Wallowing in sadness or self pity is the last thing you should be doing, what did you study in school?

Upgrade, get a Master's, do a PGD if necessary, start applying for graduate assistantship in universities, especially the ones in your home state or the private ones, once you're hardworking, it's a good place to start, abi you no wan become VC of a university some day? Think big!

PTDF local Master's scholarship is ongoing, 2.2 is accepted, have you applied?

bodee:
please Sir, what's the name of the school?

CaesarDon:
shege45 don't give up hope, help is waiting for you

My advice for you is to venture into programming


I also came out with a 2-2 and I work in a tech firm that pays roughly 100k, I also have job offers willing to pay more.


I got the job almost immediately after graduating, mention me and I could be of help free of charge if u wanna learn how to code.

An advice to people in universities. Do any thing you can to come out with a 2.1. Don’t let that no job thing fool you. Read , cheat or buy 2.1, but do whatever it takes to come out with it. Get it first then listen to the no job story because your story can actually change with it. As for 2.2, there is actually no job unless you have somebody somewhere.

MrHighSea:

Funds?
Is 500k enough to start sth?
If given that, wat will u do to up it?
We can collabo. No jokes

I asked a couple graduate job seekers that question, no real answer.

vingeophysicist:
The op is really funny he doesn't know that Nigeria does not care about your class of degree.it's all-out connection here.
I graduated among the best in my department since 2015 and concluded service last year may but I'm not even bothered about job because I know the country I live.
My only mistake in life is not taking advantage of my gifting in school to build my future by now I would have been an employer of Labour but I'm working on that.I regretted ever channeling too much energy trying to graduate well.

nuggarito:
The op don't know shit about life, my elder bro graduated with a third class in petroleum engineering in futo, after 2 years of struggling as a lesson teacher and part time teacher, he is now a fulfilled man. Hes married with two kids has his own house with two cars. Don't be hopeless Mr op before I go I have message for you

FunnyDude:
Some people don't have the opportunity of going to school, here you are talking about 2.2 bullshit.

For the record, I'm even regretting why I went through school and wasted FOUR years.. Bullshit

Instead of going into entrepreneurship earlier and employ people like you, pay you like 100k monthly.You'll be happy right?

You think 2.1 is the end of it all?

If you don't have the creativity and brain you may die poor even with your salary as 2.1 holder. Bullshit graduate

I graduated with a 2.2, but my colleagues with 2.1 are not better than me. Why? I developed myself to be a better person.

It got to a stage I no more look for a job because I'm not happy being locked down from 9-5.

Registered my company name with CAC recently.

Get that freaking Skill-->Save Up--> Start a business.

You better open your eyes to opportunities around you, till then I wish you success.

shege45:
Let me tell you guys a brief story.
When i was in secondary school, i was the best student in my class. I was so good that I represented my school in any competition held.

Going to university, i still had that flare. I was still very serious. I read like a mad person , but due to some factors , my gp was really bad in yr 2 and 3. Regardless of the fact that I studied hard. Other years were good but it was unfortunate i came out with a 2.2 degree. If a degrees were to be given according to your level of seriousness, I would have made a first class.

However, i came out of school thinking that atleast its not like 2.2 is a bad result, It’s average. I tried looking for a job, but everywhere says minimum 2.1. I had to settle for a teaching job which i still do now. I have given up on looking for job because everyone says the same thing. 2.2 has made me believe i am no longer intelligent. People in my family, my friends , my colleagues at work all believe that i am intelligent. But my degree tells me otherwise.

Now here is what saddens me. A friend of mine whom i knew i was better than academically back in school posted a picture of a car given to him by his employer. He came out with a 2.1 (p:s he got that job without knowing anyone in the company,he saw it online and applied).Everyone in the department knew how he always passed his exams. Although i am genuinely happy for him, but I am sad for myself. Do employers think that we 2.2 graduates are totally worthless? Coming out with 2.1 is a nice achievement and many people who got it worked really hard for it but many factors can make a bright student come out with 2.2. I have been teaching for three years now and I sometimes ask myself, would I continue like this? I don’t want to be like some of my colleagues who are way older than i am and still teaching. I am 25.

An advice to people in universities. Do any thing you can to come out with a 2.1. Don’t let that no job thing fool you. Read , cheat or buy 2.1, but do whatever it takes to come out with it. Get it first then listen to the no job story because your story can actually change with it. As for 2.2, there is actually no job unless you have somebody somewhere.

jonath0012:
Lol... You are a very funny Op. We wey we get first class come join with Master's stil find it very difficult to get a job... we are still breathing

To be candid as I type I live on 20k teaching job per month.

Don't give up, Op!

Taiw:
wrong mentality. I graduated with a 2.2 in 2010. i did nysc 2011. i took a non paying job 2012as a network engineer as I wanted to get industry experience. I left after 6months. i had interview invites with different companies even with kpmg but did not succeed. I went back to the drawing board. I picked up programming. late 2014, i got my first paying job as a customer service rep. it was 90k. i got fired 6 weeks later and thankfully i got paid fully plus extra. i went into installing inverters for people. a skill i picked up from my neighbour within a month. I got a 40k job later in 2014 to teach chess in schools.i left after 3months for another 40k job in IT. by then i was becoming very good in programming. I landed a 70k job 2015 as a software engineer. from 2015 till date, i have worked for over 4 companies.I earn good money right now. A lot of mutinationals have contacted me and are still contacting me to join them. I have done interviews for companies in Germany, and Netherlands. Even though I am still waiting to land my first international job, I am already doing well. You dont have to be fraustrated. Its not about your certificate. Its about you. You must be flexible and be willing to learn at all time. I went from network administrator to IT support to Inverter engineer to customer service even to selling domain names online to blogging before ending as a software engineer. I made money from all these avenues. Someone told me, it takes about 5 years for a tree to grow. That was about the time it took me to make a meaningful breakthrough from the time I started investing in myself. No girlfriend, no films, no social life. I was always reading online and looking for ways to make money. There is no shortcut to success. do the work now .and smile in some years time. Dont be comfortable in your teaching job. The race is for those who are willing and determined. Do more research. Nairaland helped me alot. I had mentors from Ajanlekoko and even Seun Osewa. Seun told me to go for programming. i was always in the career section and business section. At one point. i went into importation just to make ends meet. All these skills except inverters, I picked them up from nairaland. 3 things I made sure I always have, data,a smart phone and a computer. If you have these 3 things, and you are not making money, You need to check yourself.

remonics:


be positive my brother, your time shall come. however different stories for different foes. I left school with 2.1,but 18 years later, am a taxi driver. my mates ate
managers of banks here and there.
but u know what, I still believe I can still catch up with them because am about becoming a lawyer.
not that I did not have my own share of comfort. immediately after Nysc I went into poultry, and I was quite successful till my farm had an outbreak I did not recover from. you are still young try and do something different. your time shall come.



Hmmm.... Thats d spirit

boy16:



Don't let life circumstances change your honesty... No Matter how much you study not everyone will pass.


Probably God has a choosen path of success that you have not known yet.


Just pray to God concerning your situation and he will guide you.


Note: It might also be a spiritual problem(battle).

Anyways just pray.

Ay04z:

Aremu01:
Oga 2,2 or 2.1..... U think naija cares?....
Don't blame yourself for coming out with 22. There are many 21 out there without a job.....
And asides.... Go. For your masters or something... And if you can get out of the country..... Nigeria owes you nothing.... It's left to you to decide your future

Are you serious or you just saying.... You know of any?
