I'm still on it. I'm seriously searching for a job at the moment

robosky02:
First degree never give


You want masters abi you won overthrow the MD before you even get the job

Ayebaeapretai:
Well i have two masters and these days i dont understand why i went for them.

Goke101:
Yes but In Nigeria you will have to wait for almost three years to see a job

Calabar1stSon:
Common sense you no get, how could have two masters degree, I mean not just one but two

First master degree no give you work, then you proceed to another master degree and no work still, you come proceed go do your PhD still no work? Why did you not use the money for business? Guy go and burn those degrees.

Well, the money for the degrees weren't yours actually that's the reason for this recklessness

fergie001:

Hahahahaha......I lost one job like that!

My friend didn't inform me to strike off my MSc at the time.....ITK, I run go put am.....Mine was the first to be struck off, and I was in pole position for it.

These days I put BE, I don't even add grade sef unless otherwise stated.

Since growing up I have always been accustomed to the idea of double up my degree.
Not like it's a bad thing but what purpose does it serve to run a Masters or PhD program in the long run.

My Dad is always telling me to do one program here and there. It gets tiring honestly as I don't consider myself an academic per se and I would only put in effort when I see something is absolutely necessary.

A cousin of mine once went to the UK for her masters, previously working at a brewery. She told me that going for this program would guarantee her an upgrade in department level

Has anyone here gotten any similar experiences, share your story or those you know of. Were you ever selected for a job based on that or a promotion?

ijaw1stson:
It doesn't. At least in Nigeria. I have 2 masters degrees. However, I proceeded to do my PhD as I couldn't get a job.

NigPatriot:
A master's degree is very significant. Especially in cases, where the student didn't do so well at the undergraduate level. A master's provides a boost. Big companies like Mobil, Nnpc etc don't normally send invites to 2.2 and below. But they concede if you have a 2.2 plus a master's (with distinction).
Also, in more recent times, BSc has become as popular as leaving school certificate, hence the need to step up your qualifications which will ultimately give you the edge. Don't listen to people saying, MSc is a waste of time. Trust me it's just one year sometimes 18months, but the certificate stays with you for life. Think about it. If you want to lecture, it's almost a must you have one too.
Without further ado, if you have the chance to up your qualifications, please do.

mikezuruki:


You have zero ounce of sense. Why didn’t you just focus on the subject? Must you come here to exhibit how poorly you were brought up? Nonsense.
Why do you have to insult him? You’re a bitter person. And I believe jobless too.

Going to school is important but doesn't guarantee you getting a job

CrazyMan:

Stop searching...as a PhD holder you're automatically more qualified than most CEOs HRM, MD... etc. So in reality no employer would hire someone whose more qualified than him.

I'll suggest you try lecturing job, your double Msc along with a PhD in view should boost your chances.

Good luck.
