Career / Re: Blue-collar Job In The UK Or White-collar Job In Nigeria? by yemmyma: 9:24am On Oct 11, 2012 |
nass07: Nigerians need to wise up, things have changed, despite the odds white collar jobs employee nigerian can feed a blue collar job nigerian abroad and even sponsor that individual's education at home. Why do you guys use a few people to judge the huge number of struggling Nigerians in Nigeria. I studied outside of Nigeria for my B.Sc and it would be good to tell you that a large number of Africans who are hard working where i live would have completed a nice duplex easily in Nigeria before they got their B.Sc. Now tell me, all the years i spent studying in Nigeria, i was caked up by my parent for pocket money. Take a look at the photo (Independence day celebration in the U.S) below. Would you tell me that all these people have white collar jobs in the U.S? Let us assume the heads you see in this picture is the population of Nigerians in the U.S and they all come back to Nigeria with at least a Masters degree, who will employ them? See, Op, life is not easy anywhere, your friend should have had a back up plan. I always say Nigerians stay back in the U.K. because they think they have found their nirvana. Europe is a big continent, go out and explore.

Career / Re: Msc. Or Ph.d by yemmyma: 3:37am On Sep 24, 2012 |
xplen: Yes it does, I did BSc Industrial Chemistry, now doing MSc Oil and Gas Operation Management and got another offer in MSc Chemical Engineering tho not Scholarship. But is it advisable to get 2 masters or i should proceed to PhD instead of the 2nd masters tho i dont wanna become a lecturer? Thanks Your decision should now be, if you want to be a manager or an engineer? In my opinion it is not too much to have a second masters but you might want to get some work experience under your belt so you don't become over-qualified for some entry level jobs(not like it is a bad thing). |

My grades are good too. I just wanna know what's d way forward. If you have good grades, why don't you try getting a job? If none is not forthcoming, then you can as well try to apply for a masters course. You should read the Oil and Gas threads as well to get more insight. https://www.nairaland.com/768160/total-oil-gas-workers Hope this helps |

Ihedinobi: Your point is now crystal clear to me. A more practical approach should be incorporated in the Bachelors curriculum has been your stand point. Even for someone like me who traveled to different countries as an undergraduate on excursion, i still wanted more because of my wary nature to the demands from the employment market. That was how i got bludgeoned to apply for a masters program immediately after my bachelors, so that i can narrow my understanding to a chosen field and deepen my knowledge in it. As for the placing more value to the B.Sc, a similar analogy would be, what we bought with 500 Naira 10 years ago should not be sold at 1000 Naira today |

trae_z: Talking about proactive, i actually googled that information immediately i made my first comment to get an insight. I would say there is no 'one size fits all' solution to it. All suggestions i read online were the contributors opinions. Employers preferences may vary, i bet treading the safe line should be watchword. richarts: Congrats on your job success. I am sure you are just as you described in the first paragraph. |
Career / Re: Geez! No Industrial Engineers On Nairaland! Pity! by yemmyma: 11:32am On Aug 26, 2012 |
Ihedinobi: You have religiously asserted that teaching styles should change from what it is today. You emphasized a more practical approach to teaching as opposed to only/very theoretical approach which in itself is a good thing. That was why i said that learning theory at the Bachelors level over a very wide spectrum of topics does not necessarily put you on the job. You still have to be trained for some time to be able to apply your school lessons to the job. If i list what my undergraduate curriculum entails maybe you will understand me a lot better. |
Career / Re: Geez! No Industrial Engineers On Nairaland! Pity! by yemmyma: 10:04am On Aug 26, 2012 |
Ihedinobi: Yet, i still maintain that you are with us on what a B.Sc is today. I don't know how different it is from the past in which you referenced your parents. The truth is, only a few Bachelors degree can put you on the job with a very very deep knowledge of your field without any prior training. That is what a Masters will do for you nowadays. The job front is very competitive, more demanding than ever. Employers don't even want to train you because it cost them to do that, hence the reason for the emphasis on 'experience'. In Europe, most scientific universities have a curriculum that pushes students straight to the masters level without any break. This is what you see in countries like Germany, France, Finland etc. But of course, the students could have garnered some work experience during their summer breaks which we don't necessarily have in Nigeria except for compulsory I.T at our polytechnics. Extreme competitions created the current realities on ground. That is why a polytechnic education is still a must in any progressive economy. |

AjanleKoko: Interesting indeed. I bet he was on the same page with us on the generic nature of a B.Sc. I found the objection rather contradictory to his proposed change to the style of educating in this current paradigm. |

richarts: I observed intently on Nairaland how some people got their <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="#">jobs</a> via this site, how they got it by favour & how a lot of people are still looking for a job that they deserve. I observed intently my friends that we graduated together & how some are... I mean most of them have good paying jobs while some of us were still waiting to get our first job. I really enjoyed your post, but the highlighted got me thinking. You mentioned 'some' companies, what if some other companies were expecting you to have a suit on? I don't know if that is a de-facto way of dressing up for a group interview. |
