1. LIFE AFTER COLLEGE
PRESENTED
BY
SCOTT ODIGIE

3. What any human being
is in search for today is
not a good job, or
wealth, or a spouse,
nor a fame but
fulfilment; happiness.
Ecc.1, & 2.

4. Several thousands of
graduates are been
released into the real
world as it were; a world
where all economic
systems are failing
drastically, uncertainty is

5. increasing in geometric
proportion, marriages
are crumbling, and
several individuals are
losing their minds daily.

6. The question we should
ask ourselves as
graduates should be,
“what should I do to be
exempted from these
decadence?”
Some of the facts in our
present world today:

8. 1. Economic
downturn: money is
failing, investments are
crashing. It is not new!
Our patriarchs of faith
experienced and
thrived in it.

9. 2. Unemployment: Job
Recruiters say ‘It is difficult
to recruit good staffs.’
Captain of industry say
there are Jobs but we
cannot find experienced
and employable graduates.
Graduates say:

10. There are no jobs,
governments should create
jobs. Government say: It is
not the business of the
government to create jobs it
is the duty of private
enterprises. Pro-
Entrepreneurship says:
From

11. soil to oil now something is
boiling our oil tanks are getting
exhausted we need more think
tanks Look at our “graduates” &
see unemployment riding high
Look at our needs as a nation
& see the many opportunities
to create solutions.
ENTREPRENEURS are
wanted!

12. 3. Increased separation
and divorce statistics:
this is one of the most
abused institutions in our
uncertain world. And when
anything becomes
predominant in life it could
become a belief system.

13. 4. Leadership crisis: the
greatest challenge we
are faced with in our
nation is the challenge of
leadership. We must
understand that
everything rises and falls
on leadership.

14. 5. Entrepreneurship
mediocrity: as you
are so is your
business.

16. 1. Supernatural
Proficiency: there is no
future anywhere but in God.
God is the first employer of
labour, empowers people for
inventions in manufacturing,
impresses visions & dreams
in peoples imagination etc.

17. 2. Upgrade your
passion to a financial
stream: follow your heart
and live your passion.
This will eliminate
confusion but get you
more precise about your
decisions.

18. 3. Device Strategic job
options: for instance, if I don’t
get a job in say 5-6 months
after graduation what are my
options? To set up a business?
Or do some menial jobs less
than my qualification? Travel
abroad for a post graduate
course? Etc.

19. 4. Review your resolutions
with changing economics:
carry out PEST analysis.
Coming out from college
with great ideas you had 1,
2 or 3 years ago, must be
reviewed if it would fit in with
present economic realities.

20. 5. Upgrade your degree:
we must understand that
education is not
synonymous to literacy.
Learn to give your degree
a boost; the competition
is on the high side.

21. 6. Work to learn and
not to earn: great minds
and dreamers don’t work
for money, they work to
learn and improve on
their character and
proficiencies.

22. 7. Make every moment
count: be a goal setter.
Stay with the right
people, read the right
books, attend the right
seminars, get the right
information, go the right
places etc.

23. 8. Be information-savvy:
we live in a fast growing
world. Therefore, position
yourself for the acquisition
of relevant information on:
career trends, CV writing,
job opportunities,
internships or placements,

24. 9. Develop the
Character-capital: a
good name is much
more valuable than
money.

26. You will succeed!
Thank you for
listening.
