Everyone no matter how successful they are always feel bad not acquiring a degree especially if they had the opportunity previously. Deep down not acquiring a certificate still haunts your friend. Why do you think most of them do go back to school either for even certificate courses after they are rich.
most of them talk about how well they don't need the certificate once they are successful but deep down it is a subject of pain and regret that they just have to say so as to quench and suppress the regret.

Sometimes I feel I made a serious mistake going to the tertiary institution.
I had my OND degree about 8 years ago after several months of job searching I realised I couldn't get a job with it and the OND is just as useless as ssce I decided to get a better degree I wrote jamb I got admitted to the university 5 years ago to study engineering.
Now in a few months to my graduation (if ASUU call off the strike) I feel I made a great mistake going back to school.
I feel all the efforts, time and money is be wasted.
I feel going back to school was a mirage cus after school will I still go back to the street as usual.
Do you ever regret going to school?

christejames:



It's obvious the school you graduated from or about to graduate from didn't pass through you as you did the school...

If it did you won't be reasoning this way.

Show me the person in top 10 richest who didn't pass through education - some attended the best schools in their country just to get education and drop out when they did while others graduated - one thing is clear however, they attained education!

Don't fall for the popular ongoing "education na scam" narrative. It is famous for two reasons:
1. The educated ones don't want you educated. They prefer to enjoy whatever prestige it brings alone, alongside their kins. They're glad you continue to look up to them in some ways.

On a deeper note, dear people, please listen.

Do! Not! Be! Ever! Deceived!
Education is not and can never be a scam!

Being helped with miracle centres, and helped with admission, and graduating with lower, 3rd class, pass etc is not education and is barely ever going to fix you anywhere in another person's business! I mean even you will not employ yourself with this kind of result!

If as an adult you still think the only point to schooling is just so you can get a job, all your education is a waste. Knowledge is a tool and not an end in itself, only a bad workman quarrels with his tools. Whoever told you your degree certificate is an automatic ticket to the good life?? If you like dropout in your final year, wetin concern NL, na only you go regret am later!

Yoighaman:
@OP

If you think going back to school is expensive or a waste of time, you should have tried ignorance.

Don't let anyone deceive you, education is one of the best and most expensive gift you can give to yourself.

Like I'd always say; it is better to have a certificate you don't need, than to need a certificate you don't have.

Complete your education and go out there in faith. God will sort you out.

Have you carried out a research? I haven't. But my colleagues in my year of call to bar are mostly doing well. At least a few are in executive management teams of their companies, including banks, some are doing very well in practise, at least 4 are in the election teams representing different contestants, all of them are SANS, we have 2 judges from our stable, a number relocated , etc. They all studied law. Fact is most of you don't even know what lawyers do and how far their reach can be in the employment market. Ya'll think all lawyers must don wig and gown and go to court. Some of those guys are going through pupillage to learn the basics before they explode. Bring your research based figures and let us discuss, else please do not engage with me any further. Your present minister, Fashola is a lawyer, as an instance.

Formal Education is never a waste... You can get away with some privileges in this country on the basis of having Bsc alone

Sure. But if you go and use 3 million naira and study sociology instead of using it to find something doing in Nigeria, then you need your head examined.

ukaface:
My uncle a verrrrrrry riiiiiiich man, had to go back to the uni to get degree some years back and my mum was asking him what the essence of the degree was, me too sef no go bother if I were in his shoes. He replied ‘ if they are calling people that went to university to raise up hand, I will be among them’ you may not see the importance now because of the situation of Nigeria, but then it’s like an added prospect for you.
You saw the reason to go back to the uni after your OND let that reason keep motivating, after school you might end up being considered for a seat in an office just cos of your certificate. Make person just Dey pray for grace.
