How to overcome the stigma of unemployment should
not be a phenomenon that is far to seek because it is only those that are out
of jobs for one reason or another that can fill the pinch of abject poverty. As
an able bodied person without any corporal defect whatsoever, you wake up in
the morning and do not have one particular thing to do or a particular place to
go and without a cent in your pocket to meet up with the most mundane of your
daily needs, then you do not need a soothsayer to tell you that the life is not
a bed of roses.
It is, no doubt, a bush of thorns also when you stay
alone in your environment while your mates go to their different places of work
and return at the end of the day totally worn out because of the routine and
the attendant challenges that have become their normal way of life. This is
more aggravated particularly when you are a living witness with what they do
with the fruits of their labor that is their ability to make both end ends meet
without tears there is no gainsaying the fact that you will feel quite
despondent particularly when you are unable to come out of your own cocoon and
be in the same camp with them.
What you always do is to analyze yourself and see
where you are found wanting, not because you are do not have good educational
qualification that can stand you in a good stead of a required standard of life
like your peers, but the work for you to do is not just there no matter how
hard you may look for it. When you take into account the number of
establishments, factories and offices to which you have submitted an
application for employment but which yield negative results always, there is no
way you will not feel that life is being unfair to you.
As it is the case in our society today, thousands of
graduates are churned out of our tertiary institutions like the universities
and polytechnics with the authorities incapable of providing employment
opportunities for the young ones and since they virtually have nothing to do,
they have no option than to resort to crimes both high-tech and low-tech to
survive the very harsh conditions of life to which there is no end in sight for
now.
Thanks goodness, the Internet has provided a wide
range of opportunities and the only way out of this horrible social condition
is to resort to the world wide web and search for the wide range of
opportunities and with much diligence they will be in a good position to get
something like paid data services from which they can make a little bit of
income to survive. Overcoming the stigma of unemployment is no easy task but
since every dark cloud has a silver lining, the question of sitting on the
fence and bemoan one’s fate should no longer arise and all that is necessary to
do is to act and avoid wishful thinking which is an ill-wind that blows nobody
any good.
