Oooops:
My greatest mistake i still regret was choosing to attend a polytechnic even tho i had a choice to go to a university.... I attended a federal technical college and was crazy about getting practical knowledge.... Got admission thesame time for Ambrose Alli University and Auchi Polytechnic.... chose the polytechnic and i still regret my actions.... cos your practical knowledge would not give you d promotion nor enhancement out here....
ADVICE::
If u currently have that intention of going thru a Poly or even currently in one, Please, drop it and go start again or better have a backup plan to further... cos with a poly result,,, prepare for discrimination.... and don't expect a miracle!!!

tell them bro.

not only in Nigeria sef. if you want to further in a well developed country, you cant do masters or Pgd with HND. you have to apply for undergraduate at year 2.

OND is the worst. you cant even use it for undergraduate admission outside the country as it is not rated as equivalent to 1st year in university or A level - Not is South Africa, and even hardly in Ghana except for less recognised schools abroad..

he who have eyes should read and note this...

My greatest mistake is seeking for practical knowledge in polytechnic. Despite getting admitted to funaab the same time I got admitted to polyibadan. Am done with my national diploma and Industrial Training.
Passed jamb already but the greatest pain is losing 3years to polytechnic education when I should be going for service next year. I would be going for matriculation.

Dear, Polytechnic is a waste of time. I can say it anytime any day.! I have good results in both ND and HND. Every Vacancy outside is only ment for BSC holders. What's d essence of going to school if you can't use the cert?


Aspireahead:

please can you explain more.... for me I see all of them as just waste of 4/5 years....I should have pursued my dreams without taking the school route. BTW I am in my final year in the university.

My greatest mistake is.. I chose to be a science student because my dad asked me to...
Re: What Is The Greatest Mistake You Made In Choosing Your Career .... by Wiseoldman: 4:16pm On Jul 10, 2015
I started with a love for everything science in junior secondary...i was going to become a scientist. Love for money pushed my attention towards my rich aunts field (accounting). Right about the end of high school money pushed me towards my richer uncle's field (petroleum engineering). During jamb my dad made chose chemical engineering because of an even richer aunt. I nonetheless changed this choice to mechanical engineering with a tipex at d jamb form submission center. Today I can say it has turned out not too bad :-) I am another soldier plying my trade with the "Biggest company you have never heard off" keeping watch on the blue waters ensuring ur fuel never runs out....

I still believe both are a waste of precious time. I have a friend in the hostel who graduated from economics and is telling me he is looking for money to attend video making school as that is where his dreams lie, although he already has a job as the Client Relation officer for Modeducation consultants in calabar, and I ask him why did he then study economics in the university... this are his exact words "the only lesson I have learnt in the university is that i abandoned my dreams trying to impress the society" and i could not agree any less. I remember all the things I wanted to be and do before my admission... I remember the things I could do...all that is now history. the worst part is that i won't be graduating with a 'good' degree.
BTW...there is a job in the front page that accepts HND qualifications...and I will advice you talk to xfire in the career section...there is this thread of his that I have been drawing inspiration from. all is well.
