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.

BE FRIENDLY BUT CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS

In life, we will always need people. God did not create us to be in isolation. I guess that explains why Eve came into existence after the creation of Adam. . . . . As social being, we have an innate desire to connect with people, to experience dynamic relationship with one another. This need is as fundamental as our need for food and water. . . . . . So, my friend, drop that claim that you don't need anybody in life because you do. There is a symbiotic relationship between you and the society in which you live. . . . . . You know what? Solitary can be a terrible thing for human. Hence, everybody needs someone. Truth is, friendship adds to the fullness of life. . . . . . Hence, if you desire to become successful in life you will need people. No greater achievement was ever done by a single individual. You need people to be able to fulfill your vision. . . . . . However... . . . . . You need to be careful of the kind of people you associate w...
