So, i went for yabatech part time admission may be i would be offer mech eng, if i were admitted i want to go for either generator repair or auto mobile from those unskilled labour, pls, how advisable my plans are?

It's a good plan. Nigeria needs more of you.
Note, however, there is no glamour in what you are trying to do, no big bucks, at least not initially.
You're going to have to work very hard, study very hard, and try to train yourself as much as you can. But if you are committed, you can win in the end. Your route is a good one.

Thanks for your concern, my friends had told me this before that it is a matter of hw much i am able to earn, it is nt hw far bt hw well but i see all as discouragement because i believe on day my engineering knowledge will earn me money even i can be self employed. pls enlight me more on this may be i should pick up d choice dat will earn me quick money.

Quick money?
Why not go to ride Okada? No quicker cash than that.
On a serious note, there is nothing like quick cash, unless you want to steal. Better work hard and learn mechanical engineering at Yabatech. The world is fast moving towards a new paradigm where only those who can do something are the ones with any value, rather than the ones with worthless degrees.

After your programme at yabatech, get university education.

Generator repair? What will happen by the time power problem in 9ja gets solved? You can still acquire that as a skill without necessarily going into the university for that, you can focus on automobile instead.

By the way what's driving you, is it the money you hope to make eventually once you acquire this knowledge? If money is the key reason then I'll suggest you go for whatever is available and could be lucrative. Have a plan B, time waits for no man.

Thanks NLders, not that the money is the issue but hard working without money is worthless and i like to be proficient @ what am doing, anyone with more advice

since you wanted to proffessionalise your skil but the uni didnt give you admission knowthis; to mea given agric is an opportunity advantage for you. in agric your gen skill will aid you in aquaculture and animal husbandry such as poultry and domestic farming but in mec skill you hv to base in agro farming as regard to mechanised farming.
