What Next After Graduation/School?

This has been the question of most young school leavers. Always trying to know the next thing that will follow suite after graduation from the University. One may ask, what if there’s no job at the moment, how do I cope, how do I survive. Honestly, this article is actually for you to know what to do and how to do for a better tomorrow. “It is not to graduate that is the issue but what follows after your graduation is the matter”, S.O. Nkem (2019). Read through to see actually what next after graduation or after school.

What Next After Graduation/School?

“…I can’t wait to leave School”

“…I can’t wait to wake up to no rush for classes or for tests”

“…I can’t wait to be independent and face life.”

“…I can’t wait for this, I can’t wait for that.”

These are usual voicing you’ll most likely hear from middlers or finalists in the University.

I won’t be wrong to call it the “Voicing of Ignorance”…

Why?

Life begins even whilst one is an Undergraduate.

Life after School is only a continuation of Life in School.

Nothing really changes.

The Life you build in School is a head start for the Life you continue building after School.

You see, Life is likened to a Race.

We are the Racers – Runners.

The Wise Racer keeps practicing towards attaining perfection; in order to Ace the race.

The Medals we win on the race are those little yet big things we contribute that improves our immediate environment and the world at large.

There’s no time to respond to anyone on the race as much as there’s no time to be Ignorant and Unproductive in Life.

Hence, whilst in School, have a Drive.

If you’re out of School, it’s not so late, also have a Drive.

A Drive; a Push that shifts you from being Static to being Dynamic and from being Inert to being Active.

Have the Drive that will create in you, the desire and ability to conquer your environment.

Don’t sit back and wait for those “Almost-never-coming” White Collar Jobs.

The Collar doesn’t have to be White.

Be the CEO of your Brown, Blue or Red Collar Job.

You can be your own Employer.

God in his creativity has placed in every man the ability to fulfill the Dominion mandate he gave to man.

These abilities find expressions in us as we recognize, develop and invest in them.

What’s that thing you Love doing?

That’s a pointer.

That’s your ability.

Maybe Writing?

Then you can wow the world with your great literary works.

Maybe Speaking?

You can fan like a flame, the potentials and hopes of people with your Words.

Maybe Painting/Drawing?

You can make ideas and thoughts real with your work of art.

Maybe Cooking?

You can feed nations and let them taste the essence.

Whatever it is you Love to do, you can improve on it and develop it…  That’s another Plus to the world.

The Good thing about this is, VALUE ALWAYS ATTRACTS VALUE.

As you offer Value, you’ll get Value in return and many times, it’s monetary value, that can sustain.

The world won’t be harmed if you Square-head the Biggest Innovations.

The world won’t go extinct if you’re the brain behind the Greatest Inventions.

There’s always Vacuum for Achievements.

*If the Government can’t create Jobs, you can be your own Government and create Jobs.+

It was William Jennings Bryan who said, “Destiny is not a Matter of Chance, but of Choice. It is not a thing to be waited for but a thing to be achieved.”
