He is my friend and is on the verge of giving up on life.
Please advice him

35 no too bad to learn something na.
Some computer skills can be learn within a year.
He can still learn how to repair phones or PC

Him no go school?

It's never too late to start afresh. The most important thing is the willingness to start something, and the determination to succeed.

Let him keep pride aside and look for a skill to learn.

All the best!

Five more years to go.

It's not too late to learn a skill. When I was learning how to sew in 2011, there was a mother of four who also learned with me, her oldest was 19.

She owns her own tailoring shop today.

Na work or business them dey take feed wife and children, let him better himself first.

To go where

Modified.
At op, tell him to go and learn welding if he has the ion for it. Within one years, he should be able to get the basic. Down to the next 2to3 years, he would become oga of his own.

Which computer skills can fetch someone money both in Nigeria and Abroad because am planning to acquire one next year

Hezzyluv:

To go where

Something at 40 is something forever.


I'm just kidding. 35 is still a good age. You can still start over again, go to school, learn skills and be a whole different person. Age isn't a constraint to what you can achieve.
You're still young.

Freelancing or UI/UX

Can't he start something no matter how little?

Hezzyluv:


Freelancing or UI/UX

I can’t choose Freelancing because am not a good writer

What about web design,can it fetch money also?

Olasyke:

They're killing male evening newspapers and broke people now when they reach 40 years old.

I'm just kidding. 35 is still a good age. You can still start over again, go to school, learn skills and be a whole different person before 40.

See, if you can put your mind to it without distractions, jump into it without delay. You could be average within first four months of your learning. Leverage on that watch videos on utube. Perfect it and sky would b your limit. I know what I'm talking about.

Hezzyluv:

Cucuma say 60 years no bad naaaa, nonsense!!!!

Hezzyluv:


Yeah....

Yeah, age isn't a barrier to starting over or making it in life. Even Orlando owoh made it in his 70's

Let him look for any work and work without shame soon everything will fall in place

sometimes I wonder how some men can relax so much and reach such years with nothing,is it laziness,lack of seeing opportunities,lack of proactive thinking,procrastination ,or simply accepting mediocre living standards?before I was 25 yrs I already have a car,wife,two children and a small two bedroom bungalow,it is sad that not everyone can pull him or herself out of poverty and that reinforced my belief that success is tied to state of mind,there is a proverb in igboland that says,e ejigi mkpacha nsi egbe agba adaka ozo,which means you cannot use scrap leftover gunpowder to shot a gorilla.

He should accept that he has already bleeped up, and make up his mind to start all over again. It's better late than never oo!

He can still learn a trade or skill if he's willing. No job is too small too, and if he's diligent he'll get an helper.

Freelance has nothing to do with writing. Lookup what the word mean

Lol, you are judging a total stranger and comparing yourself to him. The fact that the guy in question has not achieved as much as you have achieved doesn't automatically imply that he is lazy. Mr. man, if you can't help others, let them be; don't contribute to their problem. Sometimes, words can be sharper than swords. Must you comment, he said his friend is on the verge of giving up, and you wrote this. Where is your conscience?

Kn

Get a skill or skills. Even people with regular jobs are upgrading themselves and getting new skills ur here chilling doing nothing telling us ure 35 with no wife or job?


Take responsibility for ur life.

It's not too late to learn a skill. He should forget about a wife for now and learn a skill. He can learn how to do POP, tiling or shoes. He should get himself entrenched in a community, like village groups, church and volunteer groups for networking so he can get jobs after learning these skills.
