I Regret Bitterly Going To University. by nwaimostate5: 1:08pm On Jun 03, 2017
I opened this new moniker just to lay my frustrations as typical Nigeria youth who is tired of the whole system.

when I was in secondary school I was among the best in my class,is either I came first, second or third I never had any position below them.
my parents were so happy and proud of me and vow to train me up to University education even if it will cost them starving just make sure I attend University because they were poor.
After hearing this from them I became so happy and elevated (remember those feelings then that u will go to University, those feelings no be here) at that time I don't think about anything else except University, jamb,post utme , life in campus and any other thing relating to University.
I wrote my first jamb in 2009, scored above 260, then score relatevely high post utme but I was denied admission in one of the federal University in Nigeria not because I didn't meet the cut off mark but because I don't have money to runs the admission,I lost the admission that year and became so frustrated and dejected.
let Make it short, i have been writing jamb from 2009 till lastly in 2013 when I got admission to study marketing in one the state University in South East.
I,m in my final year now studying marketing just few months for me to graduate.
You may be wondering while i,m writing this,now let me tell you.
I,m writing this first because ......
1 I,m frustrated right now because after graduation I will start roaming the streets looking for job.
2 Had it been I use those time I spent in writing jamb and do business by now I would have been s millionaire by now.
3 Had it been my parents advice me to learn trade by now I would have been my own oga controlling millions.
4 I have to start afresh and enter the streets for hustling because there is no jobs out there, so why the certificate when I can read and write with secondary education.

Then, why did I spent all the years looking for certificate that I may not use tomorrow because streets pays more than salary.
I remember how I hustle during holidays to meet up the needs in school thinking after graduation good jobs are there waiting for me.
Should I said I wasted my time acquiring University education or what, somebody should answer me.
I think I regret Ever going to University.

You don't write like a brilliant chap bro. You are just an above average university student. Well, maybe the mighty weight of the crumbling educational system of the country fell on you, leaving dents in your once brilliancy.
Secondly, you are already a failure since you have finally resigned to be one. I understand that the country is messed up and the future might look bleak, but do you know if you look positively in that same direction you are walking, there is bound to be an opportunity you can grab and harness to your optimum benefits. Look around you, there is bound to be an untapped opportunity lurking somewhere,. Just make your self ready to go for it when you see one.

What you just wrote negates your earlier assumptions @ur post. If you are optimistic, you won't be scared as hell as you are now. U got frustrated because you never imagined things to turn out this way. Now is not the time for dillydallying, buckle up your shoes and be prepared to seize LEGITIMATE opportunities whenever and wherever you see one. I wish you success in your quest.

You don't have to regret going to school. If you are from a rich and connected family then you can go to school with the hope of gaining a well paid job. But if you are intelligent and without connection, go to school with the view of discovering something to contribute to the society in exchange of huge financial returns . If you are very intelligent, then make a First Class, stay back in the academic society and lecture to transfer knowledge. Ignore all of the above, then you graduate to queue up for the very narrow to nonexistent chance for merit - that is if you are lucky to come back from NYSC before 26. Stay away from faith, face reality.

Then try ignorance, "business" is good but you can't be assured of constant patronage and you've learnt a lot while in the University, you can still start a trade (business)

OP has a valid point and he is been realistic,people should atop castigating him...we have masters and PhD graduate outside who earn 200k...ask yourself this question...is that money?....... After all the books,the late nights and garri soaking.... We have masters graduates teaching and earning 30k in schools.. It is what I know!!!... My advice to people is that if you can read fine,if you can't...no problem..do business and make money....most rich men in the world are self made men not book men!!!!...school education while not overrated, is not everything!!!

Don't mind them until reality hit them with full force. Shouting faith upandan. Do they even know what faith means.? Believing in something not seen. How's that even related to reality.?

U are very correct bro, absolutely... Don't mind other blind commenters, but in a country where certificates counts more than your dexterity and prowess, don't you think its adviceable having one ? just in case..
Just saying..
