After finishing from school, isn't it the same certificate you'll use to be looking for money...? Most of those rich people out there are either drop outs or didn't go to school. I didn't say the OP shouldn't go to school.. But he should face his business, then afterwards he'll can go to school to acquire some knowledge. 2 Likes |

brosthink: Go for business.How many people that wasted 5 years or more in sch could buy properties these days ?Moreover you can still enrol in any part time program once you are made.Business over school anytime.If you doubt me,go to Alaba International and Trade fair,you will see where a primary sch holder is a master to many graduates. 5 Likes |

brosthink: Well, nwa boy was done in the old days like in the 20th century, this is the 21st century, there are so many businesses you can run and make money in two years rather than work as a boy boy for 6 years.. If you have a phone then you should know the opportunities that await you. There is not business you can run as an igbo man now that will bring you enough money. I am telling you the complete truth, struggle to go to school now. Stud something useful and your life will be changed forever. |

Take advantage of the golden opportunity you have been offered and get an education. Education liberates the mind and opens doors. I graduated in my twenties from the university and from the day I left school, people older, richer more experienced than me called me 'sir' because of my qualifications. It was embarrassing after a while. Like everyone else, I have been broke many times, but I have never been without options. Education gives you the chance to bounce back. Anyone can make money, but a rich illiterate is the object of jokes and ridicule and an educated man can never be truly poor. 1 Like |

Amberon11: Yes, this is only for the unlucky ones. If the OP is lucky and gets a good oga. By the time he has been settled ehn, he would be far richer than his educated mates who would have just been finishing NYSC or with their worn out shoes looking for jobs on the streets of Nigeria walking everywhere with their CVs. I know what am telling you. We who went to school are still either looking for or struggling hard where to fit in, but i know some nwa boys who left to serve oga same time with us that are now big boys with million naira businesses. 1 Like |

Furthering your Education will give you knowledge and prestige but business is what will help you to survive. While doing business, don't forget to learn everyday. Read books, some magazines and some newspapers to be in the know. You can even enroll for short training courses either paid or free. Some online courses are available for free too, for instance, HP life e-learning. Taking such short courses will help you to manage your business better. The sad truth is that higher education in Nigeria is like expired medicine. It has done far more harm than good. If you are going for the nwa boy stuff, ensure you, your parents and your new oga have a written and signed agreement in the presence of eyewitness. Such agreement should be in triplicate with each party having a copy. 3 Likes |

dplordx: @Brosthink, what this guy Is saying above is not always true. Unless you have enough money or a rich sponsor to sponsor your education up to your Phd level (which will take not less than 10 years) and you also have connections to get a good job after graduation. Then i advice you to go for business (but better still learn a handwork) cos not all ogas are reliable to nwa boys. Many of us after spending many years in school, still come out to start business from the scratch like our mates who never went to school. Education in Nigeria is not worth it! Unless you get to study a professional course like medicine and pharmacy. My best advice for you is to learn a good handwork first and then go for part time education while you develop your business at the same! Never give all you have to education in Nigeria unless you are from a rich background. Funny enough, I am from a fairly rich background, but i regretted giving my all to education since 6 years ago, cos as soon as i got to my final year in school, my sponsor started dissapointing me seriously and i became frustrated and managed to graduate. This affected my results and gave me an extra year and the worse of all, the course i studied was like a useless course which has no job prospect in Nigeria. With this bitter experience, i swore to myself to give younger ones and intending admission seekers a piece of my heart, never to make same mistake again. My younger brother is about to take his jamb and i made it compulsory for him to enrol and learn some advanced IT skills and if possible practice for 1 whole year before he starts thinking of writing post Ume and seeking for admission. Don't make the same mistake I made! 3 Likes |

brosthink: I believe the man you are going to work for is one of those igbo businessmen who owns a shop somewhere. After working for him for sometime you will be paid off to starts, now, there is no guarantee that you will make it in business after you start yours and there is no guarantee that you will live a happy life with it. I mean these are not like the old days anymore, things have changed. But with a certificate, if you work really hard and smart and not like some half-baked graduate, you will a real chance in life to stand with your head high and make a real living, at that time you would have two choices in life. You can either start a business to live your life and you can also get employed anywhere, the more choices you have it life the easier life becomes for you. With a good result and a sharp mind, you can build a future you can be sure of, one you will have the guarantee of and best of all you can start your own business still. The government now gives loans to people who want to start their own business, but I believe it's for graduates. So I don't see any reason you will want to be an nwa boy for 6 years just to get enough money when you can take Jamb this year and study something that will benefit you, graduate, work hard and smart to get a job and then your life will kick start from there. |

brosthink:Check out this link for the HP free courses http://www.life-global.org There are also lots of free courses in https://www.edx.org Also, to help you narrow down your interests, consider taking some self assessment tests such as https://www.mynextmove.org/explore/ip http://www.assessment.com https://www.truity.com/test/holland-code-career-test Beware these assessments can take as much as 1 hour to complete but they are very helpful. 1 Like |

i will advice you have a definite plan for school and the future...with a dedicated plan for you to follow, you will miss the steps....this is my advice to you now venture into business, this is where that plan comes into play which you must adhere to strictly as if ur life depends on it....then save alot for your school...you have to save alot to meet your plan and school targets... when you have funds, going to school will be easy and better...you can even be doing your business and register for part time...but you have to go into business for at least 2 years first before thinking of school things |

I will advise you to go for business,they are many graduate outside there with masters looking for job without getting any,for me once you are in Nigeria go for business.if to says I know that time I could have learned work and be and independent man. |
Re: Help!! Business Or School? by yungpowers(m): 12:21pm On Dec 23, 2017 |
my guy hence you don't have a sponsor I would advice you to opt for business. All those ranting school up and down didn't you read that op is financially handicapped? When I left school, I had no money to further my education despite beings afloat intellectually in class. I acquired some skills and today it's beginning to pay off, sometime in 2019 I will enroll into schools for a part time program. Not because I wanna get rich but for the joy and prestige of being educated. It's all about proper planning. NB: You are the architect of your destiny. |
