Let us be realistic to ourselves, is good to extreme to wait for government to make provision of every in a country, sometimes when we graduate from higher colleges we expected government to create employment opportunities but in some points government keep adamant of making employment be visible and available to the mass, on my instinct I said without government employment man can survive, I started a popcorn 🍿 business which I managed alone but right now have workers under me which I'm paying and now planning to establish another business.
Creating jobs is the state's obligation to reduce unemployment in a country. The government must also facilitate its citizens who want to work abroad, from all the departure processes to the guarantee of getting a job after arriving at their destination. Not all are lucky from the jobs provided by the government and the government cannot guarantee 100% that there will be no more unemployment, you need to find solutions to solve employment problems without having to depend on the government.
Starting a personal business is one of the solutions you can do to survive, I think most people out there have made the same decision as you. Learning to be independent by hiring other people is a pride for yourself, even though the business you are building is still relatively small, you are the boss.
