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.

FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery. I ran around the pitch in a pattern similar to pollen grains in water. I couldn't even trap the ball, mostly letting it pass through the hollow of my legs to the opponents. I was playing what was called "Shorting one" in our local parlance. Football wasn't just my forte. For me, it was eating the desert before the entrée in a four-course meal.  But it was different when I handled a pen and a sheet of paper. I could write e...

DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE ENDLESS BLISS AND FIND LASTING FULFILMENT?  Every individual born into this world is endowed with at least a gift, with which to achieve greatness in life. It is a great pity that so many people have not yet discovered or maximised their gifts- their source of wealth, impact and influence. And unless they discover their gifts, they can't rule their world. Discover your gift(s) and rule your world. Your gift is your source of wealth. Unravel it early while you still have breath because it is your primary source of influence and affluence in life. Creativity is an asset entrusted to you as a special gift to benefit humanity with. If truly you are genuinely created in the image and likeness of God that automatically gives you the assurance of possessing creative and innovative power both to invent and to discover new and profound ways of doing things.  On this note we all @ SCHOOL OF PURPOSE DISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL have brought the FABULOUS ...
