      INTRODUCTION

      Certain realities of the current economy hit me recently as I learnt more about the mentality of many people towards employment.

      I am a professional banker working with some of the UK’s leading Investment banks. With my banking background and the opportunities offered me in the banking industry, friends and colleagues have sought my advice on many issues, especially about working in the industry.

      What recently hit me was that since 2007, the global job market has been struggling, and there has been a significant drop in recruitment and employment of graduates, making the prospects for those taking their first steps on the career ladder look bleak. Because I’m a fan of entrepreneurship, the advice I always give at the end of every conversation with graduates is to be realistic and set up their own businesses. We, as graduates, have to be creative and do make our children’s future brighter by putting structures in place for their employment. We have to think of creating employment in our businesses rather than looking for jobs–of becoming employers rather than employees.

      When you seek employment, you compete with a number of people for the same job, but when you become an entrepreneur, you rely only on your brainpower and guts as you step into the unknown. Most universities groom students, including the very brainy ones, to be employees rather than employers; as such, your competition as an entrepreneur is already reduced.

      In UK and the rest of the world, fewer large national employers are seeking recent graduates than in the past. However, more small and medium-sized enterprises are using the services of university career offices to find new employees. The global financial crisis has impacted different employment sectors very differently, with declines in the number of vacancies being advertised by firms in banking, finance, law, and construction and increases in hiring in the public sector, social care, education, and engineering.

      Therefore, anyone with an objective, vision, talent, ideas, and the drive to start a new business and the ability to research a business’s competition and potential customers in order to know a business idea’s strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in the market is in a good position. If a person has also developed a clear business plan and is able to put ideas into action, success is certain.
