Ruth noted that she had wondered if she would return home after school or begin looking for a white-collar job.
However, she stated that she is more drawn to starting a business and is still trying to figure it out and raise capital for that purpose.
UI finalist's advice to final year students
In her LinkedIn post, Ruth advised final year students not to graduate from school without a plan. She stressed that the plan does not have to be perfect or something big.
She maintained that the important thing is having a plan for life after graduation, as life after school without direction could be tougher than figuring things out while still a student. She wrote:
“Final Year Comes With One Question: What Next?”
"As a final year student of the University of Ibadan, I find myself constantly thinking about one thing: What next after school? It’s not just a random thought anymore.
"It comes up often. What would I do after school? Do I go back home? (For me, that’s a no.) Do I start looking for a white-collar job? Honestly, that path doesn’t fully sit right with me.
"I’m more drawn to building something of my own; starting a business. Right now, I’m in the phase of figuring things out and trying to raise capital. It’s not clear yet. But it’s real.
"And if there’s one thing I’ll say to every final year student:
"Don’t leave school without a plan. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be big. But have something. Navigating life after school without direction can be tougher than figuring things out while you’re still in school.
"And as we already know… Life can happen."
