Even if you are waiting for admission or Nysc call up letter that doest imply that you should be lazy There are plenty easy-to-learn . Instead
of 'killing' time, you can creatively master
some skills that would help you get some
"side cash" as well as set you up on the
path to entrepreneurship.
While others may be calling home for money,
if you've mastered some skills as one of the
students awaiting admission, NYSC, you can
become the "jagaban" and even lend money to
your friends.
Are there skills for students awaiting
admission, NYSC? Something easy, at least to
get the basic things and earn some cool cash
on the sidelines? Come along let's go on this
jolly good-ride!
"Barbing"/Hair-Making
Do you know that there is there is hardly a
student that does not make or cut their hair
at regular intervals?
And with the thousands of students milling
around the campus environment, learning how
to cut hair "barb" or make hair, especially
for females, while awaiting admission, NYSC
is one sure way to banish hunger when you
eventually get to campus.
Depending on how fast you're at learning,
such skills can be mastered in less than
three months.
You can check your area for 'barbing' salons
and discuss with them that you want to
learn and they'd surely give you the
necessary criteria peculiar to them.
And for making hair, with dedication and
willingness, you can master how to fix wigs,
do simple weaving among others, within a
six-month period.
After picking one of the skills for students
awaiting admission, NYSC, there are two ways
to work. It is either you work for someone
or set-up your store.
The former involves sharing your daily profit
with the owner of the saloon who provides the
needed tools for the work.
On the other hand, if you have the cash, you
can rent a space, buy your tools and be your
own oga. With about N100, 000 - N500,000,
depending on the location, you can have your
shop ready.
Phone/Laptop Repair
Data from the Nigeria Communications
Commission (NCC) reveals that there are well
over 200 million phone lines in the country.
That shows a huge market for any one who
would pick up phone repairs. The beauty of
this is that picking up the skills is not hard
and does not take a long time. Same also
with laptop repair.
And so, in about three to six, with
commitment, you can pick up one of the
skills for students awaiting admission, NYSC.
It is even easy to start: it requires no shop
as you can do it anywhere; tools are cheap
to acquire and thus will not put a hole in
your pocket.
The same can be said of laptop repairs.
Graphics Design
Although this requires a continuous learning,
you can get the fundamentals and grow on
the job with time.
Like I noted earlier on, the internet has
opened up opportunities to make money. People
now have e-flyers for their programmes.
They write ebooks and thus need a book
cover. People celebrate birthdays, child
dedication, marriages and weddings.
That’s a huge reservoir of opportunity to tap
into and make some cash if you have
knowledge of graphics design.
There is no limit to how much you can ear.
It only boils down to how fast you can
deliver your job with quality and
professionalism.
Cake/Pastry making
You can never go wrong in learning how to
make pastries from doughnuts, egg roll, and
the rest. It will actually take you some dint
of commitment to acquire the skill.
The good news about this is that the market
is there; there are many willing to pay for
your services for birthdays, weddings, parties
and a host of other social engagements.
Digital Marketing/Social Media Mgt
Instead of wasting money on data plus your
time shuttling different social media
platforms, you can get trained in social/
digital media management.
You can learn this skill in three months and
with your smartphone, earn money while
flipping through different social media
accounts, 'slaying.'
Photography
Even though the advent of smartphones seem
to have made photography less lucrative,
students are crazy about capturing precious
moments in school – matriculation, birthdays,
seminars, convocations – the list is endless.
If you know your worth, good at what you
do, then pick up your camera and head go to
event centers, take those fine shots and have
some cool cash in your pocket.
Find someone a photographer, tell him to
show you how to handle cameras even as you
utilize the power of the internet to scale up
this skill.
You can then save up money; ask your
parents to get a camera for you and you are
good to go.
Shoe Making
I have friends that are into this and are not
doing bad. Instead of idling away at home
while waiting for admission; NYSC, you can
register to learn shoe making.
If you grab this skill, it would be a game-
changer for you. Moreover, starting off is not
pretty hard as you don't need a shop, at
least from the onset.
And then, you can use social media to
promote your product, attracting potential
buyers in the long-run.

Nigeria that can fix them.
It is also easy to start up – you can begin
with less than N10, 000.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of
