A GRADUATE’S VIEW OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASSROOM AND LABOUR MARKET

By Oyede Saheed

It is an established fact and rightly so that the difference between want and demand is the ability to pay.

In the same vein, experts in various sectors of the economy have consistently harped on the fact that as students or human beings, if you want a secured future, all you need do is work towards it, as a ship does not accomplish its mission without setting sail.

Human resource professionals maintain that Nigerian students must realise that what they are being taught in class is far behind what the labour market demands, adding that there is a huge difference between theory and practical.

So if you think the goodwill that your university offers you is sufficient for you to feast on, I want you to realise that such nice time is just for the short run because what you require to survive in the long run is the investment you make in yourself now.

As the popular saying goes, “The absence of war is not the presence of peace.” So don’t presume that because you have money today entails that you will always have ’more than enough money’ to cater for your bills if you don’t prepare yourself for the future.
Again, the mere fact that your boyfriend can take you to places today in no way suggests that he will be able to continue in the future. In the same vein, just because you are poor today doesn’t mean you can’t still be poor or rich tomorrow.

It all depends on how you want it and how much you put into your aspiration. It was Albert Einstein that said the problems of today can’t be solved by the level of thinking that created them. So by extension, your tomorrow’s bills can’t be catered for by your level of income today. Think about it.

It takes a strong fish to swim against the current. So as you navigate year 2014 as students in your various tertiary institution, challenge your mentality; don’t wait till you graduate; start some things now; you need to inspire yourself to achieve greater things in life because God will only reward hard work not wishful thinking.

Welcome to 2014.

ONE MAJOR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO YOUR ABILITY

By PRAISE AKOBO It's possible you may or may not have thought of 'responsibility' as a 'response to ability'. So, let's roll. .. .. .. Have you checked, how that, when you were given a task, be it in school, church, office, firm or even that which you gave yourself? Did you see that, somehow, you felt lackadaisical at first but decided to take the bull by its horn? Now, the ability to do that was resident within, but came alive when you chose to act, this is why you hear words like UNTIL YOU GET STARTED, YOU CAN NOT START. .. .. .. I discovered that I understood something's about myself when I was given a responsibility in an N.G.O and accepted it. Just like you, I hesitated but until today, that has been a major factor in my growth. My NETWORK grew as well my NET WORTH. Lets say for instance, you are asked to be part of an Editorial Committee, you finally accepted, then along the line, you discovered ...
