With your level of written English, I am not surprised that people around you think you have done so well, you must be sandwiched among mediocres. Having said that, where I stay and even my immediate family have rolled out so many professionals and professors that no one will bat an eye lid at the fact that you just managed a first degree. As I write, I have two masters degrees but the only thing that counts for me is the fact they seem to notice I am fairly successful as a lawyer and at my age. Bottom-line is, distinguish yourself and people will celebrate you, acquisition of first degree stopped being a big deal years back. Every family has at least one graduate, so what da phock are you yapping about. I am so incensed now. Mtchewwwwwww

Serendipity:
Nice post. It's just that it see-sawed from humility to smugness and complacency.
That word ''mediocre'' is grammatically aberrant. I will tell you why it is so if you want to know.
It should be stated emphatically that 'no one is immune to solecism'.
Nice post though!

SamConquer: I am as bewilder as u are.i cant beleive is a graduate that wrote this giberish

Mpetempe: Nigerian Educational System Is In Huge Shambles. 95% Blames On Government.

YOUNGKAHUNA: There's Noting Spectacular Being A Graduate Moreover You Aint The First To Garduate In The World Or Are You?

Trojavirus: It is special if it add value to your life, I bet your neighbours will place you where you belong if you can't address life challenges better, if you take to news stand criticizing government blindly and discussion football league every morning. Do something with your life even if there is no white collar job.
Keep adding value to your life, take professional courses, further your studies, improve your communication skill, develop interest in Nigerian economy, read books and catch fun. Wish all the best in life.

Sweetlemon:
And I can't believe you had the audacity to join those criticizing the op when there are over 3 different errors in just that single sentence of yours

Okiki_Oluwa: Op, I advice you to moderate this thread and correct the (there & their) and change those abbrevated words.

A University graduate has the chance the seek a white collar job. That's if your GP is nice.

GospelRapper: It all boils dwn to the course u read...if you read medicine,law or psychology u wudn't be askin' dis question in the 1st place...there is notin special about graduates lik you (dis one's that can't spell very well even after graduating)

Serendipity:
Nairalanders with their superciliousness and megalomania. Didn't you catch the guy's drift.
It's indubitable that the word graduate is used in the popular sense to mean 'one who has a varsity degree'
So why being pernickety overmuch.

sexyfire911: D people in ur street ar more of illetrate...

James Lucia: the poster of this thread should correct the thread pls. IS THERE not is their. tnx for d correction.

Sweetlemon:
My dear!
The tin don tire me! And to think that so many so-called graduates make this mistake!
They mistake there for their,
Here for hear,
Where for were
These for this
Waist for waste
Write for right
Proof for prove. Etc. Reading and comprehending simple essays has become a big problem now.
The level of education just keeps diminishing everyday. I wonder if there's still hope for our future generation. So pathetic!
