Hello guys,

Please I need some advise. I just got an offer to run my Masters in one of the Top 3 Ivy League schools in the United States. The admission offer comes with a scholarship and a loan offer to cover the difference, including living costs, books and Accomodation.

On the other hand, I got a decent full time offer in a Tier one commercial bank in Nigeria.
If I accept the offer, I will have to pay about 2 million naira if I leave them before two years.
This comes with a compulsory Car...payable over the next 5years at 0% interest rate.

I’m in a fix because of the anti-immigration sentiments prevalent in the States at this time, I’m therefore unsure about my chances of securing a job thereafter if I decide to go for my masters.
I am afraid of concluding my masters, bagging student loans and then being unable to get a job, and so having to come back to Nigeria and begin from scratch.

Please any good advise is welcome, especially from folk with viable experience.
MODs please help move this to FP to help me make a decision. Thank you!

Forget that bank offer and go for your masters.

Bank wey fit close before you finish your masters.

If it is a Matters in an IVY league school, I would suggest you follow up with it. The exposure and the returns will be worth it.

Lol, you're considering Access bank over an Ivy league masters degree. Do not make that mistake.

Better go for the ivy league. That degree is not worth skipping. The connections and the knowledge you would acquire would accelerate you to positions you would never imagine you can attain. No even allow village people win this one o.

Accept the school's offer and if the immigration policy gets tough, use the ivy league degree and get a job outside the US (Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore etc). That alone shows you the power of an ivy league degree [either Harvard, Columbia or Wharton-Penn (assuming it's a finance course)].

Great points!
