Realities for the Fresh African Graduate..

Education is the key to success as we're told... You'll believe this until you graduate from tertiary in Africa. Lol.. where you didn't read medicine, nursing, or teaching : which are considered as secured jobs in our part of the world cos government will definitely post you somewhere. Life after tertiary is one hard nut. Some are fortunate to land jobs easily through links, others spend money and years at home distributing application letters. First-class or whatever is great my dear but put that aside and learn a trade whilst you're job hunting cos it can fetch you a little money which you can manage for a while(put pride aside, no one will take your degree from you.. Lol) . Also, you won't land your dream job on the first job you get.. But you should acclimatize and keep looking.
Building a good social network is also healthy as this will give you information with respect to the job market you seek to venture into (you can start from church). Most importantly you have to also build capacity by way of reading good books and listening to people that will impact you. Lastly, be humble and don't blame any politician cos the blame game never fixed anything... Peace!
This is apt .....It’s soo sad in our world .... Thumbs up girl ðŸ‘ðŸ¿ðŸ‘ðŸ¿....
