Take anything you can from this piece:-

When you start using words as 'better' to differentiate two different fields which solves two different problems, it's the first sign that you're approaching with an undesirable mentality.

Considering the topic of discussion and your questions, I think you're about to take a very important decision that will shape your future somewhat from here on. So, it's naturally that you're seeking for advice here.

When I was deciding to learn an IT skill, I literally spent more than a week doing my research and studying up to get a solid "overview".

I read articles on medium specifically. Medium is like the IT world playground. Read articles upon articles. I came across a 108 minutes-long articles on everything IT. It was the longest article I've ever seen written. ALL this I did before STARTING the journey proper.

I went through all those trouble because the last thing you'd want to do is second guess your decision to learn to code or do data science. You may end up spending more than a year without learning anything because your head and heart is not in the right place initially.

It may take you years to grasp any of the path you're contemplating. So take a few days to read ALL WHAT you can about data science and web development, independent of each other.

So don't start asking Google which is BETTER. Instead, ask what is web development and what is data science.

Whether you neglect or do both, focus on asking the right questions first. Don't take shortcuts when you're doing something like a 'feasibility study'.

Since I started on the programming pathway, I've only face what we call the 'imposter syndrome'. But I've never had self-doubt as to whether I made the right decision or not. And you can only give yourself that level of self-assurance when you know the PROS and CONS of what you're into.

Good luck

What is imposter syndrome?

And have you started making money or still learning ??

very soon all this programming stuff will be over saturated
no be naija again ?

Did int'l relations in uni after graduation no job,I sent out application letters to every known major organization still yet no job.

Alot of people came with the idea that I should learn a trade and create job for myself,I put on my thinking cap but still yet I couldn't figure out what biz or trade I could venture into because of no capital.

Man cannot go and kill himself,I just jejely look for one hp system,bought Airtel WiFi,got a solar system that can power my laptops 24/7 and then start my bombing hustle and I have never for once regretted this decision because I now earn more money than the average bank manager.Even my colleagues criticizing me back then are the ones pleading now to learn from me.

chairman how did u do it with just system and modem

justbonny:
Haaaa.... Labour market?
Hmmmmmmmmm

I suffer ehn.... But God took glory at last. It wasn't easy. I didn't know anyone in Port Harcourt, but God has answered me a whole lot.

Same thing I'm passing through I'm Abuja, but we keep grinding believing that one day, our time will come. While we are still waiting,we keep on learning more so that once the opportunity comes, we won't look foolish.
How PH nah? It's been long oooo

Currently in my finals studying engineering, m into computer networking, have some certifications already but gathering money to take ccnp(i have my tutor as connect, he is a consultant and ready to assist me after graduation getting a job on this line)... Currently teaching 2hrs daily and earning 60k monthly, hoping to double this income by next month tho since m getting more link up to teach.... I believe which ever part you choose just be the best at it, when i started teaching b4 lockdown I was paid jst 5h per hours, I didn't mind jst wanted to impact knowledge but that service have opened doors for, my prayer is for university not to resume, because there is money in teaching if you are very sound... God help us all, reading comments here make graduation dey tire me, but i believe God... Work like you have not prayed and pray as tho you will never work

Let me know if you are interested. I'm also going to be there to answer your questions, I have three people learning with my videos and they are doing so well.
I'm a practicing software developer with a degree in computer science btw

winkmart:
Well, It is exactly 10 years this year and I must say the journey has not been that easy. I never sought for employment though. I had been running business: Recharge Card in Bulk before it went South after some robbery incident.

I got some few connections with Baba Obasanjo, so I worked at OOPL for 2 years from 2015-2017. But that life was not what I was designed for. I resigned and went back to the drawing board.

Presently I freelance and I think I have made in 3 years what I was only able to gather in 7 years.

My ADVISE:
Enterpreneurship is not for everyone and office is not for everyone. Understand your calling and follow it. But I think it is okay to gather experience working with a corporate firm for 5-10 years before launching your own business full time.

Note:
It is foolish working at a Job without having a side business for passive income

the last line is everything.

Bombing hustle?

The ones who have jobs are not on Nairaland. It's not hard to explain.

[quote author=solutionh post=93712308]I did poultry business that's egg production for the first year after my nysc from the money I saved during my service year,then most of my friends do insult me that I smell like fowl shit.then I do sale eggs,mine wasn't enough for customer's so I do buy from other farm's in village's to supplement mine,I did this for like a year and some months,when my birds stopped giving me maximum amount of eggs u started looking for a buyer as God may have it,as I was passing by I met a man (Ugo from okija) carrying a truck load of old layers(fowl)when I stopped him to enquire weda he deals on birds,he affirmed he does so I told him I have birds to sale and at good rate,he told me that he just brought birds from ibadan that he can't buy more for the week,I insisted that I can (the birds were consuming more feeds without laying egg)Wow this is so impressive, i'm about to start up a small mini poultry(broiler), please bro can i have your number so you could guide me? thanks!

Offpoint:
10 years after graduating and you can't find any problems on earth to solve with knowledge you acquired, then I'm afraid to say you're waste or you've wasted your time and resources.

Didn't even go to school, I read books upon books and find out to be rich you need to provide solutions to people problems.

I look around me, there was no problem... So I created one.
As sharp Yoruba guy, I enter Yankee begin dey knack oyibo "Ata" (pepper) for my neighbourhood and still cure them.. Naso I take hammer.

People wey create virus na dem create anti-virus.

All these sickness wey full world now, wey dem lie to una sey na from animals... Na people create them to take cash out.
Every sickness get permanent cure, but if them make permanent cure Na bad business for dem pharmaceutical companies, scientists and researchers... So dem give una temporal cure. Permanent cure means NO CASH OUT, temporal cure means STEADY CASH OUT.

To make money for this life na brain, nobi degree.

U even get money WA u carry enter yankee?

I'm 17, an undergraduate,200lvl to be precise and I have no skill whatsoever, please what skill will you advise me to learn.
Naija hard abeg

It depends on where your interest lies..
There are skills that I call survival skills like barging and driving which u can use to survive anywhere you find yourself.
Mechanic
Plumbing
Anything related to IT.
my two cent though.. I still de find my own.

Prodigee:
Most graduates these days are just managing to survive if we want to tell ourselves the truth.

You can't learn a skill with an empty stomach.. Daily income first before any other thing.

Emuf:
Graduated as a Mech Eng. Completed NYSC in 2011

Moved into Project Planning - no wrenches and ratchets - just laptop
Then moved to Proj. Mgt.
God has been faithful.

I have interest in project management. Have done some couple of little projects, how do I keep improving myself before the big break comes?

Thanks

This is nice.

4 years after, no job

This thread will blow up like tissue paper own.

I studied Science laboratory Technology (OND) graduate in 2014. I learnt blogging in 2018 and currently learning email copywriting. I have a blog though not earning from it (in my signature). I learnt text animations. I'm open to self development and I currently want to learn cybersecurity from Coursera but no funds. I'm willing to learn new things.

You are missing something. Somebody who is a senior federal worker earning 6 digit salary every month with other allowances with job security is out of the labour market.

Lecturing job in this country with 6 digits?? Which institution
