Imagine you graduate with a distinction from UK Uni &
get offered N50k job in Nigeria
This man shared the sad reality of some
individuals who travel abroad to study and come
home to a salary that can barely keep you going
for a week. He talked about a friend who
graduated with distinction in Masters from a UK
University only for him to be offered a N50,000 a
month job when he came back to Nigeria.see his tweets below.

You did not get Masters to begin search for jobs. Rather you got the masters to enhance your already acquired skills to help you perform better at your job as an experienced hire and not new entrant. If you spend millions nko? Why you nor invest am in creating employment? e Just de like those people for Lekki wey buy land 200 million and after building still expect government to do their roads and give them constant power supply grin

And here I am receiving 25k as an intern and complaining, but then again which UK university did this guy go to. Maybe he went to one of those pure water UK universities and expecting the employers to roll out the red carpet for him.

Well, the dude should shine his eyes. Na so UK-born masters grads dey find work for the same UK.
No be only Nigeria e dey happen. See some lovely articles below:

Don't bother applying for job without 2:1 degree, say bosses as 80% admit they turn down all graduates without qualification

Got a good degree? Great – now go and work in a shop

All UK oh. Our guy should hang in there, he has a good degree, and he just needs to stay in the game, take the 50k job for experience even. Quitting isn't an option.

He should manage.

When my sister finished her masters from prestigious Queen's mary University.....she got a 30k job, took the offer....after working for less than a year or two, she finally got a very good offer now earning around 400-500k a month on one of these big investment banks.

So, my advice for anybodg in this situation is to manage the salary and bank on the experience, afterall the friend is from a rich home so he shouldnt be worried about the salary but experienxe for now pending till he gets something bigger.

My advice though

Na wa oh. What's the point of a Masters to begin with? We too like certificate for Nigeria. Then it also depends on what the guy studied.

Crap.

Anybody can get a Masters.

Masters in what course? Philosophy? Parasitology and Entomology?

If he accepts the 50K job now, will it hinder his progress in life? It's still better than nothing. No one will know what he is earning until he says it, so what's the big deal, abeggi.
