You can NEVER go wrong with being an entrepreneur.

Apart from your certificate, find something doing with your hands, it could be business or some other things.

It comes in handy!

Jiang:
Am a nairalander, thats my full time job

In details ,

Sleeping, nairalanding , playing games & cursing the government for not providing incentives or jobs for us without connection & Godfathers.


Atleast this had let me see how booring & simple this world is, No matter how satisfied a person is, something will always pop out & make person worry. So am using this period to learn satisfaction.
But seriously there isn't anything really exhilarating, but every day is still fun sha, afterall am wasting time

czarina:
Honestly, it has been beautiful!

From freelance writing and rendering Virtual assistance to Massage Therapy. And it's all thanks to God, Nairaland and every single person I met through Nairaland.

I go testify one day sha, God willing.

I finished service since 2017 am already into web stuff like a blogger, although and I have learnt how to make sites appear on search engines and also draw traffic.
I have not bothered sending one CV ever since I just don't want the headech or don't know how to lol. Mind you I have job directory page but no job funny.
i know nothing comes easy but prefer a shop where I could sell things rather than hustling for 100k job.

Although blogging has it ups and down but there are times it pays super and there are times it does little be it as it may its sustainable like there are times or months making 600k there are months makes 200 to 100k, it all depends.

Please note : blogging is not easy, an average blog takes 4 to 5 months to bring anything tangible. And you must have a clear path as in good content that should not be plagiarism like you going over pages to copy and paste... I mean real information resource page.

Maddd. I got a job even before the end of my nysc but the 9 to 6 life isn't funny. I wish I have entrepreneurial skills and experience.

@OP I have something to discuss with you

Triangles1:
The little money I had during my NYSC and with the support from my family, I invest on farming such as Yam, Casava, maize, guinea corn and tomatoes, I employed farmer, I visit the farm once in a month, right now i don't even need white collar job again.



My advice to my brothers and sisters, don't wait for government to do everything for you, start with anything in your street, when I first started I pass through alot of problem from neighbors, calling me names, a graduate became farmers, but today I don't wait for monthly salary, there are some works that sound so dirty but they're profitable.

Richdad50:
To all the Job seekers who toil daily going from one office to another in pursuit of jobs, I pray God gives you rest.
We must all understand that not everyone is designed to be an enterprenuer. Enterprenuers were created to build on their vision while Employees where designed to build the vision of enterprenuers (do not let anyone make you feel less). They both need each other. Wherever you find your fitting, give it your best.

ShameOnAPC:
30k BMC salary has helped me so far,
I have my own car, house, feeding my wife and kids, going on Vacation. Helping friends and family financially. Ask other BMC, they will tell you how large they have been living on 30k

After NYSC I couldn't get a job right away and I was depressed and suicidal. I once overdosed on aspirin only to be resuscitated at the hospital. I thought about suing the hospital for bringing me back to life against my will and wishes but my lawyer advised me to let go since the case will be tossed out anyway. I decided to use my second chance to make the most of myself and one day give a testimony. I searched nairaland for jobs and applied to many, I eventually got a job at Jumia Travels where I helped with hotel reservations. They paid me 80k a month, not bad. Just 3 months into the job, my female manager and colleagues were hitting on me. They would drool over me and flirt with me. I didn't mind it until my manger who's a married woman with 2 kids invited me over to her house. I refused and she set me up. I ended up losing my job.

I later got another job at a travel agency, helped with flight reservations. Pay was 85k a month. Needless to say that my female co-workers were crushing on me, the other guys were jealous and it resulted in a serious physical altercation between me and another male co-worker. We were both let go.

I scoured nairaland and came across an online freelancer who taught me graphic design and article proofreading, I started earning dollars from fiverr, upwork and many freelancing sites. Money wasn't bad, I was averaging $200 a week. I thought I had made it in life. I worked at my own schedule.

But later I felt like the money wasn't enough, I wanted to buy a new car and a new apartment. I met another friend of mine, Charles, who was a model. Dude was fit with deltoid, pectoralis and back muscles popping. He told me he works out 5 days a week and makes 2 million naira a month. I was shocked. It turned out that Charles was a gigolo, he serviced rich women as well as models on the side. I was jealous, I mean I'm better looking than this guy and women are obsessed with me so why wasn't I using these attributes to my own advantage? I started working out, started rentacock.com, did some grassroot advertising and with word-of-mouth I started getting clients. I ended up making1.5 mil in my first month, and today I easily pull 10 times that.

Moral of the story, stop staying home langusing away and begging for jobs, look around you and provide a service people need. Good luck.

Hello. This is very inspirational,please can i have ur contact

OkaNaUbe:
With all sense of humility do I say that I planned my graduation. I told myself never to graduate and go home and start looking for jobs.

I started using my computer skills (In those days, we went to computer school to learn MS Office Suite, CorelDraw etc) and I did private home computer tutor from 200L. I also did tutorials for "Pre Degree" students and raised money to buy a car for taxi in my final year.

Everyday, I used to get N2500 from my drivers (most of them de f-up) and with time, they don't give me complete returns and I occasionally drive in the evenings and still get N2000- 11000(yes, some days are good) from 5pm -11pm.

This kept me going through my NYSC days (I bought a cleaner car during my NYSC) and it was my first job from Final year to two years after graduation. Whenever we went for CDS or to my PPA, ladies liked me to drop them off with my clean car with A/C but I told them my story and most was endeared to me
I later became an entrepreneur till date.

I am do any legit stuff to make side incomes too.

Let me give undergraduates a little tip of how to prepare for life from University. It is no more news that school may not teach you how to make money. Try from year 1 to:
1. Dress modestly, don't go for fashion and trendy gadgets but have the necessities you need
2. Keep friends who are working to excel in school and those who have businesses ideas (I am not talking of yahoo or betting)
3. If your parents gives you good pocket money or you can lie that you buy "thermometer" all the time just to have money, save more but don't suffer your life.
4. GET AS MANY SCHOLARSHIPS as you can get (I didn't enjoy this but my close friend did but wasted the money). Agbami pays Engineering and Science undergraduates N350k while Medical Students get N450k yearly. Shell pays N100k , Shevron etc. It is not a must that you will wet it but try. Again, these companies select people from oil producing areas then National merit. With good guidance from a scholarship agent like (google GMASS Port Harcourt), you stand a good chance.

My friend raked a minimum of N1.5m (Agbami paid him N350k and shell paid him N100k multiplied by four yrs - do the maths)

Note the term blogging is not all about talking about gossip you could talk about products like skincare, phones, fashion, creams, bags, anything or services like how to do this, make videos just anything. Then you stick with that niche. You can talk about comedy like little Emmanuella they got millions of page views on YouTube... Let me tell you they are raking millions... Honestly millions monthly.
