My course mate and a good friend who has a Bsc. Zoology (2.1) cert. and currently teaching in a private school and will complete his Msc course work this April and has started his project, just got a contract job in one of the Nigerian banks and wishes to abandon the programme, is pleading for honest and sincere advice from matured and experienced N'landers. Pls your advice is greatly appreciated

He should manage to complete his msc program na. But money is the cause of all the struggles na. Owo ni koko ooo

'Money in d bank' I so much love dis WWE title.


Oga tell him to PAUSE dat masters degree and take up d job. Money first...

Cos for dis era, his Msc will be useless if there's no MONEY IN THE BANK

thanks brother for ur time and advice

Bank contract job permit me to say is a no no! You will definitely be happy to pass it up and finish off with your masters which leaves u a greater chance of getting a better stable job. Please carry on with your programme, a bank today is not where i'd advise anyone to start up a career......

No, it's not just an inkling or a thought! I know it cos this was my story!!! I had first hand experience as to what a bank frigging contract job could do to a 'beautiful mind'

I promise you its never gonna be worth your jumping ship.

You are already on the right track with that masters, something I rather wished I went for than taking that job

In all its all good.
Wishing you the very best friend!

[quote author=dazzle101 post=42036448] thanks a million sister mi

My take...

That bank job is a distration. April is 3months from now and @ the end you will b in 'better' charge of ur future.

....distractions show up towards the break of dawn.

Shuuuuuu! With 3 months 2 go......on top contract job? abeg let him finish

he should focus on his masters since he still has course work to do

Welcome much dear

not just 3 months to go.. 3 months to complete his course work and one year plus(naija university factor) for project work

Cnt he do both togeda?...he shud try to blend both no matter how hard it might be.

He can try and do both na, except there a penalty for not attending classes, as long as he his sure he can pass the exam, person's who are telling u to finish have a good concept, but economy is hard now.

Personnaly I just got admission for my masters and I have a job, I am gonna do both together, I cant quit my job. My advice tho.

Your 'friend' isn't blessed with the gift of foresight and long suffering

Bro,my simple advice is dat,it would hv been betterb if you get d job direct from bank Rather than being a common contract staff,being a contract staff two tins are involved,one no career path,two ur job can be terminated by d company dat employed u for the bank,another point being a contract staff u are more or less a slave in ur department and u can be frustrated at any time by a collegue that get the job direct from bank,in a nutshell complete ur msc and pray to god for better offer after or before the completion of ur programm all the best....

He want to abandon a master degree for a fuvking contract bank job? I think he have good reasons for doing the master before.....

[quote author=cheriekiss post=42036998][/quote] i dnt really knw if the bank stress can allow him hence why we ar seeking advice frm experienced ones in d house

hmmm...getting a job this day is not easy! I have a friend who has a masters degree n just got a contract job with a bank!
I was at a job test, I saw a masters degree holder begging to b allowed to write the test but d coordinator said he was surplus to requirement!

its all about choice! I advice you think well and weigh your options!

[quote author=oluwanoni post=42040162][/quote] the programe is full time so even if he skips classes,exams may take 2 weeks ie week days,which bank may nt grant him

[quote author=ykolajide post=42041043][/quote] sincerely, I thank you bro

MrSocrate:

Then he can take his work leave for those days, the exam would be holding, nobody says it would be easy, he would talk to his boss for the exam days off.

OK let me consult my broke a55 neighbor that have Masters plus first class without a job yet.

But contract job? It dsnt worth it

DON'T DO IT!! a contract staff in banks earns between 40 to 75k a month with no other allowances apart from the pay. DON'T DO IT! finish your masters

This is one the problem with rushing out to do MSc immediately after BSc.

Dude ur friend already has a job. Let him finish hin MSc first o.

Contract job is hell, not to talk of bank job and then CONTRACT BANK JOB ?

I laff in italics.

Lemme tell u about contract job..
1. You don't get any benefit
2. Your agency will sip u semi-dry
3. Your ID card color go diff, so everybody go know say u be worker, not staff
4. You nor fit complain, cos kompini nor know say u dey exist.
5. They pay u (s)alawi not salary.

Too bad

I wish conteact job like it is in correct countries.

Let him patiently push for his career.

Weeping may endure as an MSc holder teaching in a school, but his joy will surely come, provided he compriseth not

Hmm! That's a tuff one. I quit my own masters for a business opportunity, and I don't regret it. That is just me sha. Life is all about the money.

Finish ur Prog sir, Contract Job in bank is golden slavery

If you people know the number of M.sc graduates at home without jobs you people would not advice him to ignore the job...what's the guarantee he would get a good job with his masters cert..if I were your friend I would take the job in a heartbeat..nothing beats a job you already have..

Guy don't try it.
Is your master degree a contract? Pls Don't so that you wouldn't regret it later.
