How will your life after school be or has been?

Well, I would like to share something about my education. I am in the last year of my BS degree, and InshaAllah, my degree will be completed in a few months. When I think about life after completing my studies, I feel excited but also a little nervous.

Right now, I am preparing myself for job opportunities. I am not searching for jobs yet because I want to first focus on completing my degree, but I am already planning ahead. As soon as my degree is done, I will take a short rest and then seriously start applying for jobs.

I don’t like to sit free at home, so I will try my best to find a good job where I can work with dedication. I will also prepare for tests if needed, and InshaAllah, I believe I will get a good job.

Along with this, I will continue posting on Steemit whenever I get time, because Steemit is my passion and I really enjoy being part of it. After completing my degree, I want to become independent, support my family, manage my own expenses, and fulfill many of my dreams. May Allah help me in this journey.

Do you think education is a scam? Choose between yes, no, yes and no and explain.

I don’t think education itself is a scam. Education is very important because it helps us become better peopleass It shows us the difference between an educated person and someone who is not educated.

A person who is educated usually thinks about how to improve their life and the world around them. Education teaches us how to think in the right way, how to use our knowledge in a good direction, and how to become independent.

But at the same time, I believe that my country's education system has become like a business. Many schools and institutes only focus on collecting fees and just teach from the books.

They don’t guide us properly about how to use our degree in real life. They don’t teach us about job preparation, skills, or how to survive in the practical world. So in that way, I feel the system is not doing justice with students.

What do you think one should do after obtaining a degree without a job? business, learn a soft skill. Share with us these skills and businesses?

Yes, I have seen many young people who completed their degrees but still don’t have any job. If I talk about my country Pakistan, then here job opportunities are very few but youth is increasing. Many students are completing their education but they don’t get jobs because of the limited chances.

In this case, I think it’s better to either learn a skill or start a small business. Like in my own class, there is a boy who completed his degree but wasn’t much interested in studies. His father had a clothing shop, so after completing the degree, his father made him sit in the shop to gain experience..

He used to help in the shop with everything like cleaning, managing stuff, and customer dealing. After some time when he got experience, his father gave him his own separate shop to run. Now he is handling it well,so before starting any business, we should first gain some experience in that field.

Also nowadays, many people even after completing their degree, go for learning different skills because they don’t find jobs related to their degree.

Just like my cousin, she first studied bio, but later her parents realized there are not many job chances in this field, so they shifted her to IT. Now she has learned skills and is working in a software house, and planning to open her own in the future. We can also do business or learn something new to move forward in life.

Will you blame the government for not getting employed as a graduate?

Yes, to some extent, I would blame the government. Whether it’s me or the youth of our country, many are blaming the government for not doing enough. I believe the government should have opened more industries in our country.

There are many young people in our country who want to start their own businesses, but the government focuses more on agriculture and small businesses. They don’t pay much attention to the private sector or job creation for the youth.

The government should have planned better and worked on opening new industries and creating more job opportunities. I see many young people with skills who end up leaving the country because their skills are valued more abroad, but here, they don’t get good jobs.

Do you think steemit can reduce the number of unemployed graduates in your country, how?
Yes, I 100% agree with this. I’ve seen many people from my country working on Steemit and becoming independent through it. Especially when I joined Steemit, I noticed many girls who are not even graduates yet but still working on this platform and earning. It really inspired me. I searched a lot on the internet for such a platform where we can work from home and earn, and finally, I found Steemit.

We students usually don’t have enough time for part time jobs because of university or college. But Steemit is a great opportunity. We can work from home, earn, and even support our families. I even know someone who is still studying and supporting her family through Steemit. This made me really happy and gave me hope.

Now I don’t feel bad that I don’t have a job yet, because at least I have a platform where I can work in my free time and earn peacefully. So yes, I believe Steemit can really help reduce unemployment in our country by giving people a chance to become independent from home.

As a student, if you had an opportunity to invest, what area do you think you should invest in?

Honestly, I never had much interest in investment because I don’t have any income right now. So I never really thought about it deeply. I also don’t have much experience in business, and I’ve never asked anyone about which business is good or not. But recently, I saw a girl from my university doing a jewelry business, and it’s going really well for her.

So if I ever get a chance to invest, I would like to invest in a jewelry business. I would buy different types of jewelry, maybe even raw materials, and then create beautiful jewelry pieces to sell. Jewelry has a lot of demand, and I personally love it too. So this business would be interesting for me.

If I get customers, I’ll make sure to send them beautiful designs and keep creating stylish jewelry for them. I would really enjoy this kind of work, and I feel it has good profit as well.
