Most people go to school believing that they will get a job after schooling. In most developing country, the rate of unemployment keep increasing every year as graduate are produced every year to the labor market with a decline in rate of job opportunity. Using Nigeria as a case study, over 600,000 graduates are produced every year to the labour market with no job opportunity. This make the rate of unemployment increase every year.

This is seen in a case where some students went back to their school to demand for a payback of all money spent during their schooling period after graduating for years without job.

My question is: Does education guarantee a job.
Answer: No
Being educated means you are trainable i.e you should be able to use your acquired knowledge to creat space for yourself in the labour market even if their isn't any job opportunity. Education will give you some skills that make you different from an illiterate.
CONCLUSIONSchool gives certificate but doesn't guarantee a job. Education never fails, it's gives knowledge and skills. This knowledge and skills acquired through it brings breakthrough on the long run. Therefore, graduate should think beyond getting a job after schooling but plan on how to utilize the knowledge and skills acquired through their education to create jobs for themselves and others.
Education does not guarantee jobs, but it gives you a lot of opportunities to seize and create an edge over those uneducated and illiterate people around you. Education may not guarantee you the best job that will make your life completely changed and become progressive, but somehow the knowledge and skills you learned from schools will help you overcome the challenges in your life and create a better version of you that will make you an asset in your chosen job or career.
