godspeed: Lolz you are very wrong here sir, during my undergraduate days I read with this "EFICOs" and we exchange ideas as regards the exams we are about to attempt but when result comes out everybody sees his or her score. I do smile then because I'm sure I can't fail because I studied to know not to cram and to shock you I never had a carry-over. I'm sure you graduated with a FIRST CLASS please pass the message here what you did then, your strategies and methods adopted to get that grade instead of looking for someone to criticize. You can type whatever you feel like here its no body's headache but for those who wrote encouraging words, God Bless You Plenty!! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Jagabanthelion: Good responses @ Jangabanthelion & Fried plantain (though I didn't quote you). I had a 2.2 but I think I can look back and say I have tried for myself. These are some of the things I did and I'm not saying it will work same way for everybody but hey say LUCK is when OPPORTUNITY meets PREPAREDNESS. 1. I prepared hard for aptitude tests - I actually started preparing during my youth service even before I started applying for jobs. 2. I added a higher degree - Luckily, I got a job not too long after my service. I had started a masters degree but had to abandon it since I had to change location. I started another masters program in an area that is in my list of future interests and completed it. 3. I am still developing myself - 19 years after graduation but I'm still reading. one additional MSc (making 2) a couple of Certificates/diplomas (not two weeks classes o) with serious demanding online learning contents. One last thing is that I never really felt comfortable with myself. I could afford not to bother about 2 and 3 above because my first salary (per month o) was more than what either of my parents got as gratuity payment (roughly 3 years' salary) after serving government for >30 years. However, it was not enough to make me forget myself. That salary has grown in exponentials but I'm still improving myself. Again, maybe that's my own way of keeping myself happy so it may not apply to everyone. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bank450: Currently i promote adult ppl offers from crakrevenue and non adult offers from maxbounty using free traffics and paid traffic method. I also have niche site that was making an average of 110 bucks daily but i got hit by google in their last update because i was boosting my ranking via my PBN and paid spammy link blasting method from black market, my niche site as completely dissapeared from SERP and currently earn $0, i told my friends on skype and they recommend i forget about the site that the domain as already being blacklisted by big G and is never going to retain its authority. So, i started a new authority site three weeks ago in health niche. Am done with the layout and currently optimizing the on page SEO and adding original contents that are written by two Indian students, both of them are to provide two contents daily with minimum of 500 words for $270 per month using my provided long tail keywords. After filling each category of the site with decent content i will start building links to my site and promoting it on google ads and bing ads on tier three and tier two countries for cheap click using few coupon i have with me but these time around am adopting white hat tactics. Am optimistic that If everything is done well, my site will start getting organic traffics and more authority from big G and gradually out rank my competitors with spammy links in two months time. I invest part of the cash i earn from CPA to my niche site and i currently earn much more than 9 to 5 guys from CPA alone. |

Peeps... From my perspective, Having 1st class/distinction, 2.1/upper credit is only a title.....it doesn't guarantee career success. And those thinking Msc. Is a way out....... well u got someone to pay the bills.( its beta if you don't stop there ....get the doctorate and switch to the academia jeje). Peeps whose families are already looking up to em will know that Msc without scholarship aid isn't a good idea after nysc pop. Guys make we 4get grades... As long as you aren't lazy/shy/overambitious,having survived all the intellectual/emotional drills of naija's tertiary institutions, you can't remain hungry.

Tbliss12: No vex . . . 4 errors were in your write up, not was. I think this is one of the main causes of your current predicament, not just the fact that you finished with a 2.2. There are many graduates gainfully employed with a 2:2. These errors will give HR the impression that you are not widely read and have no interest in reading (or learning new things). Consequently, they will determine that you are not adaptable or open to new ideas, and are incapable of research whilst on the job. Just a piece of my mind. |

Having a 2.1 or 1st class dosent mean u will be the best person for the job and its shocking the level of discrimination with having a 2.2 in this country... Developed countries are already realising that having a 2.2 dosent mean u r not good enough that is why Ernst & Young one of UKs biggest graduate recruiters anounced recently that they will be removing the degree classification from its entry criteria, saying there is "no evidence" that success at university level correlates with achievement in later life. http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/7932590 When I finished with a 2.2 which was even a 2.7 CGPA cos of conditions I cnt explain here, I remembered ma brodas sayin ow u wan get work with a 2.2? cos they all finished with a 2.1 i was very sad n all But as God wuld have it I got a job less than 6months after NYSC with a pay higher then my brodas own.. Irrespective of my experience I always advice peeps in school to try and finish with a 2.1 as there are more opportunities.. 1 Like |

kokorodudu: When professionals and working class men places comment you discover them and accept whatever advice they've got to offer not a mere "pepper seller" like you who never in the first place passed through the four corners of THE UNIVERSITY Has it occurred to you that my CGPA when placed on percentage (%) its above 60%? And you are here typing trash "I don't deserve a job" I don't blame you when your children gets into the university you will see their performance and I pray they don't pay for A's on the bed with their lecturers (if they are ladies) So if you've got nothing to say just keep quiet and continue to read sensible people's post.

Its so pathetic and demoralizing that we leave in a country where certificate is the most sort after by our indigenous firms and even foreign Your grammar sucks! I have to be frank with you, why are you behaving like the world is ending? What do you want those graduates with third class to do? Believe me when I say it's not about the degree but what you end up doing with it. You graduated with 2.2, so what? What have you been doing since? Does your line of study have professional designations and have you gotten certified? Have you considered an higher level degree? Many people here have given you great advice, from entrepreneurship to obtaining a graduate degree, your choice is endless. Get up, dust yourself up and like Nike "Just Do It"! 1 Like |

Tbliss12: The issue is your conception sir/ma and its a misconception that had derailed many graduates especially those with 2.2. The fact is many first class and 2.1 holders are either jobless or doing a low income job. Let me tell u a brief story. Immediately I finished service I knew I was less privileged in terms of my 2.2 which would hardly get me a good job test invite but with my determination, strong will, hardwork and prayers, I got a 40k bank sales job just 2months after my POP. While managing that job I made sure I had decent exposure into the financial sector, I treked the whole VI, Ikoyi and Lagos island, nicely dressed distributing my CV, I made many friends here on NL and sometimes share info about gate-crashing one test or the other. I finished from a state university which is not even in top 20 schools in Nigeria and also with a 2.2 but I have a strength which is my knowledge of the financial sector which I use in dazing most interviewers. They often ask my why I finished with a 2.2. Today by the grace of God, I am one of those earning the so-called 'arm robber' salary and a full staff of a top financial institution with my 2.2 and no professional course 2 Likes |
