@webish,congrats for the good academic performance.
Fortunately or Unfortunately you will fast realize that what matters in the ICT field,at least to most employers is hands-on skills,be it lecturing, programming, systems administration, network administration, database management, etc etc Employers want to know what you really are good at practically and not just academically, thats the reality in ICT.
My advice therefore is, identify the area you are most passionate about in ICT and do alot of self development(as a hobbyist would), could be app/sys programming, databases, networks, web applications, mobile apps, systems administration, and also avoid to be a jack of all trades as that will narrow your chances for progression and it will be wiser to be extremely good in a particular area than mildly good in several areas, thats what ICT expertise is all about.If you are multi-talented,which is a rare characteristic in professions , then strive to be an expert in maybe two areas which you are most passionate about.Some of the best IT experts locally are specialists in one or two areas which they are most passionate about and then team up with experts in other areas and forge ahead.Research on companies like Safaricom and see what am talking about.
Finally, if you wish to be in academia, then you can pursue higher education when in your current position and progress towards that direction but from your question I doubt if thats the case,but you never know in life, desires and dreams sometimes change abruptly.
All the best in your future plans..
