Our education system makes students think that the main reason for going to school is to make good grades, graduate and get a well-paying job. So every student aims to make good grades and start looking for work when they finish school. Its everywhere. Little wonder that the job market is filled with applicants that are looking to get the job. In all, we have been subtly engineered to become job seekers instead of employers of labor. Many people are threading that path - except me and a few others.

I choose entrepreneurship. I loved to be my own boss. I have a big dream. In 5 years time (starting from 2017), I want to have one of the biggest and best IT companies in my area. I want to have an ultra-modern IT training center. Most youths in my country lack the IT skills needed to secure jobs or even start up on their own. Currently, I lack the necessary financial backing to raise my firm to something larger, but by the time my target year (2022) to achieve my goal ends, I think I will make it.

If I had wanted, I would have landed a well-paying job, given my IT skills and expertise. But then, I am somebody that loves to leave a legacy behind at the end of the day. I love creativity and exploring new ways to solve problems. I love to take on challenges and overcome them. Right now, empowering my fellow youths is more than enough challenge that pushes me to work harder. There are lots of them that their families look up to for sustenance. Unfortunately, these youths are yet to stand firm on their foot, let alone to help someone else. If I can teach and train them on some IT skills I already have, that would be a hallmark achievement for me. These are some reasons why a day job is not for me. It will just kill off all my dreams. Though I do not have all the resources I need to achieve my dream of empowering others, I hope to get there someday through hardwork and dedication.

Rome - they say - was not built in a day. Step by step, I will reach my goals. This is why I choose to start small as an entrepreneur.
