Nothing in life is easy.

You become what you are trained to become.

Your useless school system keeps on churning out graduates who know little or nothing about entrepreneurship and financial intelligence which is the bedrock of starting companies and creating more and more employment.

The result is what so many of our youths are experiencing today in terms of massive unemployment in the land.

If only your school system will reverse that and start encouraging our undergraduates to be more focused on creating more companies through creativity rather than just focusing on where and whom to work for after graduation, you will see an inspiring change in the status quo.

The only way it can happen is if you don’t know how to use the internet. Lol. There are opportunities guaranteed for first class graduates including scholarships and grants. First class graduates are in high demand

My sister it happens o, even First Class graduates are increasing daily. Lecturing job that was guaranteed for them is no longer sure. They have to hustle just like other graduates, though some select openings are still reserved for them like MTN Graduate Trainee Program

Can a First Class graduate be jobless?

Well, yes.

First Class is not an automatic guarantee of job. It will at best get you invite for job tests and/or interviews, it hardly helps you beyond that. If you are not able to defend it or impress your interviewer or do well in the job tests, your class of degree will not help you.

It can however be an advantage and a disadvantage.

An advantage in that it can give you some air of confidence and boost your performance in job interviews. “I have no alternative than to impress”. Are u in this Nigeria what is first class compare to millions jobless masters degree holders

A disadvantage in that you are likely to be drilled more than the non-first class graduates in interviews because the expectation will be so high, and any slip will be broadcast.

Joblessness is also time-relative. For how long are we talking about? Not having job within 6 months of finishing youth service (NYSC), irrespective of class of degree, to me, is not a problem. Recruitment process takes months, jobs are not thrown at anybody like that.

I don’t expect anyone that worked his way to having First Class not to be able to defend it anywhere. But, like any other thing, there will always be exceptions.

Yes.

Everyone cannot be bosses.

But the question is:

How many graduates do you know personally who are aspiring to be bosses rather than employees?

Including you yourself?

How are you aspiring to put the knowledge you may have acquired into something that can earn you some money?

List and sell your article writing gig to anybody, anywhere in the country safely and securely using Nigeria's number one escrow service and marketplace. It's called eBay for Nigerians. Distance should never be a barrier to growing your business. Offer your buyers pay-on-delivery that still makes them pay-BEFORE-delivery. See link below and in my signature.

May God save us youths to see beyond tribalism, it has blinded us. Any day nigerian youths start to see them selves as a generation fighting for the same goal, thats when this whole sad situation of joblessness among us will end. #standupnigerianyouths

Tribalism is in the blood of many Africans undecided

It's what our parents taught us

Ethnic chauvinism

Rubbish mentality

When there are numerous research begging to be undertaken and organizations ready to fund them, schools lacking quality lecturers, any first class without a job is either greedy or not really "first class".

Depending on the course of study and school. You can never be jobless with a first class degree on chemical,mechanical and petroleum engineering.

It's funny because they believe the biggest lie that your degree is the alpha and omega. I can authoritatively tell you that I'm a lawyer with a 2'1 but I'm making more money from writing and directing movies skills I harnessed outside the classroom. wink
