Dear members, where are we heading to sef? I asked this simply because of the penchant of many of us for higher degrees when the lower degrees are yet to be utilised. Do we really gain expertise from these degrees or just to boost ego?

Scholarship abroad maybe a way to get out of Nigeria, fine. I support.

Especially in Nigeria, the urge for masters degree, in most cases is to earn a certificate, not necessarily to learn. And education is about learning.

Will employers not be asking for a PhD when masters become like pure water just to distinguish oneself? Study upon study. False superiority. Is this not temtaption into the nest of Slavery?

Upon all, most job offers available pay peanuts. You start hoping that good jobs are coming. You are asked to pay for slots to get the job. Is it not better to be selling food by the road side?

If you get a scholarship to study abroad in order to escape the conditions here, fine. For majority of courses, I think it is best to stop at Bsc level and invest more in field experience and self study. Education can continue through self study.
Not because of lack of mental strength to pursue higher degrees but to leave a statement that your Bsc alone is enough to make you great; yes, really great.
