To be candid your chances of getting a good job is very slim, I will recommend that you venture into good self development programs, maybe you should look at IT, IT gives a room for you to show what you can do. It is better you start immediately and give it your all or start a business. Engage fully in that during your NYSC and grow in it. Or if you are well boxed up travel out for greener pastures. You stand a chance to be far better than those that will queue for the limited job. I am talking from experience, don't throw all your hopes on getting a decent job with that grade in Nigeria, you might be heart broken. Just learn from your past failures and do it big this time around. 61 Likes 5 Shares |

As a man thinket... Ask yourself, are you wise? A 3rd class mathematics product of UI may be liken to 2.2 of most universities 1st class hasn't gotten a job, do you know favour might locate you. Why building a low self esteem? If evaluated, you could perform better than some 2.2 and 2.1 in the market because the quality of some of the products in the market are very poor. Mathematics can be define as the process of demolishing a building without using a bulldozer. You are good jaree. ![]() Do you know that some employers also understand that reason for low academic grade is not actually lack of basic knowledge about the discipline. Some companies still absolve lower grades because one still need to undergo training on using their applications and other facilities. Its only a numskull that can not get a job after attending a university[even a lucrative ones]. The only difference is the race. If other are running 1mile, you have to be ready to run 2miles. I agree that 2.1 and 2.2 are popularly demanded in the market but not in every cases. Have it in mind to enroll for PGD Yes you can get a job if you have the right information. 102 Likes 6 Shares |

Job? Are you joking ? Of course, yes! If by job you mean paid formal employment, then yes. But you are going to have to really work for it. You can always teach, 3rd class or not. Do you have passion for anything, because your passion, will carry you through this trying times. Even first class sef dey find work so finding a job Will be a tad difficult. You may need to go and acquire a certification to give you an edge. You studied Maths, so you have a solid engineering/science background. You have interest in computing, start looking for certification that position you towards becoming a network administrator. Computer related positions don't usually give a hoot about your grade. If you have the resources, go-to faculty of Tech, Department of Industrial engineering , ask about their SAP TEP 10 program, that's a good place to start. Anyway keep fit and stay good. 4 Likes |

No! You don't need a job, most 3rd class graduates always end up creating jobs and employing others instead. They think they're not good enough to compete in the shrinking job market and tend to work towards establishing themsleves. Don't bother yourself trying too hard to get a job thereby allowing other people to judge your intelligence and decide whether you're good enough or not (based on the fact you had a 3rd class). You can prove to yourself you're street smart and use your brain and work hard. Some are good remembering what they're taught while others are good creating what to be taught. You can create what to be taught by working hard and smart to be successful ; I tell you solemnly, people will throng in droves to ask you how you became so successful. The true test of intelligence is not by being successful in school, it's by being successful in life. 45 Likes 3 Shares |

The problem is not your class of degree, the problem is that we often graduate from school without any skills. A first class is no better than you. If you have a passion for coding, you can become a self taught web developer for free in 6 months. Let me see a company that will ask for your grades if u can deliver. Who grade ep? 21 Likes |

What you studied and graduated has nothing to do with your success. In Nigeria they are two things involved It's either you acquire other skills and get yourself useful or Get strong connection either private business o govt and your wahala is no more. Good luck 2 Likes |

Yes. That grade you see is important but it doesn't define what you'll become. You have at least more 60 years to live on this earth and your 3rd class grade can never stop you from making the best out of it. 10 Likes |

You can get a job, but not with your certificate In fact, don't accept any job by reason of your qualification. Your employers will use that to their advantage and inflict you with esteem issues. It is better to outsmart them, leverage on your strengths and get a rare skill. 4 Likes 1 Share |
