Skills i have acquired: My Side Hustle.

Hello Everyone at Hive ghana community. I hope your'e doing great.

Prior to the @hiveghana weekly prompt i took to writing on skills i have acquired in my years of living. It is very important to have some skills which can help one make a living. Living in a nation where most Jobs do not pay their workers as at when due or pay meagre salaries, having a skill can help one have an extra income aside from your salary.

With our present economy, those that have acquired some skills have actually been able to survive and cope with the era of unemployment. A lot of graduates have been able to acquire a skill for survival because of lack of employment.

My thoughts has always been to work after graduating from school so getting a skill was never part of my plan. But on a long run, i discovered alot of graduate coming back to stay idle because of lack of work and few that are calculative have gotten to learn a skill which has helped them survive. Also so many people working were suffering from salary delays or poor salary which could barely take care of their needs.

So with this i developed a zeal to learn a skill so i jumped on Several opportunities i had to learn a skill. First a Governmental organization offered free skills acquisition on different fields I didnt hesistate to register for the training because I love food i choosed pastries. This is one skill i have come to embrace. Getting to know how to bake several different pastries gives me joy because i also have the priviledge of having to eat as much snacks as i want. I bake pastries such as egg roll, meatpie, doughnuts, chin chin, peanuts and more. I also produce few drinks such as Tigernut juice, Zobo and some fruit juice. This skill has made me make money out of it to settle my urgent needs. I can say i am very good at what i do. I graduated from the training as the best from pastries and i was given an Electric Oven which i left at home since i am a student i only go home to bake when i have the chance to. And yes i am ready to teach anyone who wants to acquire a skill on pastries. I always want such opportunity to give back to the society. Freely i received and freely i will also give back.

Another skill i have acquired is learning how to make foot wear for both male and female. This is another exciting skill i have acquired. I developed interest in the footmaking industry because i love wearing good shoes and the cost of always buying the shoes was on the high so i grabbed an opportunity to learn footwears when the opportunity presented itself. So far i have been able to make fine shoes for myself and also for few friends and i have made money out of the skill and it has also saved me from having to spend money in getting footwears like before.

So yes getting a skill is very important as it can help to meet basic needs instead of just staying idle.

Thanks for reading.
