I have been out of the University for ten years without a job. Getting a job became a big deal in those years. Every advertisement I saw on the papers demanded for five years working experience.
How could l have had five years working experience without actually working? So l continued the search until l found a job as a clerical staff in an establishment of sort.
I took it even though the pay could not take me home. They say ‘a beggar doesn’t have a choice’. I couldn’t say no to the salary when I didn’t have a better deal elsewhere.
I have worked for six years and just got my promotion to the position of a supervisor in the same company.
Meanwhile, I have continued to see my sweetheart, Jessica from the University. She finished service and got a good job in a Bank and as it is she is already earning more than I have ever earned…
