Unemployment is a critical problem that never fails to grab the headlines. And it rightly should considering that youths are full of strength that is left untapped. It gets worse when people who acquired formal education through stress and determination cannot find paid jobs.

However, there is a flawed mentality which has been ingrained in the minds of Nigerians from childhood. It is that all we needed do was study and expect jobs as a reward for tertiary education. In fact songs were composed back in the days to drive home this point.

Nevertheless, that mentality was factual and the songs were no lies. Considering the period the songs were popular, one would easily realize that formal education was rare and many families struggled to have at least a child sent to school up to university. And there were indeed jobs waiting for those who were educated.

However, the music has long changed but many people are still dancing the old steps. Today, there are more people in school than the jobs available. This year’s JAMB has over one million students who registered for it. Meanwhile, new graduates will be released into the labour market to compete with those who have stayed at home for 1, 3 or more years at home with no good job.

Three foremost problems with some of today’s graduates

Everyone who has had the opportunity to talk with some unemployed graduates with no regular source of income can easily spot 3 problems that are common to almost all graduates. This is not to slight unemployed graduates. No, not at all.

1. Blame game

If you would be sincere with yourself, you know this point is factual. Most unemployed graduates blame the government for not providing jobs. They blame politicians for looting monies that could have been out to better use. They blame the public universities for sub-standard education and HR managers for frustrating them. The blame may be valid but the question is, “what does it change?”

2. Pride

Unemployed graduates have high regard for their certificates and their educational background. This makes it difficult for them to conceive the thought of learning new hand craft or new skills because they are not blue collar jobs and don’t involve sitting in an office. Hardly do they realize that hundreds of thousands unemployed people have the same certificate.

3. Shiny pot syndrome

Naturally, we, Nigerians are optimistic people. This also extends to the hope that a good job will come soon. Well, it may come but how long should one wait idly for it? Should graduates remain for months and years for jobs without improving themselves? This is another problem.

Real reason why unemployment is a choice

A lot of things have changed since the nineties and early 2000s. Opportunities have sprung up with the improvement in technology. These opportunities have created opportunities for people to now earn a living from the comfort of their home with no regards to their tertiary degree.

Unlike regular jobs, the floor is open and anyone can choose to earn. No one can shut another out of the opportunity to earn and there are several models to pick from. So if anyone refuses to learn a skill and also refuses to turn to the various digital money making models (as many are doing,) then they have likely chosen to remain unemployed.

It doesn’t make sense to discard as non-working what others are profiting from. It’s absurd.

Digital money making models you can start earning from

There are several digital money making models you can start earning from.

Model 1

Kindle Direct Publishing: Do you enjoy writing? Then this is definitely for you. With Kindle, you can begin to publish your books. The good news about this is that your reach is not restricted but rather global! You can always track the number of sales you make on each book that you publish.

How it works:

When you register on the site, you are immediately eligible to commence publishing. The more the number of sales you are able to make, the more your income will increase. However, Amazon will deduct 30% of your earnings if you are not a US person or if you do not reside in countries with tax treaties with the US. You will get your earnings in US dollars 60 days after every month that you have made sales.

Advantages

- The market is global which means more chances to make sales
- Once you publish a book, you will continue earning royalties for life
- You can publish books at your own convenience or pace

How to start

Underemployment is a choice, unemployment most times is not when you relate it to Nigeria situation. Truth is achieving full employment in an economy is almost impossible.

Sometimes, it is not their choice as you make it sound

Nice write up OP. I started publishing on amazon KDP platform last year - I have just one ebook to my credit and some royalties that promises an auspicious future for my publishing endeavor on Amazon. I look forward to releasing my second ebook on the platform in Q1 of 2018. I am not jobless though but I took to writing because I am passionate about it; my motivation isn't the royalties but the passion behind my writing and publishing endeavor. So guys try it out, if only you have got it in you.

I have three books i'd like to publish. I need critics first.

Farming is the big deal. I have had interest in it, when I went for service.

Unemployment is a world wide issue. Not just a Nigerian problem.

In your wildest imagination, do you think it's possible for everyone to go online?

The OP is not suggesting that everyone should go online.

The OP is suggesting that if you are still unemployed, maybe it's high time you try online business rather than choosing to be idle and be blaming the government up and down which at the end of the day will still not solve your problem.

The problem with uninformed folks like you is that you are always too willing to kill the messenger without even listening to his message.

Your problem is that he is marketing himself abi?

What efforts have you made to buy his market before concluding that it is all scam?

I'm sorry for dolts like you.

You think attacking him by calling him a scammer will solve your own unemployed status?

You better wake up now!
