Help! What Can I Do Abroad With This Degree? by Albertone(m): 9:32pm On Nov 28
So I’m a final year student of Business Administration looking to migrate after graduation(through study route). I have been told that that degree makes me a glorified clerk abroad.

I laid my hands on tech(web development). The saturation and absence of entry level roles threw me off. Also, I don’t enjoy it, I went into it because I heard it’s lucrative.
I regret not studying a STEM course, but there’s no need crying over spilt milk.

So far, I’m considering a career in Audit, management consulting, and investment banking.
I need ideas on what step to take next and which countries I should look towards please.

BRO, JUST JAPA!

Be rest assured that within short period of time, you will definitely know what to do when you get there.

though, the first few months might be very difficult but you will overcome.


TPain has nothing to offer you here.

Come first. Find small work take hold body. Then you can do an MBA. By then you have learned the people and the culture and can move into management role in most organizations.
Depending on how you take enter sha.
But if you are legal, even with janitor job, security job or care staff , you could still juggle it with MBA program

If I had known what I know now, I would have gotten a lot further than I do now. Nonetheless, I am pleased with my success.

What we study does not matter. Just get any degree, and you can navigate your way through. The only advantage we have is that we know what is currently trending, and even if we do not study it in school, we can easily learn it. Why? Your first step should be to find a job and earn a small income in your 20s after leaving school. Become an expert in what is popular and make a living from it.

With your savings, you should do what rich men do to increase their wealth, which includes:

1. Start a business. Look for disruptive technology and innovation to solve the problems that the majority of people face, and you will make money. You may start a business and find yourself in the same league as salary earners, which is something you want to avoid. This is why you must be prepared before starting a business. And you prepare by first gaining experience earning money elsewhere and learning business management.

2. Invest in both paper and digital assets. Learn to trade or find an expert who can do it for you. Forex, futures, stocks, crypto, etc. There are three types of trading strategies: day trading, short term trading, and long term. Most people enter long term when they are unable to read charts well. Therefore, you should look into stocks and crypto. The issue is that S&P 500 and it's like generates around 18% turn over presently annually, while digital assets give like 150% ....but it is a double edged sword. You must understand the difference between gambling and investment. This is one area all rich men go into. Elon is currently working on making the doge currency stronger. Hmm. This should teach you something about digital assets.

3. Real estate: This area is very technical because there is not as much money as there used to be, but if you understand it, you will make a lot of money. The annual rental strategy is a nonsense business. I can not believe Nigerians are still building to collect annual rent. Lol...when monthly rent is no longer satisfactory in most places. The new deal involves short-term leases. It is a lucrative business. Or you get some money, buy a house, and then resell it after remodeling it to maximize your profit.

These are the three areas you should focus on. If you do not do any of the above, you will not be rich. You van be comfortable. As a result, if you have not yet begun, your first task is to become an expert in a trending business area and sell your products or services for a fee....or you use your knowledge to find a job and earn a reasonable salary.

If you can not find a good source of income, you will be stuck for a long time, believing witches and wizards are after you. Then you will have to urgently consider relocation, which is why you should seriously consider JAPA. Of course, starting with a security job, UBER driving, or any other casual job is a good way to get started. Then you can start improving and increasing your wealth from there.

Again, look into a way to make 1 instead of the 0 you are currently making. You can multiply one.

Good luck to everyone.

We are living in a world where degrees are increasingly becoming useless in the marketplace talk less generic unspecialized degrees like business or poor quality degrees like most Nigerian degrees.

What you need in the world are specialized certifications.

Someone without a degree but certification in programming, computer networking, nursing, project management, plumbing, etc is almost certain to have a better career than a graduate in degrees like business especially in the western world.

We are getting to a stage that medicine is probably the only degree that guarantees you a job and portability meaning you can move anywhere you want.

Get into a globally recognised firm in professional services and/or financial services. Get the experience (at least three years). Get relevant and recognised certifications such as ACCA, CAIA, CFA etc. Actuarial certifications are also helpful. Apply to be transferred to an office in the abroad. This would take time. So five years minimum. If internal transfer isn't possible, apply to MBA programs that are good but aren't too expensive. For instance, in the UK, apply to Imperial College MBA not Cambridge or London Business School unless you get enough money or the brains to win a scholarship. In the US, target MBA programs in the Texas area - many Nigerians, lots of good schools and abundant scholarships. Make sure the MBA program is STEM approved so you benefit from the three years OPT program.

Alternatively, with your globally recognised certifications, apply to jobs in the UAE and South Africa. With a UAE or South African experience, you become further eligible for roles in the Western World and East Asia.

There are Nairalanders who have done what I outlined here. Good luck!

Amasss Professional degrees when you reach Obodo Oyinbo!!!

Try Project management courses and others like data analysis, etc…
In UK we have companies that would help you attain these professional courses for btw £500-£1000 per course and they will also build your CV and send to prospective companies…

The issue is the route will take you 10 years before ILR

So na care worker sure pass for newbie like you
