As a new graduate just finishing school, I am faced with some much pressure of what the labour market would be like. Knowing I come from a country where the demand for labour is less than it's supply, it's quite painful knowing that you might not secure a Job in the labour market even if you are qualified for the job with your degree.
Over 900 Thousand graduates are been made every year from Nigeria universities, but there are no Jobs for the graduates who are new to the labour market and the government of Nigeria is not ready to do anything about it. No one is certain of his future because everything is more like a gamble.
Favoritism, Nepotism, Tribalism, corruption is what rules the day in my country. Even those qualified for certain Job postions don't even get the positions because those positions are been bought for money ,the highest bidder will be the one to be employed.
Someone qualified for a postion comes from a different tribe the person is denied his/her job . All these keeps me thinking , gives me sleepness night and puts me under pressure.
How would I cope ? How will I feed ? What's the way out this ? That's what I always ask myself
And I said to myself the only way out is by self development. I have to improve on myself based on what I have naturally or the skills I have learnt earlier.
I am an Artist so I plan focusing more on Arts at the moment, I want to improve on my painting techniques to make me more unique to stand out from other Artists. I am also into technology, I write machine learning codes for training models. I specialise mainly on supervised and unsupervised learning. Training models is one thing I love doing because it gives me the feeling that I am of solving human problems, that is based on the niche in which the training of the model is applied.
I hope to get a Job as a machine learning engineer.
I am also working as an unpaid intern in a Transmisson company "Transmission company of Nigeria (TCN). I decided to work as an unpaid intern in TCN so as to add to my Curriculum Vitae (CV) so as to add to my knowledge as am electrical engineer. I had to accept the work to learn from the Job even though I am not paid. These are what I concluded to do with my life to escape from the pressure within. I also hope to get better Art Jobs too. I open to making arts . You can text me on the comment box if interested.
