IF YOU ARE A GRADUATE, READ AND SHARE THIS. It breaks my heart when I see our people who are educated in the UK, have a Master’s Degree, doing odd or demeaning jobs. In most cases, it is not racism or that there are no jobs. It is usually because our people study and get the qualifications without the work experience. This country does not respect degrees, but it leans toward work experience, and you usually get work experience through volunteering. So, if there is a vacancy, you will stand a good chance of being given the job. I studied law after having two children, and the law firms were not looking for an ‘old’ man like me. With three young children, I volunteered in different law firms for over two years before eventually qualifying as a solicitor. My wife fed us through those trying years, but the story has changed for the better. My friends, you will need to ‘suffer’ by volunteering to use those qualifications. You will not die, and money will come later. The bills will always be there, and a better job will make paying future bills easier. I wish you all the best. My name is Dele Olawanle. I am a coach.
