So You’re Graduating…Now What?
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Ah, graduation season! The air is filled with excitement, pictures of proud graduates in white shirts adorned with colorful marker inscriptions (“sign out” as we Nigerians call it), and maybe even a few envious sighs from undergraduates. But hold on, there’s more to the story than the celebratory photos. Life after school can hit you hard, especially if you haven’t prepared.

Are You Ready for the Real World?

Let’s be honest, not everyone graduates with a clear plan. Maybe you come from a family with connections, and landing a high-paying job seems like a breeze. Perhaps you’re a diligent student, constantly upskilling yourself, ensuring a smooth transition. Or maybe you’re part of the “God abeg” or “on God” crew, hoping for a miracle.

The reality is, in many Nigerian homes, graduation signals the end of allowance. You’re suddenly expected to become financially independent – hustle time! Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Some graduates from privileged backgrounds continue to receive support even after graduation, even when they’re working or married. (Yes, it happens!)

The Shift: From Textbooks to Skills

Here’s the good news: this generation is different. Undergraduates are no longer waiting passively for white-collar jobs. They’re proactively developing skills! From freelancing and content creation to editing and animation, technology has opened doors for students to start making money while still in school.

Haven’t Honed Your Skills Yet? It’s Okay!

Don’t despair if you haven’t taken skill development seriously. Your NYSC year (National Youth Service Corps) is a golden opportunity! Use this time to explore your interests and build your skillset.

Tips for Undergraduates: Proactive Preparation

Here are some tips for you, the soon-to-be graduates:

Embrace opportunities: Apply for scholarships, internships, and attend relevant conferences. Networking is key!

Make your desires known: Don’t be shy about your career aspirations. Talk to people in your field.

Develop your skills: Explore online courses, workshops, or volunteer opportunities that hone your skills.

Prepare for the future: Start thinking about your finances. Learn about budgeting and saving.

Remember: Don’t fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others. The key is to “try your best, work hard, and pray hard,” as the saying goes.


Signing Off with Wisdom:

This is your friendly “undergrad” writer signing off. Remember, graduation is a new beginning, not the end. With the right preparation and a proactive approach, you can make the transition into the “real world” a smooth one. So go forth, conquer your goals, and make that sign out truly special
