Hello,
I understand your situation. Speaking from experience I will advise you to do your master's and get a job in nigeria no matter how small it is. Travelling abroad is only a beautiful life in pictures and not in reality. When you are abroad you struggle to learn the language and culture, you struggle to get a residency permit which normally takes years minimum of 5years. You struggle to feed, to pay monthly rent minimum of 400€. You are regarded as a second class human being cuz you are black. Mind you the only job you are qualify to do will be cleaning or security jobs. Office job is a tall dream, happens rarely and takes years. Going abroad is like joining a cult you start regret after joining and not easy to come out of it. Many are starving and suffering abroad but can't come back home cuz of shame. Experiences: I have been to USA, LONDON, GERMANY,FRANCE & HOLLAND.

U sure say you live for USA and Germany?
cos from your analysis, I surprised you have to include US and Uk, cos there Language is no barrier, the only barrier you have in USA and Uk is laziness and short cut angry angry

Will advise you to bend down and finish up your masters degree. Cause when you get to Italy you had to start life afresh or you might probably stay for years before you can settle down very well.

I am currently stucked in the middle with my head hurting so bad from thinking progressively..

I had a 2.2 in metallurgical and materials engineering and with this system of employment in nigeria- massive graduates, limited jobs, I must confess that i am forced to look elsewhere for my lifetime opportunities..

i believe in myself...YES i do!!! however, quite obviously, my chances of been gainfully employed are low, that is even if they meagerly exist..

so... i have made up my mind... perhaps, because i am still very young or because i am from a lowly background where my father nor my relative can give me a huge amount of money to start a lucrative business..therefore, i want to go all out by myself..

now.. i have two resolutions..

should i go for an eighteen months full time master program to supplement my 2.2 or take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go hustle for myself abroad..??

which is better??

matured advice needed with experiences...
how did you made it to the top on your own especially when you started from the rock bottom??

Since you want to hustle why not divert your money for ticket and visa etc to Italy and start something here for yourself it will go a long way instead of being a slave in another mans country in d name of hustling
