START A SMALL BUSINESS AFTER GRADUATION..JUST, DO IT!!!

I owe you a continuation of the arguments on United States of Africa. But while I was busy attending to the facts of argument two that was to follow my previous article, I was impressed by the many of us who were graduating from different universities. Each one of us visiting any social site today will realize that there has been a sudden upsurge of the profile pictures with men and ladies with gowns and caps. It is very attractive indeed. That prompted me to abandon the task at hand, at least for a moment and exploit in this article some of the possibilities for those of us who have finally graduated.

The story cannot be the same for all of us. Therefore, after graduation we must choose amongst several competing paths to the future. The future remains uncertain and therefore we ought to be careful not to talk about the paths different people take today. Some graduate to land to very well paying jobs. Others have to wait for such a long time before they settle on any employment. Others from well off families will have the benefit of furthering their studies right away. Some few bold ones may take to begin their own businesses.

If you land for a job right away, thank God for it. If you won’t, fine, you may as well find something else to do while in waiting. Either you may engage yourself in furthering your degree, or, because the times are mean for many of us in terms of finances, you may find it beneficial to learn from the Internet a few tricks on starting something small that will generate some immediate income. A small business would do. Starting a small business may not be any easier especially for those of us without any experience in running a business. Fortunately, the age of the Internet is here to save us, by using search engines, you will be able to get different sites and organizations that offer on-line entrepreneurship training courses for free or at some small fee. 

For example I have found YEC and Mind tools very advantageous for young entrepreneurs.  Remember that much as many of the entrepreneurs had passion for business, many were driven to them by circumstances. By this I mean, lack of a job may not necessarily mean a curse but may be a hidden blessing. Just try something as you wait. I wish you all the best young entrepreneurs.
