💡'I Can’t Do That Job—I Have Papers! Are You Serious? Are you mad?"

" I Can’t Do That Job—I Have Papers! Are You Serious? Are you mad?"


You followed the rulebook, didn’t you?

✅You went to school.

✅You got the degree.

✅You mastered the skills.

✅You networked with everyone who mattered.

And yet… nothing is moving.

You’re frustrated. Tired. Maybe even broke.

Then someone offers you a small opportunity—a stepping stone—and instead of saying “thank you,” your pride kicks in:


“What? Me? Do you even know I went to college? I can’t do THAT kind of job!”


Let’s Talk About This.


I’m not here to glorify underemployment. I get it—you want something that matches your “papers.”

But here’s the hard truth: You can’t jump to the tenth floor without taking the stairs.


That “small” job you’re despising?

It might be the platform that turns your theory into real-life experience.

It could be the bridge to networks, confidence, and bigger opportunities.


What Really Makes a Job Valuable?


From where I sit, a job is worth your time if it does at least two things:


1. Teaches you something valuable (skills, lessons, real-world exposure).

2. Fuels your purpose—or at least pays your bills while you chase it.


📢 Formal Education Alone is NOT Enough.


Yes, your degree matters. Yes, your qualifications matter.

But if pride is your biggest career strategy, you might end up with the “right key” trying to open the wrong door.


Humble beginnings build great stories.

Every CEO once said yes to something that looked “too small.”

The question is, will you


The Bottom Line:

Stay hungry.

Stay sharp.

Don’t let pride keep you behind while others climb, step by step, to success.
