Hello guys,

I seriously need your advise in this house. I am currently working with a Local Oil and Gas servicing company as a field Engineer under a contract position with a monthly pay of about #60-180 ( variation depends on how often you go the field).Although you will only be staffed after 3 years.

Now I am seriously considering going to USA for MSC in petroleum Geology to upgrade my skills and exposure.

am I making the right decision? because I will not like to be looking for job again after graduating... cos sometimes they will say that a bird at hand worths more than a thousand in the bush.

Also I am newly married, Is it safe to sacrifice these few years being away from my family at this tender stage.


Please I believe some of us have been in this same position, your invaluable advise will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi conyema12,my take on this, is for you to concentrate on your current job and get as much experience you can get from it.This is because, you have the opportunity of being a staff after 3 years. You also have the opportunity of getting a better job with more pay when you have gathered one or two years experience from this your present job. Remember, experience counts more in your field than qualifications(certificates).After 3 years, you can conveniently make the decision of going for your masters. Then, with 3 years experience and masters, the sky would be your starting point.

Bros Abeg, no try am.

Hell NO, my Brother left Zenith Bank as Staff and left for MSC @Cranfield UK
He is back now looking for Job, Although he is busy with one two thnig.
Not to Talk of you being married.
