Abstract
For quite sometime now, the author has observed that students
who left schools after secondary education lingered and roamed
about their home villages. Those of them who do not go for further
education are often seen praying to go into jobs as might be
available usually in the local government offices. Most times it
is teaching appointment they take to, a job which most soon find
un-suitable but grudgingly hang on to while waiting to jump out of
it as soon as a better' job could be secured.
Human nature being materially insertiable, man would continue
to look out for »better' things in life but hardly a situation
exists in life where there is hundred percent satisfaction. The
pendulum swings ad-infinitum especially when students lack the
knowledge of occupational self-concept and allow their socio-economic
background to set the range of occupational horizon for them. However,
the author is inspired by his belief that every man's work,
whether it be literature, music, pictures, architecture or
anything else, should always be a portrait of himself. Work
should moan more than just earning a living. Through it the
individual should also satisfy his psychological and social needs.
Work should determine the individual's social status, values,
attitudes and life-styles.
