying to learn online but nothing beats having someone physically teach me

Then by all means go all in.
I have made this decision before, stopping work to pursue a skill. It paid off.

It can pay off for you too. Sha know what you're sacrificing and make sure you really get good at it.

Story of the average Nigerian youth. So good for you that you are within the favorable age brackets of the Nigerian youth. Many opportunities and dreams realistically lies ahead of you and thank God you're a graduate.

If you don't want to suffer in this country, you need to INTENTIONALLY take advantage of EVERY opportunity NOW before time flies and age becomes a barrier. You graduated two months ago with an 'upper' and you're currently teaching pending your NYSC mobilisation. Forget all those hype you're getting in that school or hero complex your educational status brings. Focus on usage. That 42k is an investment and that school could give you the recommendations you'll need for scholarships.

First, use this short period before NYSC to rampage scholarships mostly international, apply to as many as you can. Pick an area of specialization in microbiology that sells, let chatgpt be your guide. Apply and apply until you get one. I say this, because one foreign fully sponsored scholarship can change your status financially, career wise, geographically, and turn your life 360° around.

Second, make sure you get your certificate. Complete your clearance, get your certificate and if not likely, get a statement of result from your department or school. Also, get your transcripts from your department or school.

Thirdly, make good use of the NYSC opportunity. It's one of the shortest route to secure a good job but many are led astray. When seeking for NYSC place of assignment, pick a well known organization(governmental/non governmental/private) e.g oil and gas-(shell, chevron), health(hospitals, research institutes), paramilitary/military( DSS, NDLEA, FIRS, etc), Banks, etc. Use chatgpt to compose excellent CV, statement of purpose, etc. Submit to them and let them know you want to NYSC Intern with them. You're likely to be picked by any of them with your good result and based on your performance likely to be retained on good salary with benefits.

Lastly, from now on, you should focus on utilizing every opportunities available now. Do your research, apply to as many and with your good result. You'll be picked. This is the time to 'build' your future and reap it later. This is not the time to laze around or date girls around else you'll just live like the average Nigerian youth and before you know it the system will be working against you and you'll just be looking for any means to survive, which is not our portion. All the best.

N.B your tech certification is just an addition to your education/skill. It is not an end to a means.
