Nobody to help?

I am a graduate of Linguistics, and your chance in the labour market depends solely on the grades you graduated with, your drive and above all God. I will advise that map out a career path for yourself, for instance if you are looking at the business world, you can do an MBA after graduation or other professoonal certification. Hence I will advise you not to combine studying in a polytechnic with that of university, as it may have effect on your overall grades at the end of the day.
You also stand a better chance to excel in media, eg print or electronic media world with a degree in linguistics.
But, if you are still to study law, I am afraid you may have to go back to school again.

Thank u very much....i will like to knw u more....since ur graduation frm the university, do u go 4 ur MBA or u seek 4 a job?.....where are u working nw?....thanks

As I have said in my earlier post, ensure you graduate with a good grade so that you can compete well.
I graduated seven years ago, and I was opportuned to get a work in a bank three months after NYSC, and rose to become the Retail Head. I later did a post graduate course in Strategy management in the UK. I have been opportuned to work as a freelance journalist.
@Donaldmike, the sky is your limit, once you know what you want in life. Which university are you, and what level are you now?
