Beyond the Diploma : 7 Reasons Why University/Polytechnic Graduates Struggle Financially
….Guidelines for Seizing Opportunities…..
By : Banji Alabi Esq.
Are you a graduate struggling to make ends meet? You’re not alone. Here are 7 reasons why degree holders often struggle financially:
1. They Don’t Think Beyond Their Certificates
Albert Einstein said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.” Don’t limit yourself to your degree. Explore, innovate, and think outside the box!
2. They Prioritize Certificates Over Gifts and Talents
Balance your passion and job search. Develop your natural talents and interests. Work harder on your gift than your job.
3. Certificates Prepare Them for a World That No Longer Exists
The world has changed. Skills taught in schools are becoming obsolete. Adapt, innovate, and stay ahead.
4. They Know Less About Themselves But More About Things
Discover yourself. Unveil your hidden treasures. Self-discovery is key to unlocking your potential.
5. Certificates and Degrees Can Kill Initiatives
Don’t let your degree close your mind. Keep it open to limitless possibilities. Take risks, innovate, and succeed.
6. Degrees Position You to Look for Jobs, Not Opportunities
Jobs are scarce, but opportunities aren’t. See problems as opportunities. Seize them.
7. Certificates Prepare People to Look for Security, Not Take Risks
Take calculated risks. Learn from mistakes. Persevere.
