The job is not giving me time. I go on Saturdays but When I look at the number of unemployed youths I think twice about it.
...if your employer will allow you to write external exams,you can check out National Open University of Nigeria. Though the University is not for light-hearted folks...

We resume by 8.30 am and close by 5.30pm. Saturdays 9am to 1pm. You have to card in and card out. If you don't come to office,a little amount may be deducted from your salary.

You can do it only if you forego almost completely everything else apart from work & studies till you earn your Masters. That means no owambe, flexing and gfs get to understwnd sey bobo dey for hibernation grin

In short it is difficult but DOABLE with lots of DISCIPLINE.

I work in the human resources dept and I will like to build a career there. I want to do a MSC along that line. I am 23 years old.
...I may be wrong. MSc is not of any value in non-academic setting. Why not check out professional Masters like MBA or others...

It depends on d sch and d probably d dept in question, would he be registering for a part time or full time programme? Some schs insist on attendance of lectures if it is a full time programme.

Since you are still living in the family house and earning 60k I guess the family is also going to sponsor you?

I would advise you to not loss this great opportunity! You have free accomadation, free food, free tution and no wify or kids wahala! With age on your side.

PLS quickly go and start the master and don't leave that job! It's better to get an extra semeter and bag that Masters degree at your prime.

Get a very good rapport with your direct supervisors at work; let him understand you are studying and before you know it, you would be convocating!!!

People working under me, once I know you are combining I exempt you from weekend duty!

All the best!!! Don't joke with this your 60k 1st job...it would open doors to the Million naira jobs later!

If d job is payin well dnt ever leave it for anything u r damn lucky to ve one. Find a way to combine it wit d masters. Millions of youths r roaming d streets with masters n no job so d masters can't guarantee any job.

It depends on the type of Job you are doing, if it's a prospective job. Also it depends on the country you are planning to go for your masters. If it's UK, pls don't leave your job, but if it's US or Canada. You can go ahead

Re: I Want To Leave My Job For Masters by abbey621(m): 3:26pm On Jun 14, 2015
Two words for you: Online classes! Register with a university here in the U.S, you stay in Nigeria, complete your classes online and you get your degree. You can work and still achieve your goals. It's a total of 14 classes for a typical master program and each class is about 250,000 Naira. It's a huge financial investment but the rewards far outweighs the cost. Forget about quitting your job and settling for a Nigerian master degree, most Nigerian companies don't value Nigerian masters unless the candidate also has professional certifications.

Hello everyone, I am a fresh graduate and got my first Job 3 months after Nysc. I am 23 years and I am thinking of going back to school for my Masters. Your opinions please?
nice one bruh, Msc at 25 yrs old wont be a regret for u.
now here is my advice; from ur reply, u said u work in d HR dept and u want to do ur masters allign to that. well, there. are two types of Msc. academic msc(for those that wants to proceed for PhD) and professional msc(NO PhD). now if ur job is paying very well, i will suggest u go for d professional msc(lectures re mostly weekends since most students there re workers) but for academic msc combined with job, brother in a school like ui, u may not graduate with a useful grade point(Phd grade) and d purpose of an academic msc has been defeated. to me academic msc is for those that wants to be in academic line( i.e lecturer) and not in d field. so go off nairaland, do ur research very well, seek advice from senior colleagues in Human resources and use ur head too. cheers!
