good day nairalanders,

am a young man of 26, currently i secured a job with a top tier bank

although banking hasn’t been my thing but considering the level of unemployment and difficulties in securing a well paying job in this country, i was left with no other choice

I am passionate about career growth, I will be rounding up my ICAN in few months and I really want to do more for myself.

The intention is to get a masters degree alongside by enrolling as soon as I can,

My question and fear now is, what are my chances of combining a Masters Degree with a 9-5 job?

There’s nothing creative in banking, career growth in it could be static if the person isn’t careful
please give me a piece of your advice

Thanks you 🙏

Quit either of the two.

thanks for your feedback, really appreciate

Isn't masters a part-time programme ?


What does your typical working day like ?

Personally, I'd say you can do it. I equally work in a bank and started my masters early last year with ABUDLC.
I'm already in my fourth semester to round up by September. It's a distance learning so classes are online with physical exams.
During exams, I take few days leave to prepare (I write weekends). So, the only issues I've encountered so far are meeting deadlines for assignment and quiz submissions, and preparing for my exams.
But I believe if you put your mind to it, you can do it. There are a lot of bankers running such programs.
