If you have 1st class / distinction or 2:1 and you're still jobless, at least one of the following is responsible:

1. You're in a bad location
2. You read a bad course
3. You can't defend your result (i.e. you cheated in school)
4. Village people 😈 are deeply involved in your matter
5. You don't have a laptop
6. Na ecolé university for benin republic/others you graduate from.

I have a friend with a pass in computer science but very intelligent and brainee, can hack anything hackable, got a job with an oil company that many first class abroad sef applied and didn't get.. if you make your thorough research the 3rd class and pass if given equal opportunity will perform better in that job role than a first class, alot of different bad reasons could make you not get a first class but it doesn't mean you're dull. FOR example I self sponsored myself through a full time university for 6yrs with strike and covid in a numerical course and yet I finished with a 2.2, no financial assistance from anyone, I did numerous menial jobs to see myself through, so tell me will you say I am dull or not smart.

Do you think everyone has the luxury of someone sending you to school.
So to me if you're born poor, it's understandable, but if you die poor it's all your fault, no excuse do all you can to give your self a good life.

I see so many comments here on grades and all that...
All i can say is irrespective of what you graduated with, pick a career path that matches with your personality and stick to it, become better at it and get certifications. You're good! And this is for people who don't want to go through the skill route.

My brief; i went to university, Came out with 2.2 Ent and business mgnt.. when I started applying for roles, i was getting offers at the bottom of the food chain. Then i saw the need to upskill myself being that i was really good at managing people and bringing out performance in People. I begged my friend to take me up in his little organisation as an hr officer and was doing certifications, joined groups related to my line and got a mentor.. 6 months into that i updated my cv to a year as an hr officer and applied to a multinational company as a grad trainee in hr.. i got the job because i understood the basics.. Now I'm 4years in hr as a manager at my age.
Not to brag but I don't stress to get a new job.

In essence.. a degree doesn't stop you from developing yourself and standing out..

This is my experience and 2Cents.. I'm not here to argue but encourage someone.. byeee

People naturally will condemn what others have and they can't.

If you have a first class or second class upper, it means you are smarter than most of your peers. What you do with your smartness is what matters.

You may not have a job but if you refuse to GIVE UP, you will get one, no matter your course or qualifications. The world now is a global village. Don't let anyone pressure you. It takes that first job before the doors are unlocked for you. Of course you may have to move once you get that location.

How can someone not have a laptop in 2024? I don't think I can survive without one.
