jobs seen as less priority can be the top priority if only you can give it a try

The level of happiness is far varied so that each other will definitely have differences and I am sure happiness is not always seen how much money we have, even though I agree that money is needed in supporting a better life and to get happiness. Of course there are significant differences to the rich and poor people, but I think we are too materialist to make these differences. You will be happy in your own way and vice versa with me and others out there but should not be on money but in the way we live it.

Rich people are more problems sometimes they have to take care of business and not have time with family and friends. Then where is the location of happiness if we live like a robot that every day thinks of money and business. I made an exception but in my opinion living in well -being is much better even though we are not as rich as most other people.

That is what I mean, money doesn't "guarantee" happiness, but it definitely helps you a lot to have it than not, to be happy. One main reason, having no money and debt, means you are going to be unhappy about having debt and no money, meaning if you do have money, then you are going to feel happier, or at least not going to feel unhappy about not having any.

So there is no natural "bad" thing about money regards to happiness, it doesn't make you unhappy, in fact it makes you happy instead. Could you still be unhappy while being rich? Sure, but the odds of you being unhappy if you are poor is higher, so I rather have money and see if I can find a way to feel better. Hell, at worst case, I would just go to best psychologist I can find and pay whatever, to feel better.

[Cookdata]

moral of the lesson, dont hope or expect that what you learnt in school must pay. most rich people today didn't achieve success from what they studied in school but what they could offer after graduating. dont despise the days of your little beginning.

There is nothing bad when you porsue academic performance to get some certificate but it's when you go to school to get money is what I really dislike. Going to school because you think after graduating, you are going to be richer or it's a way to run away from poverty is very bad thing to do, there is every chance that you will get nothing at the end of the day, you might get something doing to give you food but you are not going to be rich for going to school.

If you want to be rich, invest. There are people that are rich today, they didn't go to school to ever in their life but they have established business that has employed student that went to the four walls of the education system that has failed them. You want to be rich, use money to get more money through reasonable risks and not all sort of ponzi schemes that will run away with your money quickly because people that have ambition to become rich quickly end up in scam groups.

I have seen nothing that destroys someone's future when they have pride in them. Pride can make someone not see the brighter of the little things they can start by themselves that can yield progress over time.

Many graduates are just full of themselves, not to start up small. They think that their certificates will fetch them good-paying jobs. Working in any job with lesser pay is a no for them. I like the fact that some graduates are learning to readjust their way of thinking to let go of their pride, to start up small in any legit business they can find themselves in.

So many graduates have missed opportunities because they feel it is not up to their standard as graduates. One thing about job opportunities is that you can never predict or get exactly what you want; it is always best to grab the opportunities you come across. They might even be the best you can have. Hold on to them, and when something better comes along, you can leave it and accept the new opportunity. Many people just want to get exactly what they are looking for, and they are not ready to accept another offer. As a result, many people like this stay and wait for their preferred job, and in the end, they remain where they are.

actually in this our generation everyone is looking up to making good money and looking into what others do but dont think outside the box. for example majority of graduate all over the world end up looking for white cola job after graduating from school because they think the time they spend during the academic session will not be in vain, and must work with their certificate. and this has created massive unemployed youth all over the world, leading to mass number of unemployed consumer with no/less production, meanwhile they would have started up something no matter how small it is. one of the reason why most graduate couldn't start small is

1] no capital
2] pride
3] no good mentor

in all i think that pride is one of the reason why most of them remain stagnant. for example i have a friend who graduated but do to pride of his grade in school didn't allow him to do anything apart from getting a job in the oil and gas sector, after much more he summoned courage and started a livestock farming, he started small with less than $100 but today he has  high number of fish and pig in his farm, so he has created supply instead of demand, but if he was still waiting for his certificate to pay him, he would probably be at home and maybe become frustrated, and think he has wasted the whole academic session.

Investing in ourselves in one of the ways we can make money in these trying time when good paying jobs are not available for those that don't have the connection. This is why the rich always get rich why the poor would have to strive to earn a living. There are some persons that don't even have $10 of their own, all they do is to eat from hand to mouth. It would be very difficult for these kind of people to getting into livestock businesses because this requires lots of money.

To be frank, your story is not clear. It's just like motivational speakers trying to make you subscribe to their thoughts and all they have to say. How can someone start a livestock business with a $100 note? How possible is that! Not even in the poorest country in the world where such $100 note could worth about 500k in their native currency. Even with that, looking at how expensive livestock food are, how would the money be sufficient for these kind of business?

Sometimes, things are easier said than the actual reality. Starting a business especially livestocks required lot of money even though you are starting with 10 livestocks. A 100 dollar bill will never be enough, and that does not mean that starting a business is as easy as getting an unusual job. It is a matter of saving that can help you start a business that will grow gradually with time.

The concept of not having a lot of money is different from having debt in the process of living life and maybe this seems unusual to some people, but if we live in rural areas having a small amount of money can already live without needing loans. I agree that money is important in life but at a certain stage money never makes someone die. The difference is when someone has a lot of money and can help others in need it is much better and maybe this is the kind of life that many people hope for.

Everyone would definitely choose more money than being poor and I think this is the hope of most people. But sometimes opportunities do not make everyone have more money for various reasons but those who live simply do not have more money can still live happily and maybe one of us is included.

One thing I've learned in life while growing is "life doesn't give you what you want in most cases".If life doesn't give you what you want why not look for another alternative for survival.Even those graduates in our society that graduated with excellent grades are denied access to secure a nice job while those that don't have excellent grades do have a nice job all because of connection,life is all about connection,if it were to be all about good grades then the rate of unemployment wouldn't have increased to this level.Alot of content creators in my country studied professional courses,and they didn't hope on what they studied in the university as a source of income, otherwise they would have been beggers.I watched a podcast recently online,in the podcast a celebrity was interviewed and when she mentioned her discipline I was so surprised by her discipline,and she was so boastful for being a content creator because she knows she won't get a job that easily from what she studied in the university so being a content creator was an alternative for her.

You write this out as if having a job is optional - for most people there is no choice if they want to survive and not end up homeless. It costs money to just exist in this world, at the very least you need food and you will feel safest with shelter which is quite expensive. Some people are lucky enough to have family that can support them until they're ready to leave, but that means relying on the goodwill of the household and you should still be seeking to contribute. Education can be very noble and actually lead to higher paying work, so many will make sacrifices to do that if it's possible. Being an entrepreneur is great, but as you say it requires certain magic ingredients that not everyone has easily available to them, luckily the internet has made it easier than ever before to launch and promote a business.

The misconception about assumptions and assumptions that school can directly support success has changed most people's mindset and stigma about school. Whereas the focus of education is to gain knowledge and it is characterized by the academic certificates they have even though it is only a formality of proof but in the end the purpose of the government for children is the same where it is only for the means of children to gain more knowledge and material for future preparation.

But the stigma now considers education as a way to get a job and even wealth and this seems to have been imprinted especially for some countries that are still developing or underdeveloped.
In my country today it is also not much different where the assumption that higher education can get wealth easily but the fact is that this is clearly a little contradictory even though in some moments education will help but directly making rich is clearly not a possible thing.

I think we can't just say that sometimes, but never, things don't go according to your thoughts and desires. You have to make the situation, yourself and many other things according to your desires. If someone graduates and thinks that he will do a great job, but he is not getting that great job and does not accept even small jobs due to not getting that real job, then this will be the biggest obstacle in his progress because small things often take you to big heights. When you gain experience, you meet people, you try to find new opportunities for yourself, then one day you will definitely reach there as you thought. But if we think that we have to reach as we thought, we are not afraid, then it may be a little difficult because nothing is perfect, neither we nor anyone else nor anything can be perfect. Things have to change themselves, the situation.

Only naive and arrogant or conceited people reject entry-level job being a fresh graduate.  It is also possible that this person is lazy and use the reason that he is overqualified for the position and choose not to work and be unemployed.

I highly agree that accepting an entry-level job is the way to gain experience and is much better than being idle looking for his ideal job.  Just think of the time wasted, instead of earning money, this new graduate is idling eating away his parent's money when he should be helping them already due to their pride or laziness.

1] no capital
2] pride
3] no good mentor

These are mostly the three factors that affect many in starting a business, but for the third, I will say you are supposed to say lack of mindset' instead of no good mentor, but for you to start a business, all you need is the mindset for you to decide which business you are going to venture into and how you can start it. Before even thinking of getting a capital.

Most people fail to understand that school doesn’t assure you a good job after graduation, but it assures you knowledge which you can utilise to get reasonable money because without knowledge, even if you start a business, there is a 50% possibility that it will not last long because you have no knowledge unless you know something about the business or you have someone to watch you in the business. That is where mentorship can come into play.

So as a graduate, being reliant on a white-collar job is also the same as wasting your time and waiting for a delusional imagination. It’s not that all graduates can’t get a white-collar job, but only 5% out of 100% get the rest engaged in business and other life skills, so it’s left for you to choose your part.

Actually, there are quite a lot of people who have such principles, being too picky about their jobs, they think their jobs must match their academic qualifications. It is certain that such people usually live entirely dependent on financial support from their parents. Laziness can also be a disaster, I agree if there are parents who encourage their children to take part-time jobs while completing their education. it will be a valuable experience.

Sometimes people don't realize that the competition in finding jobs continues to increase, so being too picky or waiting for the ideal job is not a good idea. I strongly agree that everyone path to becoming rich is different, and it does not depend on their educational background, even many people work jobs that are not in accordance with their educational background.

I am impressed by the OP because he choosed good topic for us and we are facing that problem in all countries because most of the college graduates want to earn money with no hard work and and they want to get stability and they are paying most of the money on liabilities. They are buying liabilities which have good worth . There are many people who did not get degree from any university but they are earning best as comparison to graduated person and they are doing business and they took small step and now they are earning good.Business will give you profit when you made traffic but job will not give anything to you except salary and you will not learn anything.

True, it's not required that your degree is not related on your current career, it doesn't matter. If you're currently earning with a good money even it's not related to what you've studied in the past, it's fine and just go with it. I agree that majority of the rich people are not graduates and some of them are just college dropouts. You don't need to commit to something you've done in the past, I mean yes I agree that you must use your knowledge in your career, good point but if your target is just only that then it's similar to the rat race that you've studied just to be an average employee and worst case is, you will just stuck in a saturated industry where the growth is very limited unless you're very lucky. But if you're trying to explore things and making money for yourself, have your own way of earning, it's fine too, at least you're enjoying on what you do.

Everyone always wish to be a successful person. But sometimes life has different plans for us. Some parents works every hard to educate their children to have a bright future, some children focused very well on their studies, work very hard, and dedicate all their time to school and studies, just to become a great person in future and make their parents proud, but at the end of the day their dreams becomes shattered. Because they couldn't secure a better job after graduating from college or universities. If we really want to talk about the effects of unemployment on school leavers and their parents or guardians it really going to end up in sorrow.

Being educated doesn't guarantee anything non being able to be a successful or great person. Certificate only pay for little number of people and not for all, except if you have any connections.

Your skills, ideas, knowledge, understanding and experience helps a lot, and that is the main reason why you should focus on your studies while you are still in school, and stop depending on your certificate. So that even if you graduate and you were not able to secure a better job, you can come up with a good idea and be proactive and think wisely and perfectly on what will be suitable for you and generate more profit/income for you to sustain you and your family lives.

Talking about pride.
It is true that some people find it really difficult to involved themselves in any local hand work, because they are feeling superior thinking that people will mock them because they graduate and they couldn't get a better job.
Well as for me, a work is a work no matter how small it is, as long as it is legal and you will received payment for your job appreciation no matter how little.

The little advice that I have for unemployed graduates is that, No one is born with a silver spoon. And journey of a thousand miles always begin with a step. Is not everyone that their success bond with white collar job, Always make yourself inferior and work very hard and the whole world see view you as a superior. Sometimes the job you look down on, can change your life for good and make you a greater person. Any little opportunity you have, grab it and always make proper use of time.

[Agbe]

I think think that what is making graduates to think that there only plan is getting a white collar job and working with their certificates is the kind of orientation system that was given them while they were in school because the fact is that the plan of an average student while in school is to get a good job after graduation and the thing is you can't blame them because what is emphasized in class rooms by their teachers and even parents is getting a good grades so that they can work after school

it's so interesting how school gives you a limited view of what will happen to people afterwards
I have this friend who was simply the worst in school, couldn't finish one of the years and had to do it again, never focused, worst grades and all
after all he loved to surf and ended up transforming it into his profession starting a company to build custom surfboards and he's doing quite all

that was nice to see

That is just the fact. Parental orientation is the reason why people thinks white cola jobs are the only way forward. I could remember growing up, my parents never even for once said that I could be successful without education qualification
 All the talk was go to school get good grades and you will be successful like others graduated. But nevertheless I am not angry at them because if they didn't give me that orientation at first, I would never take school seriously maybe I will said thaty parents told me I can succeed without school so there is no point taking school so serious. I believe that those orientation helpd us to build strong desire to learn and become the best part of ourselves. Without this orientation by parents, many will give up on school knowing how hard it js to graduate and come back without work. I know many people who had this mentally that many graduate don't have work so tit is pointless to go school as an excuse now they are suffering for that ignorant. So the fact is that even though to get a white cola job may be difficult, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't go to school. We should go and have good grades but let us to prioritize on white cola job but to learn the basics of education to assist us in all field of life.

That's a mindset and it's natural for someone who has just graduated from his education to expect a job that matches his expectations but as time goes by the idealism will fade, he will work whatever is available to be able to continue his life.
There are no priorities and expectations for someone who is very urgently in need of money or a job but what must also be known is that whatever the job is if we can do it well then it will have a good impact and also have good prospects too.

I think the natural progression for those who study and learn about how the world, work and money really works it is to find a way to focus on things that scale instead of selling their limited hours and learning to invest so they can escape the rat race

of course it'll vary from person to person but I wouldn't be able to stand working 9 to 5 and having to deal with gossip and superior people talking shit to me...

if somebody has urgent needs they have to solve it but afterwards it's better to approach life without desperation
