When I decided to take a step into ICT.

Decision that changed my life tho

It seems like nobody that goes into IT fails. Hmm

Living home at 19, for school n ict works paid off (even though I was half baked), it wouldn't be easy at first, humility, time, endurance, patience saw me through, hoping to live the country too.
Great note: have faith in God n yourself. We are over comers when we believe so.
Money is relevant.

The thing is bn able to sustain your interest in your chosen ICT field. I certainly know ICT is the moneyspinner.

Not starting my professional exams immediately I finished I graduated. Now I no longer have time to study like I used to.

I trusted Humans

But They all became demi-gods , when I was @ my Lowest ebb.


I don't want to talk about it sha it didn't stop sha but delayed my decoration


It took more than ten years of my life inform of Delay

Am painfully single ....

Jumping into d first job that came my way, though it didnt meet my specs of a career path. Then got married immediately, didnt want to loose d supposed luv of my life


11+yrs later, trying to start over

Its never too late, ask Col Sanders

Traveling to the US for Masters immediately after my NYSC was the best decision I made.

I had to put my certificate aside and turned to business proper (e-commerc). We all need something that brings raw cash while we chase our dreams or carers.

I believe I made a good decision starting business early. At times chasing your dream or passion takes time and it might not yield the expected fruit. Many started as footballers with local clubs but no one to sponsor them and they ended as touts under the bridge. Same goes with musicians without a successful career

Today I earn more than my mates working and I'm planning expanding by next year. I will also go back to my field of study soon and learn something new.

I studied comp science with skill in web technology

Listening to my father ruined my career. Am yet to get back on track. Just pondering how such an instruction came into the bible.

You might end up appreciating it

Being loyal to my past employer marred by career...when it should have made it.

tayokem:
Taking a big leap into Digital Marketing as been so great and interesting

How is the Digital Marketing field? Is it paying well?

going to school of midwifery after school of nursing was the worst decision I made.............

Make: choosing ICT courses over university degree
Taking a big and bold step to venture into the unknown outside the country

Mar: wasting my early years trying to get a degree

CCNP and MNSE.


Made my negotiation better in IT

Not having anyone direct my career path. Sailed in the direction of the wind, still trying to find my bearing.

Everyone makes mistakes but dwelling in regret is an even bigger one as you will never have the chance to make amends.

In our past we have made decisions that have helped us tremendously in our careers and have never looked back. Likewise we have also made unfortunate decisions that have had adverse effects on our lives.

The decision that marred my career was that I stayed on a particular job for 7 years. It wasn't particularly a fantastic job but I had rest of mind. Now that the company has folded up, interviewers keep asking me why I stayed on a job for that long. That it means I can't take up new challenges easily. Sigh

I have to say,there are several events that culminated in what I have as a prospective career today but the whole thing could have been different from the start.

First, when I did my first WAEC, I had B2 in Biology, I loved Biology but hated the sight of blood PR a hurting person. My Dad wanted me to become a medical doctor. Unfortunately or fortunately, I made D7 in English. I saw this as a blessing. Before you accuse me of thinking with a truckload of myopia, If I had made English, I was going to take Pre-Degree in MBBS at OAU and my fate might be about to be sealed, I couldn't allow that happen. So when I wanted to take another O'Level, I decided to fail Biology, yeah, that's right. I gave out my Biology textbook and note and didn't read a word to go take the exam. I had an E... I never for mentioned the biology in the other result. This changed the path I was to take.

Another would have been when I didn't take up Chemical Engineering at LAUTECH and Building Technology at Yabatech. I was seeking for Mechanical, well I landed Computer Engineering and I am glad I never took every other one.

Well, as for me the worst decision i took was investing on the so-called MMM....

My decision not to take any job and purse M.Sc program. Will be starting very soon, getting prepared with full force though scared of running out of finance but I'm determined to take anyway....I pray it helps my career in the long run
