I had a very tiring day. I couldn't say my day was bad or good all i know is that i was preoccupied with thought of which way to go, like what business someone can venture into that will be profitable at the end of the day? I tried few things, when I returned from NYSC; a year program meant for university or polytechnic graduate of my country, Nigeria. It Is called a service to father's land. We were told that there is no guarantee for employment, I couldn't just hold myself but cried deep inside me and heave a sigh of relieve, hoping for better tomorrow. What can I do when I have already been discouraged. So instead of giving up I decided to learn handiwork with the hope that at least if education won't give me job then I could start by being self-employed.
As a youth in late 20s, one is consumed by what to do, which way to go, how to make a living then settle down as one is not getting younger again, but can I tried it when I'm not fully engaged, like having a regular income not stopping. So I ask myself if I manage to feed myself how about the wife and the anticipated kids? I concluded that it will be a suicide in disguise if I tried it.
I don't know if this is applicable other nations of the world; in my country, education is not a guarantee for better life. So I ask myself if education is not a guarantee for better life then what is the best thing to do? I concluded that education is a waste when you could do anything with what you studied. The most painful part of it is that, most Nigerian's graduate are label half bake because they couldn't function effective in their area of specialization,but are they really the one that should receive the blame? How about the educational systems of the country that is archaic. How can a student who studied mechanical engineering in the four walls of the classroom perform brilliantly when the real task surface? Or how can a students show forth competent when the teacher or instructor is not well equipment?
We are in a country that frustrate the effort of its citizen. I don't really like to complain but when the situation has gotten out of hand then one has no choice but to voice out and find an escape root out of the wilderness of life. I do hope for better future for me and this nation.
I was of the opinion that perhaps, steem may come to my rescue having tried business but only to end up being deceived. Now I want to increase my activities on steemit, meet new friends then make connection.
