Times dat ur salary by 12months datz wat some entrepreneur use to buy goods monthly and make more turn.


Its foolishness/cowardice to pick salary over profit.

Lol, let's stay on track here and not digress. We are all educated I believe (although the Nigerian education system is utter crap, so I'll understand if you can't argue intelligently), so you probably know we aren't discussing entrepreneurship vs paid employment. We are discussing degree level vs salary attached. Stop being an illiterate.

PS: I didn't even apply for the job, and rejected offers from 4 different companies between my fourth year in university (2016) and now. So, if you can't see beyond inaccurate qualifications of your intelligence level by people who aren't properly equipped to make that decision, then maybe, just maybe, they are right about your intelligence level...equivalent to ink on paper.

I finished with 3rd class too. Yes you can do masters. You have to do PGD first. I just completed mine and I've gotten admission for masters.

All the best.

OP, pls take this from someone that has done a PGD before. Don't waste your time and money.
PGD is a waste of time.
I'll tell u why:
First they tell you it 18months. Trust me u will spend much longer. It can get up to three years. Universities don't pay attention to PGD students hence na anytime dey like dem dey attend to them. I spent close to three years for PGD at Unizik. Still even waiting for the result since 2014.

Secondly, you spend a while lot of money. You may think you'll pay ur fees maybe once or twice, trust me it can get up to thrice, d fees don't stop from one story to another.

Thirdly even if you do 4 PGD's the first point of call when applying for anything is your first degree. When it doesn't meet their 1.1 or 2.1 your PGD doesn't matter. PGD doesn't cover your first degree by anymeans. Only few firms or properly lecturing MAY give u audience.

My Advice
Apply for a D.E start from 300level and get a good first degree.
Or Go do professional courses, well known ones. The ACA, the ICAN, belong to a professional body, etc.
you are very correct sir... Uniben business administration dept is the worst when it comes to running PGD. My brother, most departments don't pay serious attention to PGD students. I see running PGD in some departments as a waste of financial resources. At least one will pay tuition fee for three or four sessions

Even if you do PHD the highest you can get in Nigeria is Night shift supervisor in an Hotel in Lagos...

Salary 30k tops, excludes benefits like health,house but may be you can get allowance on Transport 200 naira per day x 30 days 6k so you should get up to 40k per month max!

To the best of your reasoning or believe. I finished with 3rd class and i am earning 140k. Its not all about grade/qualification, your potential/skill is needed somehwere

Don't know what I studied, and don't care to know, so in a nutshell, shut the Bleep up, and go find a bearing to your miserable life!!!

If I don’t give a fu(k if you work or not, or how much you collect then what makes you think I would give 2 fu(ks? You are just a retarded fellow with no single epitome of reasoning and mind you I don’t blame your so called company for employing you without checking your credentials because people who are myopic and don’t reason work together...

Good for you.. Think about 3rd degree holders including the one who started this post cause if he had a clue he won’t start this post in the first place and even talking about going for masters you didn’t go too before you got your 140k job..

Yes, you can do masters, but you have to do Pdg for one year. However, you should not allow the issue of third class to bother your. You can end up becoming a prof if you wish.

Whatever your plan is, always remember the world is run by people who didn't go to school.

Don't lose your self-esteem. A friend of mine who had 3rd class back in school now employs some of his classmates who had 1.1, 2.1, and 2.2 in his group of companies
my self esteem is very very intact... Made a costly mistake back in school, like I said it was not academically related and I think I Sabi book small....

I just want to know if it won't deny me some opportunities, and from what I can seduces from yesterday, it's very doable, though with a longer time frame....

He has no self esteem to lose. Anyone with a little self esteem will not go to school and fail out with a third class. Go and start learning Fashion Design before you get old and unable to learn again. I will tell you the truth even if it hurts, that's what makes a true friend. So, get angry if you want to. Later you will realize that you truly deserve to be flogged at the market square for wasting the nation and your parents resources.

But, do you also know that you can make a new decision and resolution to make a change? You can go for PGD, learn a trade or even start afresh. The decision is in your hand.

Fvck off! Everything has a grade! 3rdie is just a grade and there is a place for excellence for him just like the 1st n 2.1 if he determines! Work place exploit is different from classroom
