Hello Luapa1990,

Congratulations! You have two offers on your table. Problem is making a choice, a problem most Nigerians will like.

However, as any problem, it requires a solution. A part-time lecturing job in a state owned polytechnic & a banking job. Question is: What are your career plans? Does the part-time job align with them assuming you intend becoming an academic? You mentioned the banking job as a full-time job. What level? Let's assume it is middle level, what bank? Remuneration wise, a middle-level pay in a bank is more than that of a STATE OWNED polytechnic and it is professionally better than a PART-TIME job.

Yes, the banking industry is a volatile one, but so is your PART-TIME lecturing role. However, unlike the lecturing role, you get more tasks; training; exposure; better remuneration; a good brand and profile on your CV (for future exploits); more & better perquisites; knowledge etc. We doubt a PART-TIME role in a STATE OWNED polytechnic will afford you those benefits.

Furthermore, with your experience in the banking industry (assuming you stay for three years), you can move into the academic sector at a higher position than if you try the opposite. Additionally, assuming your first degree is different from the discipline you intend lecturing in your PART-TIME role, you can switch to a discipline with a background in the banking industry due to your experience.

Finally, it is your prerogative to choose an offer. But remember, you have a FULL-TIME role in the banking industry vs a PART-TIME position in a STATE-OWNED polytechnic.

We wish you the very best in your decision making.
