It is a general belief that life begins for young adults immediately after graduating from the university. But for some, there's a mercy extension till after NYSC. All according to the proverbial hand, and how 'him power take reach'.

Whichever the case, for another batch of gallant men and woman who availed themselves for service to the fatherland, today is the first day of the rest of their lives, and I don't mean it metaphorically.

The pellicles should be falling already; for the late bloomers it's usually around the time you receive your discharge certificate. Reality further sets in as you propel yourself, seeking purpose, asking what comes next. Fingers twitch relentlessly, eager to force-dial those uncles and aunties into finally making a move. The odds are they'll take your action as an excuse to explain away their ineptitude.

Not that they don't wish you well (shockingly, they might not). It's just what is.

What then do you do to not become a victim of post-NYSC depression?

Here are a few tips:

1) Hang around people or places that give you joy

2) Do things that give you joy. If you're lucky enough, you could start making a living off them.

3) Never let anybody dictate to you how your life should go or be at any point in time. If your choices bounce back, fine, at least you know you lived life on your own terms.

4) Be your own source of joy.

I hope this meets someone well.

Always remember, your best is yet to come.

Happy POP, guys!

Lol at the article giving advice on how to while away time until a job shows up.
I thought it’ll give ideas on side hustles one can engage in.

Yes, the end of NYSC is the beginning of hopelessness.
It’s not like NYSC was even a good thing to begin with.
I suggest every Nigerian youth learn a handiwork they can always fall into whenever low on cash.
Physical labour, especially one learned as a pastime, is the quickest employer in bad times.

My advise,
>pls don't turn down offers with small pay, provided it has potential of linking you to, or exposing you to something bigger.
>Don't hold on for too long on jobs with no bright future or good structure. However, if you get such job, don't quit the job until you get another and don't stop searching.
>Be conscious of your age. Age limit is a big bearer in Nigeria labor market
>please and please don't be too big to learn trade of your interest. Everyone of you will not get your dream job. That is the bitter truth not bad wish.

I'm almost in tears reading this.

Is that how it is now?

When I was passing out in the early 2000s (which we thought were the worst years then), few "not so paying well" organizations were lobbying for students with good grades. At least, last last, you might just settle for one average job and if diligent enough, you can later get a bigger one or have a business.

When my older uncles finished their service years, the multinational firms and security and para military services were lobbying for graduates like a competition audition.

Today, the graduates are given a talk to prevent possible suicide!

Ok
