I mean one of the worst thing that will happen to a graduate without connection in Nigeria, is graduating with 2.2. You will be locked out of so many opportunities.

kaycodes:


On second thought am gonna share the link to all the available positions.

These roles are mainly Remote positions so you can work from anywhere in the world.

If you've got concrete IT skills, then consider yourself a great candidate for most of the roles.

Wishing you all the best.

Remember this is the information age, focus on skills.


Finally on these jobs, no one wants to see your results or grades, just make sure you highlight your skills very well, and use the right keywords on your CV, otherwise the ATS will overlook your profile.

I'll await your success stories.

Sir, I've applied and I've gotten a reply from them inviting me for the next phase of the recruiting process. I hope I scale through this too, though I have a very good LinkedIn profile. But, the issue now is that... I'm a student. Hope this won't affect the expected level of productivity and efficiency after been offered the job? Your candid advice is needed sir.

kaycodes:


I believe these are work from home opportunities. I also believe as a student you can manage yoour time properly.

Nigeria and US have different tme zones. You just need to make some sacrifices in terms of time.

Afterall time na money..

kaycodes:


The trick is to start early. You still got time, how passionate are you about cars, can you drive? It's not about having a fancy idea of what you wanna do, you must be really into it.

As a student of mechanical engineering, you're in the right path, academic wise. When you go for your IT, visit an automobile shop, I mean like a mechanic shop. If you get the opportunity to do your IT in a top notch automobile company, then you're very lucky but if not, then our local Kazeem's won't be a bad idea either. Now you have to couple your practical study with online resources. Learn the basics, and then apply your engineering knowledge to solving problems. Now if you spend one year, at a mechanic's workshop, you would have gained valuable knowledge and skills. If you visit automobile blogs, sites, and get books on engine repairs to add to your knowledge, you would have learnt what an average roadside mechanic would learn in 3yrs.

By leveraging your engineering knowledge and your Internet skills, and your practical traininig, you would already be ahead of your course mates that went to a fancy company where they never did anything of real importance.

Study about various cars, and know what makes them different, their pros and cons etc. The key to becoming the best in any industry is by learning your craft. People will pay for what you know, but you must learn, learn and learn.

Hi,

To be very candid with you, I don't see any course as non-marketable or non-lucrative.

The question is this, what is your passion?

What are you created for?

Throughout this thread, you would have discovered several nuggets of golden advice laying emphasis on what you can do.

You are what you make of your course.

I studied Management Technology (Project Management Option) in school not because that was what I wanted to study but what I found myself studying.

I have always loved to study music from my young age but circumstances of life deprived me of this.

I'm back studying professional music now in Peter King College of Music, Oko-Afo, Badagry in Lagos.

I abandoned my search for job and made a great sacrifice going back to what I should have studied about 15 years ago.

Friend, no course is non-lucrative and non-marketable.

There are loads of information that abound on the internet about that course.

You can give that course life and make things better for yourself.

Even if no one has done something tangible with that course, if you are truly passionate about it, you can be a pioneer starting new things.

I reiterate, you are what you make of whatever course you are studying.

God bless you.

Hello Everyone,

I really must apologize for my very long absence here...

I got married quite recently and it is one of the many reasons I was "away"....

I do have a lot more stories to tell-and I have learnt a whole lot (Life, really is a learning ground). Thanks, again to xfire for starting this and inspiring many people.

As we keep saying on this thread, you do not need to "know" anyone or be a "big man's" child to go far in life.
I will keep you guys posted.

Regards,

Me

Not an impressive explanation. I will send out another Airtel N500 later to replace the one you used.

Hello Sir @Xfire and every other person(s) in this thread. Actually in my 1st and only UTME last year I chose to study Civil Engr. in one of our Federal Universities Probably I didnt meet the Cut-off(the cut-oft wasnt published) for Civil Engr. I was offered Physics which I chose to study. I am now through with 100Level(2.1). I am interested in specializing in "Instrumentation & Control". My questions are: 1. How lucrative is that area of specialization.
2. How do i build myself to become a professional in the aforementioned.
3. What other area of Physics has higher prospects than the aforementioned.
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I am 17

xfire:

1. Instrumentation and control is pretty applicable in all manufacturing or engineering company. Machines and equipment must have some sort of controls to ensure quality and consistency of products. So it's in demand. And that brings me to your 2nd questions.
2. Most organizations tend to recruit electrical engineers as I & C engineers. It is mostly exclusively reserved for electrical engineers. Although there are many short courses one can offer in instrumentation, the skill is usually best acquired through experience. If you want to pursue a career in instrumentation, then I will advise you to consider furthering your studies in engineering after your first degree to make you competitive.
3. There are so many areas in physics that you can specialize in. Just do a google search. With a degree in physics you can branch off to so many disciplines such as telecommunications, electronics, power or even mechanical engineering. But you will most likely need a second degree to actualize your dream.
