How I ended up as a computer operator instead of phone repairer engineer

I always wanted to be a phone repairer engineer every since I was little, because I have passion for it, and also at my age back then, they was no phone I can't operate.

So after my secondary school exam (WAEC) West African Examinations Council, so i told my dad about my intention of me learning a skill, before I will enter school or while waiting for Jamb registration form to be out.

So my dad buy the ideal of me learning a skill before entry into the university, so my dad ask me, what do skills do I have in mind to learn, then I told him phone repairer engineer, and he said no, that I can't learn such skills that It too risky, I then ask him why, and he said it is risky because there is a high tendency of phone repairer to repair a stolen phone without them knowing it a stolen phone, and if the phone is track the repairer will be at fault. So I then told him that alot of people are doing this work and they are even making a living from it. And my dad said no, that I wont do it due to the risky of stolen phone, so as to avoid me been getting arrested for what I dont know one or two. So my dad told me to think of sumtin else.

I didn't have anything in my, because my dream was to become a phone repairer engineer, so my dad told me to go and learn computer skills since I will be using computer to write my jamb.

That was how I went to learn computer skills, the main reason why I learnt computer skills was simply because I want to write my jamb.

At first, I didn't like the idea, but I was just going to the computer school so that I can learn how to write my exam which is computer based, and after my exam then i will take of what skills to learn.

So after my first one month training, then I begin to develop interest in it, so I put more seriousness to it. And today I am glad i did, despite the fact that the initial motive of me learning computer skills was because of my jamb exam, i am begin to make a living out of it. After my 6 months training duration, I was among the 3 best graduating student, so the owner of the place retain me as a worker, I work for like a 10 months, because I didn't make my first jamb exam, so I was working and earn after my training and also preparing for my second jamb. Eventually I got admission, but before I stop working, I have made times 3 of the money I paid to learn the computer skills.

I am really glad that I take advantage of my computer training, right know I am now a graphic design. The money and time i put into my computer training program wasn't a waste. I have even earn more than the money I paid to register for the computer training program, and I am still earn, infact my computer training skills has been my source of income even while I am in university.
