Can You Hold A First Class Degree And Be Jobless? by JARUSHUB: 8:32am On Feb 26, 2018 |
Can a First Class graduate be jobless? Well, yes. First Class is not an automatic guarantee of job. It will at best get you invite for job tests and/or interviews, it hardly helps you beyond that. If you are not able to defend it or impress your interviewer or do well in the job tests, your class of degree will not help you. It can however be an advantage and a disadvantage. An advantage in that it can give you some air of confidence and boost your performance in job interviews. “I have no alternative than to impress”. A disadvantage in that you are likely to be drilled more than the non-first class graduates in interviews because the expectation will be so high, and any slip will be broadcast. Joblessness is also time-relative. For how long are we talking about? Not having job within 6 months of finishing youth service (NYSC), irrespective of class of degree, to me, is not a problem. Recruitment process takes months, jobs are not thrown at anybody like that. I don’t expect anyone that worked his way to having First Class not to be able to defend it anywhere. But, like any other thing, there will always be exceptions. http://www.jarushub.com/can-you-hold-a-first-class-degree-and-be-jobless/ 6 Likes |

In Nigeria, YES. So many graduates are trained to be employees thus they lack the technical know how and/or experience to start their own business. 7 Likes |

The first problem here is using the yard stick of education to judge success. They are two parallel lines that WILL never meet. Education was designed only to put you in the position of formal opportunity And not necessarily give you one. This is where your personal wisdom come to play.... Don't be surprised when you see so-called first class grad. Messing up big time. Especially now when they get to avert writing JAMB and get to private universities provided the money is there!! 3 Likes 3 Shares |

May God save us youths to see beyond tribalism, it has blinded us. Any day nigerian youths start to see them selves as a generation fighting for the same goal, thats when this whole sad situation of joblessness among us will end. #standupnigerianyouths 2 Likes 1 Share |
