My best advice is for you to go to dubai.... Leave d law skool for now.. Try ND save plenty wen u get there.. If u re honest, dilligent ND committed in ur job there, u might get promoted.. Youve heard about dat Nigerian guy dat was awarded by his boss in dubai? I didnt read d full story though.. 80% of my friends dat went to law skool are as broke as nothing...no job, no connections.... It got so bad dat one of dem applied as an office assistant in one telco, where hes to earn 30k per month.. 3 Likes |

Goddys:U sud be certain of exactly what u'll be doing in dubai..and how trusted is your friend, the job, the pay, cost of living in dubai..? put all these into consideration then decide if it worths it... It's all about opportunity cost, decision making, taking responsibility for your decisions and learning from your mistakes |

Goddys: Gbam. My lawyer who is about 31 years old now is a millionaire in Nigeria. How he did it, I don't really know. You can hit on a deal immediately after law school. |

ahmg001: I have read this tread and you have spoken... this is an advice directly from someone who lives in Dubai. Take your law training and the sky is your limit, take the factory work and the roof of the factory is yours. The implication of your decision will be felt in 10 years. When you get yourself educated, doors will open when you least expect it. You can take up a factory work anytime in any country but you cannot take up your law proffession so easily. Know what, you might not practice law at the end of the day but your experience and knowledge will be with you for a life time. My dear friend studied law in Nigeria, went to law schools in Nigeria and studied law in the UK as well. Will all those qualification he did not practice law, he works a ITIL practitioner ( information technology library). All companies value his law skills because he writes like a lawyer, even his boss calls him to review emails before he sends them out. Now he earns 500 pounds a day, yes 9000 pounds a month. so the decision is yours. 1 Like 1 Share |

Goddys: I doubt if you really studied law. How can you not complete ur law school so that u can become a full lawyer. Are u so desperate that u wanna go for a slave job instead of pursuing ur career? 1 Like |

Speeddial: Such Phd holders don't merit the certificate. Even if it means lecturing part-time in tutorial centers, ICAN lecture centers, Distance Learning Schools like DLI (UNILAG) etc., or marking exam scripts he won't go hungry. And that would have been more dignifying than applying for a driving job. |

Goddys:guy go to dubai do the job for two months and see how it goes.if it favours you,then u can stay. If it does not favour you,then u take the next available flight back to nigeria and continue your law school. The reason why u want to be a lawyer is fitst to make money and take care of yourself and secondly for name and prestige. 1 Like |

Why not work as a factory worker for like a year or so and try to save atleast 500dollars per month , convert it to naira ans send to your naija bank account at home , with current dollar rate you can be sending about 200k to your naija bank acount. Do that for like 1year , It should be tangible enough to start cool business in Nigeria. Forget all them white collar jobs for naija, most businessmen who knows their onions earn s far more than those sitting under AC suffering themselves. And if your destiny lies in the dUBAI ish, another opportunity might have sprung up in that city. 1 Like |

Get your qualifications bro. 400k is not even a lot of money. Less than £1,000. That is a pathetic reason to forgo law school. |

dantori: Mechanical engineering graduates should be able to teach Mathematics and Physics. Many private secondary schools are looking for good teachers in sciences and mathematics. Extramural classes are there, you should reach out rather than showing interest in factory work. 1 Like 1 Share |
