its a shame that people go for masters and phd for a job, your ability to secure a job is based primarily on the ability to add value by proffering solutions to society's problems. masters should be a cap to ones achievement in life not a meal ticket, or venture embarked upon because of joblessness. 1 Like |

Everyone you know works in their time zone. Everyone is runing their race in their on time. You r not too late or to early. You on time. Some get their degrees at the age of 22. Some go bck to college at d age of 30. Some got job right after they graduate. While some have to wait for years before finding a truly satisfying job. Some became CEO at 28 and got burnt out much sonner. While some start there company in their late 50s and went to change the world. Some tire at 60 while some jst getting start at 60. When you look around, you might think some people r ahead of you and some behind you. But trust me every one is running their race in their own time. So don't Envy someone who's successful or don't mock someone who hasn't won yet. Becoa dey r in their time zone jst like you r in yours. You are not too late or to early. You r on time and definety in ur time soon. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

@ onlyme07.if this were to be an examination, you would have failed woefully..the OP made a very smart discover nd hence sends a warning to his readers. a fact he made out of reality..in his write up,he compared job chances with masters nd introduced a restraints called "age factor" nd beautifully explained his restraints..but you jumped in with your so mny thoughtful idea.. nd countered him without making a sense of his comparison. instead u dealt with the variables; job opportunities as it relates bsc nd masters without a mention of his main subject " age factor" nd then you got an instant 24 likes...if I were you lecturer..u wld score a big 5 over 60 marks in ur final graduating exams... 5 Likes |

onlyme07:this is pure BS! Whoever told you that graduating from UI, UNILAG AFE or any of these southwestern schools is an automatic to ticket to employment obviously does not know what he is talking about. No serious HR is going to choose 2.2 from UNILAG over a 2.1 from another university outside of the ones you listed, that's pure hear-say. The best thing is to graduate with a 2.1 at a very young age, at least between 21 and 24.....you are a hotcake from any University. Companies don't necessarily care if you graduated from UNILAG or UI, I don't see how that matters, they are all I Nigeria and don't necessarily have any exceptional qualities that other Universities do not have. Na people wey Comot from foreign schools wey dey Europe and America go fit make such claims abeg. I graduated at around 24 and 25 from FUTO, I never had to roam the streets of Lagos looking for a job, I have always been working even while in school. My Industrial attachment was an opportunity to gain experience and get some connections with people who will later be useful to me after graduation. I have worked in two places since I graduated and I am still working, if you know your value and where you want to create a niche for yourself career wise, you won't be talking about not being taken because you are from so so and so University, that's bullshit talk, I don't know where they do that I'm Nigeria. I have worked in Engineering, have a lot of friends in Banking and Finance, I am currently with an IT firm, I have never heard that people are being selected based on the University they attended, I know of the University - polytechnic discrimination especially amongst banks but this new story of selected school is pure bullshit. 4 Likes |

If we believe we owe our existence to God, that he put us wherever we find ourselves and that he will always use whatever circumstance we encounter for our good, we will worry less about things beyond our control and learn to flow with the tide of life. What we need everyday of our lives is in knowing where God wants to take us. There is nothing like at a certain age I can't fulfill my dream with God. He uses the foolish things of this world to confound those who think they are wise. God doesn't operate in the realm of human possibilities, if man is capable of doing it, there is no need for God to intervene. Anyone that think God is pushing him for a masters should forge ahead and leave the rest to God. 7 Likes 1 Share |

sexdoll: Very well said. B.sc ,M.sc and PhD gotten from Nigeria universities are all useless. An average graduate college diploma of mechanical engineer at one of the colleges in North America can practically tutor his Nigerian counterpart with M.sc holder in same field of study. In the advanced world is skills over paper qualifications, but in this country is all about acquiring certificates with aim of getting office job, and with no technical know how. We really have a long way to go in this country. 2 Likes |

I don't know why Nigerians hype certificate so much. when people with no certificate are doing exploit. I had no degree yet I worked with 3 companies with my IT certification. got the jobs on merit. Dana group is one. am on my own doing great. I know a couple of guys who had no formal education yet doing great in their respective fields. while someone is chasing master degree for no just cause. 4 Likes |

I agree with the OP Some people do masters that will be worthless to their career progression Someone studies biochemistry for instance, graduates, serves, and goes back to do M.sc in Chemistry or whatever Now , normally the person is supposed to work as a medical sales rep, chemist or similarly inclined profession But no! the person starts applying for jobs at oil companies, banks, etc What does your M.s bring to the company table? how does it help realize the company goals and objectives Its more advisable to start working immediately after school/nysc( as available), then monitor your career progression to see how best to advance. If you are employed as a secretary as a graduate of microbiology, you know that if you work hard, there is a change that you get promoted to HR, Finance, Procurement, Operations etc. Most internal promotions are as a result of hard work and commitment , not necessarily school papers. You can switch totally to business/finance by doing a P.G then masters or Ican/PMP in a field that aligns with your career. MBA is even better in my opinion than a visionless masters People keep bringing masters that are not useful to organizations and still get shocked whn someone with 3rd class B.sc and experience is picked over them. Before you spend your money on masters that wont reward you, please speak with people that have been in your target organization to determine the best next step for you. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

why do you go to school? To get a good certificate and have a good job. OK me I don't want a good job, I create good jobs, am 21 years old, I pay 3 persons err month. what am I trying to say, if you are comfortable working under any organization then you must go to school and acquire a lot of certificate but if you want to be rich and happy, don't go to school. 3 Likes |

Hello, There is really nothing wrong with the Op's submission. The real problem here is that the country is simply a shit hole where people struggle to survive. However, there is nothing wrong with pursuing a second degree, people should change their orientation towards masters degree especially when you are above 26+ before rounding up with 1st degree. Finally, if you have the means of getting sponsored for M.sc. don't joke with it. You might need it somewhere in the nearest future. 1 Like |

I think some have missed, the main thing in life is to proffer solutions to problems pertaining to our immediate environment and country at large and to become consistently relevant going for masters doesn't guarantee a dream job ,brings money and absolute relevance in summary the master issue is just like considering the Nigerian entertainment scene releasing single and hit give you more money,shows,endorsement and makes you more relevant in the music scene while albums just add feather to your cap. I think the formal is more Paramount, so also masters merely add a feather to our cap but providing solutions to problems brings money and make us relevant my two cent |

I dont think people go to school because of job, and if not so then they fail woefully. Reasons of being educated is to widen up your horizon of seeing,creativeness and so on. I m currently a 300l Mechatronics and systemz Engineering but never excepting govt job, rather offer the govt a job, cogitate over becoming a graduate. 1 Like |

Tufiakwa! Is it not the same lecturing job that our lecturers use to tell us about that they are not rich, only comfortable? So someone will now join the bandwagon of those that are proud to have I better pass my neighbor gen and one second or third hand Toyota to intimidate students? Let's say the truth, have you ever come across a rich lecturer in today's economy without being dubious about it? Better invest your money in something worthwhile and stop deceiving yourself with some claims about master's degree. Master's my foot! 3 Likes |

I no dey even calculate am .I cant even find my certificates. I guess rats have eaten it. I know lots of msc holders at home doing nothing or doing skilled jobs. Who msc epp?? Better shine your eyes people. If you have a job its 100 percent better than msc. Keep it, save and survive before you find yourself core broke. Let the country fix itself before you fix yourself.

Now you can see for yourself that the so called progress is actually a huge and regrettable set back! |
