Am in a depressed state and am so ashamed of myself. Currently schooling in a federal university studying computer sci. Seriously I feel really bad to have wasted 5 years without achieving nothing or a degree. Even spill over still wouldn't do no good cause I don't want a 3rd class degree or every worst. Can't take the risk again.[ insult is free i deserve it]

instead of graduating with a shitty degree am thinking of starting all over again from 100lvl to study computer science or anything related in a federal university. 4 years Max

Right now i feel like an abomination and a disgrace to my family. Have tried visiting the HOD's in my school unfortunately, I was informed students from the same school can't switch to same school [Different department] i dont know why i think it's best known to them.

Mind you am in my mid 20s with no achievement or any money making skills.

I have interest in mastering programming or becoming a tech savvy guy or a security expert but i can't. aside the coding aspect physiologically am not balance. Secondly, am limited.. Am very ambitious i need help and opportunities. Am tried of fighting alone/ holding back its eating me up silently... I only smile or engage myself in a social gathering to cover up my pain.

Even if am to start all over again I'll prefer a university that offer a 4 years course I don't know which Federal university one can study comp sci within 4 years.

Please I need advice and help The truth is school is frustrating and tiring.. I need a degree my battle can't be in vain.

I know someone would have pass through my line of sorrow or even worst. Your suggestions, opportunities and help will revive me back...

What you should do is first finish this one present and then enrolle for 2nd degree program

Bro I think you can take your time out from school. work, learn a skill , fall and rise again outside the school walls, it will help your mindset then go back to school if you still wish to. You will do so much different from your former, cause you have seen the difference n you will know how to steer ur life beta. Or you might not even want to go back to school, If your new skill synch with ur passion.
Note: ur degree does not sum up who you really are. Real success is Neva achieved in school

Much better as long as you go in with full dedication.

Your experience should help.

Some would discourage you but I can tell you that 5 years is really nothing in the grand scheme of things.

My man, a bird in hand is better than 9 in forest, since you are almost done with the first degree try and grab the certificate irrespective of the grade.

With third class you can apply for a one year PGD after which you can do your master's degree to solidify your certification, or better still, you can go for a second degree after the first degree.

Don't waste the certificate you struggled for 5 years because of third class which can take you to high places.
Besides, some that graduated with first class haven't gotten good paying jobs, try and acquire some skills, develop your entrepreneaurial skill and the sky will be your limit.

I can tell that you had a very bad foundation educationally, pre-university and it has shown in coming to the fore now.
I can tell you struggled with your core subjects , and even tho’ you have the desire to do I.T, you don’t have a solid background in science subjects.

You missed it the moment you went for “special center” instead of addressing your deficiencies before entering the university.
(Please correct me if any of my submissions are wrong)

I however feel there is a way out . Go for a “less demanding “ course that’s not necessarily science related, start well( sound 100 l results) and continue with zeal until your final year.

When you’re out of uni, pick an area of I.t you’re interested in, and that matches your areas of strength, look for good computer schools and start learning at your own pace. This way, you’re not burdened with the extraneous courses you would’ve done in the university, for which you really were not prepared for .BUT , from here on , it has to be certifications , certifications , certifications .

A number of excellent programmers didn’t study computer science in school, though most were already Science inclined

On the flip side , a university degree doesn’t buy you success in today’s world. A combination of hard work , being smart and highly opportunistic does.
As one of the posters above suggested, you can go learn a technical skill of your choice and continue to hone it, till it becomes marketable.

Now isn’t the time for self pity and self loathing , if things aren’t working out for you, go and work things out. Good a thing you’re still in your 20’s .

op listen to this advice keenly. you will look back and smile soon. the deed is done. what you need is to move on and plan ahead. tell your parent or any member of the family on time about the issue.

It's not an easy place you are currently in right now. Here s my advice: Finish the one you are currently doing, at worst you could come out with a 3rd class. Then after NYSC service, come back to do a Post Graduate Studies to upgrade your grade and while you are doing all this you can also take IT courses to upgrade your tech skills

Am interested in the sites please

Www.cybrary.com....ccna preparation as well as some other security courses are free. Just search for free courses.

https://developer.ibm.com/africa/ everything is free here. They are trying to develop Africa on emerging technologies. From artificial intelligence to coding, to data science, storage, iot , you name it.

Www.edx.com
Www.coursera.com ( just google coursera, not sure if it is .com or dot org).

There is another one I just forgot, they train for as low as 10$ during their promos.

When you are done and you have the right skills, submit your CV at
Www.vanhack.com and attend interviews and get hired. You will start smelling foreign currency.

Remember to come back and sow your first fruit offering to me. grin

Blabbermouth:

"I want you to go to a university so that u can get your degree, but more important, I want you to return with an education"
1. Do u want to fulfill your dream on being a first class computer science graduate? then re-write Jamb and waste 4 more years.
2. Your family don't give 2 Bleep wateva u study, as long as u use it to succeed.
Even if its a fourth class degree , if u have what a company needs they will worship you. The world is digital, research on "Coursera", they operate an online school kind of thing. In about 6 months, u would master what a lot of ignorant students used 4-5 yrs of their life to study its useless theoretical aspect. Even better, they would award u a worldwide recognized degree far better than this your shitty university degree. The Icing on this online school is , you can maneuver your ways and learn for free!!!


I know coursera there important courses are mostly paid. Even computer science is paid..

The mistake you're making is that you feel your degree or your result will dictate your future. It need not.

If there are people who didn't go to school are doing well, why not you?

I'm glad you came here to seek advice. The Bible says in the multitude of counsellors, there is accomplishment.

Why don't you add a skill like Oracle to compliment your computer science degree? You can learn how to design landing pages and advertise on Fiverr.com. You can make over $1,000 monthly from it if your price is cheap.

You can also go for Masters. Added to your degree, it can take you pkaces



Am on fiverr haven't earned much duo. This Oracle courses you talk of how do I go about it?
