Dis Guy:
on a serious note, get the bank job, when they throw you out

Dis Guy: Just a high probability

banks seems to have a very high staff turnover

tomju: I resigned from my prestigious oil industry job to study in the Uk. I'll tell you. I've personally been to the University of Portsmouth near sandsea. Its a good institution. Very Prestigious. An Msc will give you added advantage in your career. The time to go for it is now! After a year, you'll be 25 or even at 27 you are still very young for marriage. An Msc guarantees you an job at managerial level. Dont let anyone scare you. When you are good, jobs will be knocking on your door. I've been there myself. Choose study, you'll never regret it. Remember, investing in yourself is the great est asset you can give yourself. The time is now! Act wisely.

BlueDiva: Is a bank job even a job?
Go for your M.sc abeg.

At 24 you are still a baby. When we have most undergraduates clocking 27yrs in school these days.

Don't be discouraged with the no job bandwagon. People get jobs everyday.
Trust me, you will be better off in the long run. I did my masters before getting a job and it has paid off over and over again.

AjanleKoko:

Why would you assume she would be thrown out?

Jarus:

I wonder too o. Msc. . . . Then job fiam, managerial for that matter!

With no experience, Msc hardly means much. I have a lot UK Msc holding friends that went immediately after our first degree and came back looking for entry level job again.
That said, I'll take an Msc over an Access bank job, if I'm comfortable enough and got funding from my parents. But if I'm not so comfortable, I will take the job and consider Msc later.

jay bee: MSc in Finance from portsmouth uni will probably get you know where very fast on completion of the course.
What i'd do if i were to be in your shoes is work with access bank for a year, seek admission from other highly rated uni's whilst gaining quality experience with access bank. You can also throw in starting your CFA certification if you are able to combine the lot together.

sweet_jummie:

@jaybee, tanx for ur response, I will forfeit my msc program for now and go for the access bank job then apply for a better school later in the future, and as regards the CFA certification, I heard it's very good but I think I prefer ICAN

AjanleKoko:

haba, BD.
You just dey fall my hand today sha

So all the people working in the 23 banks are playing? Then why are you patronizing them

Secondly, you prolly did your masters well before the singular defining event of 2008, known as Global Recession. And there were prolly not that many UK Msc holders searching for jobs in Naija back then. It was even the trend back then for people in Naija to check out via HSMP.

Even in the developed climes, people are looking for job these days. There's an army of returnees with UK Mscs and MBAs, looking for jobs now. Access training school is pretty good. No harm in her giving it a shot, and going for the Msc later. As you have rightly pointed out, she's still young.

sweet_jummie:

loools,@blue diva, bank job it's still a job na, at least it's better than doing a runes girl job, just because u did ur msc b4 getting a job and it paid off for u doesn't mean every1 wud be as lucky as u are, are u aware dat dere are thousands of msc holder rooming the street of lagos searching for a job

sweet_jummie:

@jarus, my fear is leaving without zero work experince for msc, and from the responses av gotten, it seems uni of porthmouth is not all dat highly rated, wat I intend to do now is to work for 3years at access then enroll for Ican, so in 3years time, I wud av gained 3years experience and av ican too before I zoom out of the country for my master in a much better university than porthmouth.

But I have a question for u jarus, between an msc finance and MBA (finance), which one is better ?? Thanks
