My brother when I read your story I remember what I passed through. I have an done an odd job even with my master degree in the same environment. It was so humiliating but I didn't care about what people were saying about me. In fact in several occasions I have run into lady's I once have affairs with. They were so disappointed in me. But I still didn't look at anybody face. I was so focus and determined in the job I was doing. The proceed from that work I used to cater for my PhD program which no body new that I was doing. Today I have gotten my dream job. Am doing very well now. My story has change in their mouth. So it does not matter what you do now.what matter is where you are going my brother. 6 Likes |

naturalwaves: What about... You have the knowledge & skill... Business ideas too... But no capital or corporate structure to launch it? Like me.. . I once developed a school results processing portal ... With one big man promising he'll set up the required data processing center. ... But after the portal went live, the big man chickened out and everything crashed. Or being able to write good books/ scripts... But no capital to produce them? It's useless trying to sell scripts in Nigeria cos even if you manage to sell it, they'll pay you half peanut. So it is a two way situation... Work first, save ... And start an Enterprise with your savings (If one can't get work to earn and save, one would feel stranded like the o.p...) .... Not continue to work till you grow grey hairs. Those casual labor guys who are making money now already had the tools & structures inherited/leased from other folks ... While fresh graduates have nothing to start with |

If education alone is what makes one rich , NIGERIAN would have been the richest immigrants in the USA. This thing hit me like a bath of cold water when i first heard on npr radio that nigerian are the most educated group of immigrants in america. I went and google it and surprise that was true . And yet when it comes to wealth in america nigerians are nowhere near the JEW ( number 1 ) , INDIANs , CHINESE etc....! Time to wake up. This is a new world we living in . - critical thinking and creativity - entrepreneurship with goal and passion is what makes you rich . 3 Likes |

divinelove:'most landlords in most cities didnt go to universities, yet they are wealthy.' This reminds me of when I was in the Uni in Ibadan. As I was passing on the street arround my area, only this aged man was standing infront of his beautiful house, he uttered this word: 'God I thank you, many that even went to school did not achieve what I achieved' |

My brother. If you forget everything everybody have said here then dont forget mine. Money is a reward for creating value. Solve a problem for people and money will come. Dont chase money or happiness because it will elude you. Dont just start a business. Bring a solution. Every rich entrepreneur today is a problem solver.what problem are you solving with your knowledge. A real problem. 1 Like |

25k per month isn't much in this current economic situation, but you should see whatever you do as a learning curve. Start keeping a database of your clients, it'll be easier to sell other ancillary goods & services to them cos they already trust you. Instead of quitting, think of ways to expand, don't let your hardwork go to waste. |

Beosten: Can I teach you how to earn a decent living online as a freelance writer. You'll only be needing a computer, preferably a laptop, about 5k for internet subscription, a Skype account, a freelancer account on Freelancer, and a steady power supply. Even in the absence of a laptop, an Android phone should suffice. I'll teach you all I know. Also, you'll be needing serious prayers. Please send me a PM here or find me on Twitter @littlechibz. |

our Education system is faulty. yes, go to school but by all means acquire a skill and have a mindset of someone who wants to be an employer of labour. That's what everybody should tell the young ones arround them. |

if you actually studied building tech,then you should be thinking of husstling just for a while and be an employer of labor, just print out a business card and try visiting or relocate to a developing site,u can still be doing ur house to house teaching job ri keep body n soul whilst you visit as much sites as you can daily and try meeting with the owners to advertise ur services, you can include even all fields of building,Aluminium windows,carpentry, plus roofing,plumbing,bore hole,just general building contractor and you will be surprised @ what you can achieve lots of uneducated people had done these and succeeded, Better to think of ways you can put your education to use rather wanting to queue up behind a boss to show you the way after all time spent in school see urself Like the 1st B tech graduate in the country |
