Please I need advice, any advice.
I graduated with a 3rd class in Chemistry from three years ago (I only blame myself for that) and after I finished my NYSC a year ago I just plunged into a depressive state in regards to my mistake (my education) and my future (career) sometimes breaking down in tears when I think of things I've taken for granted in my life.
I started working on myself a few months ago and I've made some progress I proud of but every now and then it's easy to be overwhelmed with self doubt.
I made a cv without work experience along with a cover letter a few days ago and applied for a few entry level jobs like graduate intern, sales, restaurant supervisor etc via jobberman and the companies email but I'm not too sure I'll be getting any calls from them.
I didn't come here to get sympathy just an honest advice or opinion on what to do.
Can I do a pgd in chemical engineering or just chemistry or pursue a business or computer/tech course, are there jobs I can get with my degree maybe to get skills and work experience?
I deeply appreciate any advice. Thank you. see whether 1st,2nd or 3rd polish yourself ,it won't be easy but go business,internship,or programming. You will be surprised after few year,i was in your shoes 2yrs ago,i no dey allow people near my credentials because I felt it will belittle ,i started as an intern but after getting a Job as a maintenance engineer,i dropped all the low self esteem and i can tell you,even first class dey learn when it comes to "deliver job". I'm still going to try programming and business. You can enter my d.m to send me a msg for better talks. 2 Likes |

I think it is better if you say ‘seeking direction’ rather than ‘with no direction’ … seeking direction itself is a good direction.
Also I think you need to stop seeing yourself as inferior. Try to take your circumstances as an opportunity to propel more.
If job is not forthcoming, It may be God telling you that he did not intend you to be an employee but an employer. Rather than applying as a supervisor in a restaurant, you should be able to start one for instance.
If you still feel oriented towards academics, you have to ask yourself, to what end that is. Is it to equip you to be employable? How many of your classmates are working in a chemistry related role? If there (they) are, maybe continue down that road then.
Whatever skill you learn or acquire, you should ask yourself…to what end. If it’s to increase your chances in the labor market; that sounds reasonable but are there better reasons that could inform your choice?
Allow the opportunities that surrounds you inform your decision. I know young medical Doctors selling hair, I know barristers or law graduates doing events planning and I know many engineers working as tellers in the bank, unfulfilled in the role.
Look at the informal sector and do so with your best efforts. There’s certainly something for you there if your intent to make something meaningful of your life is strong enough.
All the best to you.
This is wonderful. The Lord bless you sir.

Go and learn AWS DevOps, if you don't buy a house in 3 years, come after me for refund for the wasted time.
You have e to be diligent and genuinely out effort into studying the concepts and knowing it. 6 months should be fine.
Below is a breakdown of what you need to learn:
AWS
Linux basic operations
Git and GitHub
Jenkins for CI/CD pipeline
Docker
Terraform
Prometheus/Grafana
If you can add Kubernetes to the stack, then reduce the time it will take you to buy your house from 3 years to 2.
All these things should NOT take you more than 6 months to learn, it has to do with IT and computer, but I tell you....if you can graduate with chemistry in Nigeria, (I don't care the class) learning all those butane, propane, tetrahydrocannabinol equation, then you can learn this stuffs.
The market is VERY hot for DevOps at the moment, after learning it, you should easily get a job of 5k USD per month, as a fresher....either you move to South Africa, UK,or US .....or you work remotely from Nigeria....the market is HOT!
Once you have 1 year hands on experience, expect to start earning 300 to 400usd every day....that's 150k naira, daily!
Yes! I mean this....if you earn 4million naira every month and you cannot buy a house in 2 years, then na you Sabi.
But hey....you have to study these things diligently for the first 6 months.
Anyone who doesn't understand what I am saying should search "AWS Devops jobs in UK or US". Put the job type to contract and see how much you can earn per day....
The question is, are you ready to study hard just for 6 month ??
Good day sir. Please how can I go about learning those courses, and how much is needed to learn them. And how can I get job after leaning the courses for six months? Thanks sir |

Hey, I don't know if you'll ever see this, as there are many posts before mine, but i was a similar boat as yours, I graduated with a third class about 3-4 years ago and this was after 3 extra years. I graduated with no skills and no experiences, inferiority complex and social anxiety. I was learning animation for a while before I decided to go into tech. Even though tech is stressful, the growth is exponential, even compared to what you see in other industries, you'll probably earn in your first year what others in industries like banking or insurance earn after 2 to 3 years.
You'll say your salary as a developer on nairaland and it'll cause fight, because many Nigerians cannot fathom how someone will earn that kind of money in this economy. Nobody will believe you. so basically tech gives you the potential to earn unbelievable salary lmao.
People outside of tech don't understand and think about guys telling you "let me build a website for you 10k". That's not the tech industry i'm talking about. on average junior devs earn about 150k to 350k here in Nigeria every month, If its a foreign Job, its about 1000 - 2000 dollars every month.
My Advice.
Pick up a laptop and do your research of how to go into tech, learn necessary skills like HTML and CSS and Javascript and a backend language, It would probably take you a year to be comfortable (I learnt for about a year or two, before getting my first role). Developers are in high demand in Nigeria, because many experienced developers go on to work for foreign companies remotely, so many Nigerian firms need to constantly hire devs to replace them.
This is the only advice I can give now, because it worked for me and I don't regret, I still feel some inferiority complex and social anxiety gathered over the years while i was in school due to the consistent F9's and my broke state (seriously broke all those years). But I generally feel a lot better than I did, I've made some worthwhile friends, I'm very comfortable and I feel I have a direction which I never felt all my days in school.
Of course I also pray, so God is very involved too. If you are an atheist, know that I have a lot of agnostic friends who are doing quite well (them boku for tech), but I know that personally, I couldn't manage without God.
If you're serious about this and want to give this a shot, quote me and I'll give you a roadmap or possible roadmaps you can follow to get your first tech job. Its not easy at all(you'll have to learn algorithms and data structures and read a lot of theory) but its very worth it. Yeah I'm actually interested in front end engineering, I did some research on it yesterday like on the below sites: https://www.codecademy.com/catalog (This one seems to have a structured syllabus for novices) https://skillcrush.com/blog/skills-to-become-a-front-end-developer/I read somewhere about a guy reaching junior level in 5 months, he said he studied for many hours within that timespan. I never expected it to be easy but I'm willing to learn (on a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the difficulty on learning frontend or a backend language?) A friend of mine also mentioned he'd like if I got into coding since I'm good with tech stuff. Which do you think is I should pick up: Frontend or backend? Also, after learning would I need certification/s or just a good portfolio? Thank you very very much for your comment. Your roadmap is deeply appreciated. |

Dude, remember that Dangote did not finish from any University. It's not about what you studied but what your purpose in life is. know why you are here and what you want to spend the rest of your life doing. I will advise, forget PGD or any other academic qualification for now and try to volunteer whatever skill you have for now pro-bono. Get more skill in whatever field your passion lies. Pay will come later. I recommend a book by Brian Tracy : Goals. It's a good book that will help you have perspective of what you want to do with your life. All the best to you! |

(if that's possible) so at least I can have a fighting chance applying for shell, moni pulo or maybe nnpc because oil& gas is why I choose chemisty, I don't know.. guy no oil company picks up a graduate irrespective of ur grade in school for an office or administrative role so take off ur mind from there. U can't get oil company job because u have good grades or master degree. Employment in oil companies are done Internally, the select from themselves, or those at the high arachy can pick their relatives or those that they're touched to help irrespective of ur grade school, so majorities working there came out with pass in school, oil company jobs is through man know man not grade and thats Nigeria for u. Instead of going for pgd if u really want to work there, go and learn things like crane operating, u can work there as a specialist, u can equally learn how to operate fork lifts. there are alot of companies u can work as an operator. Be a specialist, this days no company want to employ any graduate to keep u in d the office to do administrative job, that side is filled , the will always ask apart from being a graduate what else can u do ? So go for a skill and apply as a specialist eg crane operating u might even get offshore job, thank me later I stay in Portharcourt too, call if u need to 08165859931 1 Like |

One question you should ask yourself now is what do you have passion for as per career, from there you can take the next step. Another thing you can do is enroll for trainings which leads to certifications that suit your interest and career path. Employers these days hardly look at the grade you graduated with bit rather your experiences. So in the absence of work experience, these trainings and certifications will help you get a good job. Once again, 3rd class is not a death sentenceCheers. 1 Like |

Omooo bro. I also graduated with third class. The moment I entered the uni I lost interest in schooling. Though I was developing myself in other ways like sound editing, video editing and all these IT things on my own. Before I graduate I was able to at least have the skills to some average level. I wasn't scared of life...I never panicked, intact I was the happiest graduate of all times in that school, but my Friend that graduated with sharp 2.1 was so depressed because he couldn't make first class. Right now he's a teacher with a private school. Me on the other hand have worked with over 10 organisations from labels to NGOs to several brands.
Currently I'm active IT guy for about 4 NGOs. Plus other NGOs that will have a program for a period.
I didn't study computer science. But do u know the demand in IT guys by NGOs?? Something as simple as projector set up is very important in their meetings..if they discover you can also design thier fliers or edit thier zoom meeting or arrange the soun for their outreach and seminars etc they value these things.
I've been to several place with fat allowance just to be thier IT guy.
Bro. Since I graduate after my NYSC I've not seen my certificate again. I don't even know where it is.
In summary, nobody cares what you graduate with, they only care about what you can do.
I know we've been misinformed about attaching success to grades. . biggest lie of all times... Your grade has nothing to do with you success delivery.
Just find something u can do well that people will look for you .. And you are set for life.
I get xallls from everywhere for these services.
I learnt music production to work in studios...but I didn't know it will turn out that I ll work more for NGOs since I started editing thier radio dramas...
