For me, I concluded my schooling (Caritas Private University) and service when i was 22 years. I stayed with my widowed mother till i became 24. That 2 years was full time war because I battled within myself over my non- educated friends that are mostly into tanker and Container motor drivers flourishing while me that much is expected from had nothing but "thank you" whenever i finish eating my mums food ( not jealousy though)


Mid of my 24 years, i moved in to stay with my sister in Enugu. Away from home, i was more free to engage my self no matter how humiliating the work look.

I started with Teaching. I was paid 15k per month, after 5 or 6 months of saving, i rented my own apartment, Used the remaining money to buy rice, tomato paste and beans in large quantities. I made good savings before the year ran out.


The next year, i opened a phone charging place and employed a girl while I was still teaching . Money started flowing in small small. I had about 300k few months later so, I opened Firstmonie outlet.

I started massive saving. I was targeting to open an iron company where i will sell building materials last 2 years, but the required capital is too much so, I went into rice.

I am Thankful to God for where i am today.

You can still make it if you don't have a job. Just start as small as possible.

Move away from home and squat with your sibling or good friend if you are too ashamed or not free to engage yourself.

What's the start-up capital for building materials business?

Finished Nysc at 22.
Sat home jobless for 5months
Found a teaching job of 25k
did that for about two and half years
Moved out of the country last year
Still a work in progress

Am still a work in progress but I blv commitment and consistency are the master key to success.

How much do you have yourself?


The truth you don't know is this- rich men can't settle for broke girls who have nothing to bring to the table.

Let's assume you're broke, are you breathtakingly beautiful? How packaged is your ManCHESTer and ASSnal.

If No to those question, you better start looking for blue eyes to charm wealthy men, or get a loan to work on your body.

I am still jobless and there is nothing I haven't tried, believe me. Currently I'm managing my blog and hoping it will get approved for Adsense. I believe I will succeed in life. I didn't spoil someone's own.

Yet, you were not even born with a rubber spoon . They just gave birth to you like that . Which man will rescue you from this your poverty situation when you don't have anything to bring to the table?

You are so right, depression is one crazy dude�

Donald95:


Start something now. Depression may hit you soon. Looking at your school mate and age mate flourishing while you are koboless can cause depression

My advice to all young people reading this:

Whatever you want to do, please be consistent with it.....even if money is not coming in at the start, don't quit to start another thing afresh.....just stay focused, consistency is one smartest way to excel......if you can open a shop and be selling mobile phone chargers in one street, just make sure you are always in that shop 8am - 7pm if possible. Don't ever give people the impression that you are not always available. Just sit down there and be browsing your phone or counting people passing, believe me, you are building a future sustainable business place. Let everybody on that street know you as the phone charger seller! Be proud of it, and watch out.


Try this for 2 years in whatever you are doing now and come back for testimony

In a face of moving to a level higher than where I am.

Haha
My own easy die from skool I enter street from street I done rush 2 building now rent I dey enjoy now back to back all thanks to God and bitcoin....

Nice thread, OP.
I've never been unemployed, though I won't say I'm financially okay.
My side hustles sustained me throughout by schooling days (ND and HND) and during my service year.
I stayed at home for few months after I finished service last year October.
I started my retail business early this year and it's to God be the glory....

Was

Oops!

Ok I graduated far back served and almost a year after my discharge from NYSC ...my cousin whom was then working with a multinational company one of those Schlumberger affiliates then pleaded with me to come help him write a promotion examination .I went with him and after the exams the results were announced and he came up amongst the tops..so happened that some of the guys that turned up for the examination knew me very well and raised alarm when their names weren't listed amongst the successful candidates and the test was eventually cancelled and rescheduled for another day as the slots were for host community .

I was relatively very young then, the company liaison officer appealed to me to enter for the examination on my own standing but I turned the offer down because back then my views on people that go to drilling operations on rig platform are non university graduates or dropouts, a view I still regret up until now. Most of those guys are now big boys , some international staff earning hard currency and with properties in choice areas around town.

Well fast forward, I wrote interviews in two companies I was successful in both, one is an EPC company that is into power and energy solutions and the other is a drilling/,oil servicing company, the former offered to pay me N30k as a fresher while the latter offered N55k.

In my small and naive sense then I took up the N30k offer because I needed to gain experience on core engineering which they offered as against travelling to the high sea to drill or prospect for oil

Well my experience with the company was very rewarding in terms of technical capacity building and know how but the salary was abysmal although they later increased it to N168k monthly after about 3 years but I still have my regrets.

Now I have left the company and joined another where I do N400k but the job is anything but fulfilling because I detest lazing away without proper technical challenges

In all I'm grateful for my life..I'm comfortable financially but I should be in a better place by now.

Ok bye that's my story.

I'm in my late twenties and am still actively jobless, in fact make it seems like illusion in my hears.



please help me, am jobless, am seeing myself useless to myself and family.
