Why Pakistani Students Should Be Job Givers (Not Job Seekers)

By: Mehwish Saleem

We Pakistani like to do a job that runs from 8 AM to 5 PM.

We like to sell our time to the company where we work, in return, the company earns millions.

The developed countries in the world are working so hard towards entrepreneurship that is the process of designing, launching and running a new business, which is often initially a small business.

That's why the countries are so successful in generating revenue for their family and the state.

But why we are behind?

Why we are not taught at home and school, that the job is not everything.

We should not study for the sake of the job only.

We should think beyond the job.

The total population of Pakistan consists of 60% youth who have the great potential to do something for the country.

Then the common misconception is that for running a small business, you need money, huge money otherwise you can't be successful.

It is a wrong concept.

I have seen many people who went from zero to hero.

Not a single investment they made, but they are now making millions.

You might be thinking how it is possible.

The first step is to learn the skill that you can learn on YouTube.

The skill could be anything that makes you passionate.

It could be graphic designing, video editing, writing, or marketing.

Once you are a master of that skill that may take a month or two.

Then you need to earn money online on the platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Peopleperhour.

With that earned money, you can start a small business of your services, and can offer to others to earn money.

In this way, you can make a million dollars company within 5 to 10 years.

If you have a budget to start a business, Pakistan is full of potential markets that need a lot of improvement in every aspect from agriculture to education.

For example, the students who live in the lower Punjab have no access to tuition and quality education.

But they have an internet connection. You can make an online platform to offer the online tuitions of every subject.

In this way:

●     You will earn money to run your business.

●     Students will get a quality education that will help them to become what they want.

It is a win-win situation for you and the students.

Similarly, there are other hundreds of such ideas if you look around you will see.

You should not make a product rather you should make a problem-solving product.
