School and Working as a Nigerian Students
I wish I can tell Nigerian students to work as they school.
Forget that you are a full time student, work as you are schooling. You'll have a better understanding of the market.
When you look for part-time jobs as an undergraduate and you seem not to find one you'll have a better understanding why many graduates are saying there's no job out there and you can reposition.
When you earn from your sweat as you are schooling you'll understand better the next time your parents ask you to wait till month end for money.
When you work as a student you'll vividly see that as wonderful as what your lecturers are teaching are, you need more to stay competitive in the market/job so, you can easily bridge the gap.
When you work as a student, fighting very hard to keep your grades up and yet work with efficiency so as to avoid being sacked you'll understand better the pressure parents face in to keep both their homes and careers going.
I wish I can get these thoughts across to Nigerian Students. You can help me do that. You know at least one.
Thanks a lot.
Most Schools in Nigeria are not "work friendly" The schedule is so tight that you can't combine work with school.
So one will definitely suffer. Either your schooling or the work. Unless of course you are not a full time student and you also happen to get work with flexible schedule (which you will agree is hard to see in Nigeria).
But a side hustle which could be termed work can be done. Holiday jobs is also cool.
