This is the most difficult question that most graduates, and those about to graduate ask. Once you graduate, you are now in a new playing field, and the game has definitely changed. You don't expect things to remain the same.
After spending four or five years studying, it can be a daunting task adjusting to life after university.
Yesterday, I was with a friend who is about graduating, and we spoke a little about the future. One thing I realized was that some of us tend to look at only what we do with our certificates after graduation. You hear thought like "My course is not a professional course meaning no work for me" Or "I graduated with 3rd Class,my life is doomed". Don't get me wrong, it's good to study nice courses and certainly get good grades, but does that mean that if you were not privileged to attend the university, your life would be useless??

I have a few questions to ask intending graduates
What is your life plan?
Do you intend returning to your sponsors with only a certificate and a dull future?
Are yu planning on providing for those around you?
Would you wait five years before you get a well paying job?
What do you plan on doing with your skills after graduation?

They say the journey to destiny begins the day that purpose is discovered. Wanting to work for a company is not a bad idea at all. Everyone wants a job that is stress free and high paying. Yes!! This is basically why some people attend school. But let's say that you end up graduating and you can't find work, are you a failure?? The answer is No.

To those in school, and those who have already graduated, your future does not rely on anyone, we all have the power to make ourselves successful. There are lots of resources at our disposal, they may be few,but with consistency they would definitely add up. Learning a new skill outside academia can be very helpful, it may help increase your chances of employability or better still, you could be your own boss. Learn a skill and develop yourself in thatt field. There are graduates out there who make a living from website and apllication programming, graphics design and even photography. Some are good when it comes to data management and others in sales and marketing. Do not be discouraged of starting small.

Welcome to the world of Entrepreneurship, if you do start early while others are still scrambling looking for the white collar jobs,you would definitely be ahead and with far more experience.
Wake up to the realities of life and start preparing, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.
START NOW!!!
