ALTERNATIVES

Gone are the days of I want to be an accountant, a doctor, a lawyer; because even if you be, the tendency of getting your kind of job is slim. Nigeria has turned to the ground of survival of the fittest and this is aiding poverty with millions of youths out on the streets with no job to sustain themselves and their families. But then there is a solution to this, working in a firm isn't the only solution. I know must of us would have heard of the new trend, 'Networking'. It's one of the poverty killer available aside working in a firm. Networking gives you the opportunity to be a man of your own, you won't have to work for certain hours, you own both your capital and profit and you don't report to anyone. Every youth having nothing to do, this is your chance, you don't have to work in an office or your feild of experience, you can be a networker to actualise your dreams. Don't wait for the government or some rich man. Another is 'Agriculture'. Virtually everyone is turning to crop production and/or animal rearing. It sure pays but the main problem facing the is the land tenure system which I guess the government is seeing to. As an educated person you will have more chances. Save yourself from poverty, start a farm today. The last one I will like to talk about is 'Self-Employment'. You don't have to wait for the government before having a job to do. You can start a business of your own; you can open a store or start a school. There are thousands of ways through which you can avert poverty and build your riches. Don't sit and wait; stand and do because you are the only solution.
