actually in this our generation everyone is looking up to making good money and looking into what others do but dont think outside the box. for example majority of graduate all over the world end up looking for white cola job after graduating from school because they think the time they spend during the academic session will not be in vain, and must work with their certificate. and this has created massive unemployed youth all over the world, leading to mass number of unemployed consumer with no/less production, meanwhile they would have started up something no matter how small it is. one of the reason why most graduate couldn't start small is
1] no capital
2] pride
3] no good mentor
in all i think that pride is one of the reason why most of them remain stagnant. for example i have a friend who graduated but do to pride of his grade in school didn't allow him to do anything apart from getting a job in the oil and gas sector, after much more he summoned courage and started a livestock farming, he started small with less than $100 but today he has high number of fish and pig in his farm, so he has created supply instead of demand, but if he was still waiting for his certificate to pay him, he would probably be at home and maybe become frustrated, and think he has wasted the whole academic session.
moral of the lesson, dont hope or expect that what you learnt in school must pay. most rich people today didn't achieve success from what they studied in school but what they could offer after graduating. dont despise the days of your little beginning.
Everyone always wish to be a successful person. But sometimes life has different plans for us. Some parents works every hard to educate their children to have a bright future, some children focused very well on their studies, work very hard, and dedicate all their time to school and studies, just to become a great person in future and make their parents proud, but at the end of the day their dreams becomes shattered. Because they couldn't secure a better job after graduating from college or universities. If we really want to talk about the effects of unemployment on school leavers and their parents or guardians it really going to end up in sorrow.
Being educated doesn't guarantee anything non being able to be a successful or great person. Certificate only pay for little number of people and not for all, except if you have any connections.
Your skills, ideas, knowledge, understanding and experience helps a lot, and that is the main reason why you should focus on your studies while you are still in school, and stop depending on your certificate. So that even if you graduate and you were not able to secure a better job, you can come up with a good idea and be proactive and think wisely and perfectly on what will be suitable for you and generate more profit/income for you to sustain you and your family lives.
Talking about pride.
It is true that some people find it really difficult to involved themselves in any local hand work, because they are feeling superior thinking that people will mock them because they graduate and they couldn't get a better job.
Well as for me, a work is a work no matter how small it is, as long as it is legal and you will received payment for your job appreciation no matter how little.
The little advice that I have for unemployed graduates is that, No one is born with a silver spoon. And journey of a thousand miles always begin with a step. Is not everyone that their success bond with white collar job, Always make yourself inferior and work very hard and the whole world see view you as a superior. Sometimes the job you look down on, can change your life for good and make you a greater person. Any little opportunity you have, grab it and always make proper use of time.
