Be very practical, MSc is a beautiful degree. Did mine in UK and I had the best of time, I learnt so much, tutored by experts in my field but sadly the reality is there are no jobs and to be honest Experience trumps MSc. My advice is take the job for now and start concrete plans on your MSc but make sure u do that MSc even if ur pay magically doubles don't discard the MSc plan. Saw Hell looking for a job even with d UK MSc degree. And u said the job is actually in your career path, Sweet.

As long as u're doing the Masters in the country,then I advise yhu take d job...60k isn't a small amount 4 a young man with no responsibilities...U could do a lot with it. Besides yhu already said ur parents 'll be sponsoring....Just see if yhu can run both concurrently.. d job and ur Msc...Make the most of it..The work experience is to ur advantage.

The both is important in this phase of ur life now, but u gotta ask your self if 60K job is what you'll settle for? Or go acquire an MSc and hopefully get a better Job afterwards.... Ignore those saying Jobs are hard to come by, people are employed everyday, we all have different grace in life...search ur mind and segment between the two which u want and which you need and make your choice and stand firm on it. Only you can take this decision no one else.

It is better you take up the job. In Nigeria nowadays to get desired job is not easy. Since the job is in line wt ur area of discipline, you better pick it up and have experience. Later you can go for ur master
Pls think deep and pray over it

. If you had experience of job hunting, you wouldn't have advised him to neglect the offer, there are thousands of MSC holder on the street without job. MSC does not guarantee employment.

Combine your job with the Masters degree program. You can change the mode of the study to part-time.

Even Phd holders are looking for Jobs this days, you go for Job interview and you see all kinds of certificates that will threaten you, end of the day, it may be a B.sc holder that will get the Job.

He should go for the Job and then do his masters Part-time. He gets experience at work and also opportunities of opening for better and higher Jobs.

@OP......do you have any Job waiting for you after your Msc? I will just advice you to grab the opportunity at hand and it will eventually open up better opportunities for you and exposure. Most companies these days are looking for your work experience and not always the certificate you have. What if you have your Msc and no work experience. Start with the 60k job offer and don't despise the days of little beginning. 60k is a just a start up salary, the company can increase it later and you can apply for study leave later in the company......depending on the type of company and what they do. Also consider your age, the competition to get job opportunity these days and where you are going in life. Even the Msc you are going for......do you have any sponsor? if yes, you can go for it: if no, think twice and plan your life very well cos responsibilities will soon be knocking at your door . Work,earn and have experience. Hundreds of MSC holders are roaming about the street too. You can still plan for your Msc next year....it's never too late and DEM NO DEY CATCH LATE COMER! It all depends on your choice.
Ultimately, pray and ask God for direction and don't see Msc as a safe Haven for you to get Job. I pray that every step you take shall lead you greater heights IJN.
Cheers!!!
Amen and me too. I am the 10th person that liked your post,

Rumpelstiltskin:
Is it a job that will provide opportunity for advancement? Do you have a passion for the job you're being offered? If you eventually get admitted, can you 'conveniently' finance your Master programme?

The decision is up to you to make. Just remember that the master degree programme will always be open to you but the job may not, considering the current situation of the country. A bird at hand is worth fifty in the bush.
Wish you the best in your endeavours!

Remember sometime ago dangote was serching for graduate drivers, Dude PhD holders were there. Dude I have a masters too but was a teacher in a private school that payed just 20k. It was the experience I got after my Beng that got me my present job in a maritme company. My advice go for the job and at the same time run ur masters.
But if u feel masters holders get better jobs NA joke u dey.

Its your first degree that gets you your first job not the masters degree, accumulate work experience and not worthless degrees, if you like do phd, you will get the same level of pay as a first degree holder, get knowledge and practical experience.
not degree.

Most of the lecturers in our schools have never worked before, they only have knowledge they acquired 20-35 yrs ago and its all outdated crap. cool

Take the job. Your present situation is like one retiring from a job because he collected visa application form. You have not even applied for the programme as yet....let alone being accepted by the University and you are considering dashing the job offer. Is N60k the salary for life?...or the starting salary?...is there room to climb the ladder in the company? With the present lack of job opportunities it is better you get your foot in the door of the company and move up later while at the same time you can find a way to also do your Masters. Do you have a source of income to sustain you for the Masters? At least take the job now and reconsider when you get admission to the university.
