How do you guys study an easy course that doesn't involve calculation and still come out with third class. You obviously were not reading.

Buhahahaha!!!!! I understand you very well, you probably own a a fried indomie joint down the next street and therefore are an 'entrepreneur'. Also, if you know the smallest thing about entrepreneurship, then you won't even have this mindset in the first place as it is the mindset of a failure waiting to happen...if it already hasn't happened.

Forgive me for this! But if you're really interest in schooling, you wouldn't have graduated with a third class. You don't have to do what others are doing. How about looking into what your interested in? What suits you yourself as a profession.
I've never seen any job taking a third class even with masters. You better find something else you are passionate about. Book is not fit everybody and no be everybody go work for office.

are you OK, a third class means you barely got 50% in all your modules, in other words you struggled. How then can you can you do or cope with the advanced stage of the course.
that was not the true representation of things,i struggled, but not with my academics. The more reason I'd like to embark on the advanced stage of things....

Nah...that's not what I am saying. The moment you look down on others (like you've done to people with paid employment), that very moment, your failure as an employer of labour begins because guess what, your staff are in that class of people, and will inevitably be the cause of your business failure. Also, if you recruit staff based on academic qualifications, and not skill, you will be on the losing end because skill trumps academic qualifications anyday, anytime!!

There are certain risks true entrepreneurs never take because they amount to gambling. You take informed risks (even though there's a fear of failure) which greatly reduces chances of failure. Uninformed risks on the other hand (gambling) has a much higher chance of failure as well as the same fear factor of informed risks. Skill over certificate is one of these informed risks, because you can already measure staff performance even before they start working with you, cost less to manage and train, and have higher output/better results. Looking at certificate on the other hand, especially in a Nigerian society where grades are literally bought with money, is a perfect recipe for disaster!!!! Look beyond the certificate!!!!

Re: Finished With A Third Class Degree, Can I Do Masters? by Nobody: 10:36am On Mar 16, 2019
You can. Do a PGD, pass well and you can do a masters. I know of someone who had a third class in Chemistry, he did a PGD, masters and went on to do a PhD in record time. it can be done
Re: Finished With A Third Class Degree, Can I Do Masters? by bong4(m): 10:37am On Mar 16, 2019
In Nigeria, you have to do a PGD before your masters. And you must have an upper credit at least. What is your discipline?

Why do people always think that 3rd class graduates are academically dull. Let me tell u a story, During my undergraduates days 1 of the best guys in my class did graduate with a 3rd. Dude was good practically, bt couldn't cope with the academics reason being that he was not a good crammer. And sure u know if you ain't a good crammer nothing for u in Nigeria uni's. To cut the long story short dude is now in Canada working with a multinational. PS this guy helped most of us with our project back then.

Don't take my advice personal
You would have read very hard to get a second class be it higher or lower than spending more to get a masters

Most labour markets are after first degree not second degree
