Students, Start Now To Prepare For Life After School (A Must Read For All Students)

Let’s make something clear, “students think”.
In fact, students think a lot about money,
drinks, parties, opposite s*x and so on but
most importantly students think about their
lives after school, which is good.
The bad thing however is that what they
think about life after school are majorly
unrealistic thoughts like, “hey, I am finally
in 100 level studying economics in Kogi
State University, and I’ll graduate in 4
years’ time, then go for service and
probably do some masters and PhD thingy
then get a job and make money”.
That’s so unrealistic that its makes WWE
wrestling more real. Its plain garbage
thought you need to start getting out of
your head. This life isn’t Hollywood, and
when you’re born into one hell of a
country like Nigeria you need to wise up
and start thinking with your “brain”.
If you can take your time and look outside
your window to see millions of graduates
roaming about the streets you’ll probably
understand that it’s not as easy as you
think it is, if it was that easy your parents
and your friends parents and all parents in
Nigeria will be multi billionaires and you
may not even need to go to school.
Life isn’t easy, and Nigeria is making life
even harder for Nigerians. The labour
market is so choked up, it will take extra
power for an angel to pass through. There
is hardship in every corner of the country
and the earlier you realize these things, the
better for you.
So instead partying and smiling all around
school why don’t you sit yourself down
and not only think logically but also plan
logically. These topics might get you onto
the right path:
– First and foremost you need to realize
you only have one life to live, every
circumstance you find yourself will most
definitely come once, you don’t go to
primary school twice, well, except you’re
going there the second time to teach or
something. My point is, in every situation
you find yourself you have to try hard in
making the best outta that situation, if you
don’t succeed, it’s okay, at least you tried.
– Ask yourself questions, like why are there
few rich people in the country, what can I
do to get there, what are my potentials,
what are my weaknesses. You have tons of
questions you should start asking yourself.
– You need to start tasking yourself. Are
you too young to make money?? I mean,
there are lots of unemployed graduates out
there who still depend on their parents. I
know you don’t want to belong in that
category when you’re done with school.
You need to know what you have to do to
make that money so you do not have to
depend on anybody.
God has given you a talent, why don’t you
discover it and start using it to make
money now. There are tons of things you
can do as an undergraduate that can cough
out money for you, you just need to think
and plan on how to strike a balance
between your academics and what you’re
doing.
It’s not how petty the job is or how little
you’re earning. It’s about knowing for a
fact that you can do something to improve
your situation.
A lot of OND, HND, BSc, PhD holders are
out there (those certs are common these
days), some even have all those certs with
them at the moment but have nothing to
show for it because they failed to realize
that school is not about learning on how to
work for a boss, it’s also about how to
develop yourself to being your own boss.
– You need to stop thinking about your
future and know that the future you are
thinking of is “NOW”. You have to start
thinking and planning logically from now
on.
– You need to start encouraging yourself to
do things that’ll make you big. Forget
where you are now, it doesn’t matter, its
where you’re going to be when it’s all said
and done that matters.
Forget the fact that you stay in Dagana or
you stay in one shady place around KSU,
and your fellow mates stay in billionaires
lodge or exquisite lodge (it’s probably not
their money anyways), it doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you are formulating a
plan that will change your situation when
four years is done and dusted.
– All in all you have to think of doing only
what’s necessary to get that money, not
something people like or what they don’t
like, not what brings shame to you or
doesn’t bring shame to you, you don’t have
to care what people think about you, ’cause
at the end of it all it’s you and only you
that matters.
Nobody remembers the disgusting or not
disgusting things Dangote has done in the
past, because it was necessary to get him to
where he is now, “the richest man in
Africa”.
