My country pipo e go really make sense if you wey they seek for admission into the university learn at least skill wey fit fetch you income the reason why some of us find am hard in school na because we no learn handwork (skill) so the thing come become very difficult to even concentrate properly some days wey nothing day no food no money to go class go worry you and all this things really dey discourage somebody well well, those wey learn handwork before gaining admission into the university no really face much difficulty because them get service to render in exchange for cash aside ur schooling e dey very important to learn handwork before u enter school because that time your brain still dey young and not much responsibility to think of unlike when you finish school to come learn some settings kind of handwork that time go dey very very hard because you done dey think about your responsibility at hand and that time u fit no get chance unlike now wey you still dey mama and papa house this na my own experience and my regret.
Getting skilled before starting an undergraduate journey isn't a bad thing and should be strongly encouraged but however, but it is not compulsory. Some people didn't even have the chance to be skilled at anything reasonably because they got admission immediately after they finished secondary school and were too young to think for themselves that much before the time of their admission.
If not for the fact that our educational system isn't working well and that most of our parents didn't make the right financial preparation for there children regarding how to effectively see them through school, the undergraduate period is specially designed for academic purposes and should not be used for hustles and making of money. The reason why we've not seen much of strong graduates in our society today is because most of our youth are too focused on making money while in school at the detriment of the learning they are supposed to be undergoing.
Getting skilled is good but I think we should understand that education offers one of the greatest combination of skill you've ever thought of. If you put in the effort to learn all the things you're required to learn from your first year in school to your final year, I will tell you this with all sincerity that you will not go out of school looking for job. There are a very handful of individual that are strong academically in our country at the present and this is because most persons are running after grades while other have moved on to looking for money before ever creating values for themselves. If you create enough value for yourself while in school, when you come am you might struggle a bit just to blend into the society but once you do, the rate at which you will rise will marvel people.
