Hello everyone, i need your advise about a step I’m about to take

I’m a university graduate from one of the top Federal Universities in the country, my field of study is related to agriculture and since I finished school about 6 years ago all the jobs I’ve been getting isn’t really paying enough, they are mostly farm jobs paying 30-35k at most, I’ve considered setting up myself but tbh I have no back bone and it isn’t easy.

I’m 28 and I’ll be 29 this year then I decided I’ll really need to learn a skill if I want to be relevant in the society because sooner or later I’ll start considering settling down and all.

I tried learning tech stuffs but I have to be honest to myself I’m not a tech person, I try forcing it but no be my way, it’s better to be honest with myself, I’m not the kind of person that likes sitting down staring at screens for long even my phone.

I’m a natural handy person, that’s one of the things made me go to that field of study in school(Agriculture), I learnt a bit aspect of the tech which I enjoy to an extent that is drone piloting but I don’t think that is something I should sit with.

So I’m thinking of learning an handy skill which is why I need your advise, I’m ionate about painting, infact I’m good with it and it’s all self thought but I’l don’t want to go into it full time because I’m scared of height, so I’m considering learning POP and house interior which I’ve taken a step to start learning. I

nfact I have the money to pay and I’ve gotten someone to start teaching me already, why I opt for POP is I like the job and it’s an handy work plus Real estate is booming so skill related to real estate should be a hot cake at the moment.

I’m going in full time to learn and im ready for the adventure, because to be honest with ourselves if I keep saying I will land a good paying job due to my certificate and All,.

I might just keep waiting and might not move forward and time waits for nobody.

So Nairalanders I need your advise or your opinion do you think I should take this step? , do you think I’m making the right decision?

Thank you

This country is finished! I won't even expect this from somebody who just did SSCE.

Go ahead and learn it.
A skill in the building/construction sector is okay.
In 6 months time, get your Trade test certificate and you are good to go.

You want other people's view so that what will happen exactly?

Go and man up and take responsibility of your life. Some of the people you seek their view here cannot equate their lives with yours so why do you need their approval?

Guys like you will hardly live their lives, they will end up living people's opinion and when it's too late end up regretting.

Be in charge of your life and take the responsibility whatever be the consequence.

If you had asked between XYZ skills which one to learn I will understand not if you should go and learn a skill. Who does that?

Anyone can seek for advice, irrespective of age and level of education.

Just go into farming, since you studied agric... or sell sex drive sups.

Nothing sells more than food and knacks, no matter how country bad reach... person go chop and knack.

Good luck

decision you would have made when u left secondary school.

Its not your fault its the government's

Please while considering what skill to learn the only factor to consider is the pay.

To be honest I will advice u to go into poultry business.
This business is more lucrative than the pop stuff u talked about.
Poultry business is the new gold mine. My mom was into it and raking a whole lot of money b4 she ed politics. Now an aunt of mine has leveraged on my mom's and is making massive sales from eggs and chicken.
This is a business I will encourage Nigerian youths to go into.
Another business is bird feeds, or as u guys call it feed business. Its quite lucrative but not everyone can deal with the smell.

I highlighted the points above for u cos u have an agricultural background. Do not let it waste.

Shalom!

The grammar for the topic really said that you are a Nigeria graduate

Before they start abusing you for bringing ur matters to NL or seeking help when need be

Lemme shaperly advise you

You don't even have to think about it twice
There's no reason for putting you are graduate there
Nobody cares
Graduate wont pay ur bills
Go get that skill and be ur own boss as fast as possible

Entrepreneurship and business setups pays far beta than what that graduate status can get you ( in most occasions)
Wish you the best

I encourage you to go learn POP and house interior.

.

Don't learn ali..dem no dey tell man,when you round the whole of your state looking 4 work,ur eye go clear

That's the best for you.
You can combine the POP and painting, it will be an added advantage.
Me too na graduate I be, but Okrika I de sell

Reading...

Ok
