Be, I advice you stick to your job and find a way to get project defence done in code.
You'll get a better job offer with masters yea, but its nt a certainty.

Tell your boss you are running a program, he/hr will surely give you encouraging.

Then on issue of you returning to the job after your masters,if you have that liberty still look for a way to combine else quit and return

Hello nairalanders pls I need your unbiased advice.

So I started my MSc program long before the lockdown since I had no job and needed to upgrade, after class work and examination the lockdown couldn't allow me complete my project lab work, all these while I was actively looking for a job.

Luckily I got one with a private firm and decent pay (110k) but doesn't give me time to do any other thing, now my project defence is in a months time, I applied for 6 weeks leave without pay so I can concentrate and complete my project and defence since my job is overly demanding but was denied.

My only option is to resign and come back to re-apply for the job after my defense, I seriously need this job because I have alot of financial responsibilities at the moment.

I am tempted to to let go of the defence for now and focus on the job till am financially stable.

Pls I need your candid advice.

stay with the job, your mac won't put food on the table

There is no guarantee you will even get a job after the MSc. Let alone getting a better one. In private sector your skills and experience matter most.

Are you done with your lab work? IF you're done with done with the lab work, you should seek for a week casual leave to finish up. Don't resign from that job.

Looking at the situation at hand are very risky,job aren't available,only few are hijacked with opportunities and connection..Since is a Master degree,y don't you explained your situation to your H.O.D of your department or coordinator of your program.. whether there's a way to help you out?Master degree is very expensive and to start again may not be easy as you think, It's better to equates the two for better future.. Don't leave the job, likewise don't leave the master degree.. Balanced the two by taking the biggest risk in protecting the two..But I know you can't lose the Master certificate,if you can take a good step..best of luck..

hmmm, follow your heart

Did you get the job by connection?As a graduate,it is hard to get a job of #80k without connection.

pls don't play with your job..there is no job in Nigeria now
....hold the one you have now with strong hands.. who master help for this country....

Good point
I was thinking same

If you are financially capable to sustain yourself during your msc .then go for the MSC but if No , your major priority is finance and looking at the country right now getting job isn't easy.so get enough money and quit the job for MSC .

Try doing both

What are you mastering?

Go for the job pls

No even try leave your job for MSC completion

Some are with masters and PhD without JOB

You can continue with your masters

But it's possible you gonna loose that job post

Even when you try to connect back...they may not consider you anymore...


If you can pend your masters, that's fine

If not...just finish it up

God will help u secure better job

You can continue with your masters

If you go back for that masters you will regret it

If you are a doc, medical lab scientists or other fields that have easy job access, kindly quit your job and finish Masters, if not, kindly leave MSC. I know more than 10people with PhD that cannot boast of #10000 job. Be wise, Msc is nothing in Nigeria for many courses. May you not regret

110 is not decent. So go and complete your masters

Pls continue with your job..

Are you serious?

You're done with all your exams, save for project and you just won't get it over and done with?

I understand the pressure of wanting to stabilise and settle in a job, but finish what you started.

Ask for 4 weeks' leave with no pay, so they understand that you really need it.

If they still refuse, then tender a resignation. I doubt they'll accept it. They'll give you the leave you need.

If they still don't give you the leave, then please leave, they don't value you. If you don't complete the project now, when will you complete it ?

Thegracefulness:
Since your company has refused to let you grow (putting it bluntly here now), it’s best you weigh your odds. How long do you think you could work in a company with only a B.Sc degree?

At the instance of them sacking you—nobody prays for that, but really—how many other jobs would rightfully employ you with just a B.Sc? Also, don’t you think there’s something wrong with your employer refusing to grant you something as common as a month’s “unpaid” leave?
If you ask me, I’d say there’s some sort of parasitic non-symbiotic relations going on.
I’d advice that you take a “Sick Leave.”
According to The Labour Policy articulated in 1975, by the Mohammed/Obasanjo’s government, every employee is entitled to a sick leave.
That being said, I wish you luck. Don’t leave your work without sufficiently satisfying yourself that upon your return, you still have your job available.

In my case, I’d love to find out from anybody experienced on this issue bothering me.
I have an LLB currently, I’d love to further my degree to my Master’s level. I am considering a Masters in Law (LL.M) in University of Lagos. I’m wondering if it would be possible also, to pursue a Master’s in Political Science with my LLB in same University. And what are the possibilities that I can lecture “Political Science” in a Nigerian University with an LLB, and a Masters in Political Science? Thank you very much.

I also need funds for my Masters degree. Hence I’d be selling Landed properties in Igbo-Etche Port Harcourt at really affordable prices. Please do well to relate me to buyers, or check my profile.
Na community dey get pikin wey do well.

Doing both at the same time in one University in NIGERIA is not possible.
Secondly, I think you have to obtain certificate in EDUCATION be you can land a lecturing JOB in the Government owned Higher institutions in this country

Defer the Msc program. I have a friend who is a PhD holder without a job. Beside in the labour market what really counts isn't the array of degree one possesses but the experience one has garnered on account of years of working.

Put the Msc program on temporary hold or better still you can save and explore online option in foreign universities. Online affords the flexibility that suits working class people.

You better finish you masters. By the grace of God you will have another job.

OP, in most schools the maximum year of masters program is 4years and minimum is 18months, if you have not spent upto 4years in your MSC program, please forget the defense, you can come back the next year to complete and defend your project.

OP if you resign from your job there are thousand and one person that is ready to snap up your job.

Blessynene:


my project defence is in a months time

Pls I need your candid advice.

Are you sure schools will be opened in months time? What if you resign .... then there is a strike.... 4th or whatever COVID-19 wave... or schools needing more time to put Covid protocols in place? But then failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Your employer knows your situation.... I suggest you propose working extra hours for 4 days and having the fifth day off to concentrate on your project. Your employer should flex with you... but if not....you need to work as long as possible to save as much as possible before resigning. After, I suggest you look for employment elsewhere.

Ehmmmm..... how can I.... your Oga... allow you.... a female.... to go and get higher qualifications than I? .... God forbid.....not under my watch....the future will not be female.

God is always faithful brother Biko complete your master project


They said opportunity come but once but remember that God only judge through our heart.

he will surely replace it

That's how she'll wake up, two years flown by and still stuck in that company with an incomplete education.

Hello,

This is a fragile situation with neither yes nor no as a definite answer.
Did u discuss with your employer before applying for the leave? Did you disclose the MSC project defence to d employer? I do not think that they would have denied you the leave if you had opened up to them. May be they would have reduced the number of days requested.

stubbornman:
No job will give you six weeks leave...c'mon let's be realistic!

Put it rightly, only few private jobs in our today's economy could grant six weeks of leave

Tough one. God would guide u in making the right decision
