Final thoughts

If you’re tired of employment or fear that you may not get a job soon, it’s important to pursue courses that lead to self-employment.

Your passion, hobbies, and interest matter but courses like embroidery, carpentry, welding, baking, beauty therapy, tinting and signage, fashion , speech therapy, painting, and the like all have great potential.

And now that we are here, I should mention that it’s not a must for you to spend copious amounts of money as school fees- you can take your classes only (even free on YouTube) thanks to technology.
