please i need your advice. i sat for this year jamb and i performed very well. i also obtained nigeria airforce form in which i was shortlisted to write naf exam. should i go for nigeria airforce or should i countinue to process my admission to the universty ? # thanks alot
I think university will be better... using o'level to enter the airforce may be quite difficult... and you can later go for your airforce after university education if it's your passion... and your rank will be higher than those who entered with school cert...

Sales Job rocks. But many people don't understand what its takes to be a sales man. Some people are scared of target while others are scared cos they think its a commission based work. But sales is more than that. In every organization sales is the life wire of the company and the companies progress depends on the amount of sales its generates out there. A sales man can never go out of job because its the only process that interface with other humans no wonder sales men are the last to be touched in every company. People must buy and people must sale. People must eat, bath, drink, cook, play, sleep, etc and its takes a sales man to fix all this issues. If you doubt me apply for sales position for any FCMG company and you will never go back to the office to work

@OP you could have been more creative rather just do copy and paste from a website. You didn't even take the societal difference between USA and Nigeria into consideration.

Computer science rocks - be it security, database administration, software development etc... You'll never go wrong with it as long as you're competent. Don't tell me you can't find a job, it's because you can't do the damn thing!

And need I mention that computer engineers get paid as much or sometimes more than computer scientists?
Which 1 is better. Computer science or engineering
Pls give me a detailed explanation
