Is Academic Degree A Criterion of Succesfulness?
At heart, as might be expected do we hear the echo of societal voices that there is(are) no job(s) anywhere, that the rich are the ones regulating virtually all things within the country, that all one would ever be needing is a strong and legit —though illicit— connections to get a job and blah-blah-blah.
Alarming it is with the way graduates keep applying for all job vacancy(ies) that is not in any way related to what their certificates reads of them to must have studied. Registering for every recruitment notifs found on their google mail box and social platforms bulletin, with them self-aware of those job alert deets not being an endorsed qualification to the bailiwick they majored while in tertiary institution. Them being self-conscious aswell of what they are indubitably capable of, as a person. Let us all put in check on how we act and react to every feeds on job vacancy(ies) and recruitment notifs.
Questionably;
How many job vacancy(ies) have you applied for or responded to? and,
How many times have you been called upon or mailed for an interview?

The painful truth is, not everyone will —and can— actually make it into firms, ministry departments or units, administrative sectors and whatnots. You might be having this mind's eye that of course, making it through the 6-6-4 system of schooling in terms of getting literate or knowledgeable as the case may be, would warrant you the afore cited job priviledges and what all but you, making it this far with education does not really have to make you go after what the majority are involving themselves with.
Every human is blessed with one gift or the other, that very hands that got you laurels during your primary and secondary days is still active and can still be revived to breed more, more and more creative yields beyond that very thought of yours.
Is it voice? It's a gift on it own aswell that could be heard across the walls of the world by relative ways of making it a not-half worth of creativity. Get yourself trained and believe in what those rhythmic and melodious cadence has got to offer to the audience and ears of the earth and the bodies existing in it.
We might have sometimes someway had some pep talk on acquisition skills, career burnishing and what have you at our institutional level or extra schematical sphere; let's make those hours of seminar noteworthy and put in great deal of determination —because we need more than money to be the best in whatever we do. To practice more to set ourselves on a distincting sort of ground from others.
Enough of what our parents decided for us to have studied, enough of the society restraining our choices of demeanors and enough of what our friends or peers decided of us concerning their opinions for us.
Enough of us doing what is not feeling our drives; it's not mainly by schooling that gets us EDUCATED, i mean how relevant is it to bone up dates and quotations of scholars that would never be a supportive stead of survival at the macro level which is the society whenever we are out of the schooling walls to actually adapt to the life on motion.
Personal efforts would always fetch us to being EDUCATED aswell, if we are willing to really push through the fences of oppression and suppression of the schooling system.
Get into self-exploration, fine-tune that innate self that you've got, get better at what you know how to do best —being better than the best, and create your happiness by yourself on yourself for noone else but yourself.
Being a graduate does not qualify us all for anywise desk job; for it's the drop-outs that are running and maintaining business-es' affairs and even employing graduates in recency.
Decide now!
Go after that particular dream of yours and make yourself proud but remember that you've got not much time at hand to dawdle.
So, iTitillate you to act lickety-split.
Motivated are you already?
Come on in others to have a peak glimpse of reading aswell.

Make a generative week ahead, and
Have a good day.

Mr Olawuyi... You have indeed created an intellectual requirement for the youths to ponder upon whenever they glorify their degree over talentism.. Well-done
ReplyDeleteiThank you.
DeleteBro, you might be a poor kid but u av an overwhelming rich mind. My brother, going through all those job notifications and not seeing my course of study mentioned once as the required field of study always breaks my heart, until I realize the above fact. I wish those still in school will get the opportunity of reading this!!!
ReplyDeleteUhmm! Even those that studied the courses on every job notifs are not been given the merit to actually stay joyous for studying what they've studied. Kismet they call it or Almighty's grace favours just the selected few to make it through with online applications.
DeleteiPray 'our very nation practice merit based system of justice to humanity and their endeavours as they claim of it.
iAppreciate the surge of your comment, sir.
Much obliged!
This is a very good one. All facts about the settings of the society. No lies. You've done great.
ReplyDeleteiThank you, brother.
DeleteMay life get us favoured.
Amen!🤲🏾
You're really a BLESSING.... This is a wake up call to the graduates in our society.
ReplyDelete👌🏾
DeleteYou've made a very good point. Even Mr. President said it, "do not depend on your degrees. I've seen a lot of youth coming to this realisation. Many are no longer conforming to societal standards.
ReplyDeleteSo help us all.
DeleteIt's an issue that's taken different assemblies of discussions. And I think these days, you're one of those who have taken the subject of concern to the view of benefit with stern insight.
ReplyDeleteEducation, from what I've come to realize, is a arm of two. It's a platform that raises to correct ideology and civilization. However, when livelihood is the point of target in discussion, education tends to drop to the definition of "means". Desk jobs are good. But what's desk job without the labour function? Graduates often force their thoughts to the corner of thinking their degrees should only earn them these lucrative desk jobs. Now is the time different indications have told us already that we've been wrong in that view, perhaps not absolutely. Desk job truly pays, assessing the contemporary economic structure.
Let students, graduates, people see to what their fleshes can give the society. Schools are not giving everything, and jobs out there are not calling everyone. In fact, the calls made out only reached few who stood high. Let's encourage Godliness , let's encourage aptitude. Let our youths stand as jobs, not just seek jobs that stand for them. Let's look into ourselves today and shine out. It's high time this flow changed.
You've done so well brother, so wise as a man should persuade. More Wisdom!
If ideas like this one fill the media, changes are hoped to occur.
Whoa!
DeleteRespectably apprehended.
Appreciative of the power of your perspective aswell.
You've crown it on a particular side.
Grateful for the indepth and apt insight.
