As a fresh graduate, there's a plethora of opportunities for you to explore, and it all depends on the trajectory you wish to follow. First, if you graduated with a good grade anywhere from strong 2'2 and above, you can start searching for graduate scholarship programs in the US. Just go to Google and type: Your course + universities offering it in the US + fully funded scholarships. Search and narrow down to the schools you meet their requirements and apply. With your first degree, you can also directly apply for PhD programmes. Yes, US universities allows BSc to direct PhD programmes. Their PhD programmes are even more funded than their MSc programmes. If your graduating CGPA is not so strong enough, you might need to write GRE or GMAT to strengthen your application. This is not a walk in the park, but trust me, it is worth it if it comes true for you. All you need is your time, dedication, and commitment. I know this works because I once won a $50K scholarship from a US university. But that's a story for another day. There's a guy on Facebook called Ifeanyi Eze. He's a PhD student in the US who offers mentorship for graduates seeking to relocate to the US via graduate scholarship programs. You can also reach out to Dr. Moses Udoisoh on Facebook. He offers the same services too. Another option you can explore as a fresh graduate is the career route - search for good jobs. Don't fall for the narrative that there aren't jobs in Nigeria. There are jobs. Lots of them. You just need to know where and how to find them. And most importantly, have the right qualifications for them too. If you are interested in the banking and finance sector, look out for banks' graduate management trainee programs and apply. Every graduate with a minimum of 2'2 degree in any field is eligible to apply. Don't go through the contract staff bank route unless you want to be paid peanuts - only apply via their management trainee programs. Oil companies are also a good option to explore. Seplat pays their fresh graduates over 3M naira monthly salary. Other IOCs also pay good too. You might need a 2'1 + other good certifications to stand a fair chance of getting employed in most Do your research to find out their requirements and skill up where necessary. If you graduated from the accounting discipline or any other related field, do a research on the "Big Four" and find a way to apply. The "Big Four" refers to the four largest international accounting and professional services firms: Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC. They pay pretty well too. Ask questions. Lots of it. If you have any friend or family member who is working in any well paying company, don't hesitate to reach out to them to link you up. Govt parastatals also recruit fresh graduates from time to time. Keep an eye on them. Sign up with recruitment websites like jobberman, ngcareers, careers24, etc, to keep track of recruitment opportunities. Follow this guy on Twitter: x.com/SirJarus?t=JWl… He shares lots of employment opportunities and also offers some sort of coaching program on how to get good jobs. Keep tabs on him. Lastly, business and entrepreneurship is an option that is always open to all. Since you have no capital, focus more on service based businesses if you want to take the enterprenuerial route. Tech, content creation, sales, and marketing are all viable options to explore. YouTube, Coursera, Alison, Udemy, and ChatGPT have great learning resources you can use to kickstart your learning. Learn, put yourself out there, monetize, and get paid. As I said earlier on, there's lots of options for you to explore. Decide which one you want and go hard on it. Remember, nothing good comes easy. But consistency and preserverance will always pay off. I hope this helps.
