Pure qubbish, must you blog, why not sacrifice two years for a better decades
theEYe21:
Op All your reasons are very irrelevant undecided Overall, statistics suggest that people with master's qualifications are more likely to find work than those with undergraduate degrees – and they're likely to earn a slightly higher wage. Most people do their masters when they're married since it's just 2 years, not 4-5 years, and they can do part-time, no big deal.

Education / 10 Reasons Why You Should NEVER Go For Postgraduate Studies - EDUREGARD by EduRegard: 11:03am On Jun 22, 2016
This is counter to a previous post on 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD GO FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDIES.

It is very saddening to see some people still considering going for a postgraduate study as a merit at this present unsteady economy situation. Apart from those in professional fields like law, I can't see what you stand to gain in wasting two years in a postgraduate school. So as to make my points interesting, I hereby make ten undisputed reasons you should NEVER go for a post graduate study.

1. Your age might exceed the working age.
One of the reasons why you should not consider going for a post graduate degree is age. Here in Nigeria, the maximum age for joining the military is 27 years. Not only that, most employers do see age as one of the optimum for giving out jobs. Since we can't compare the strength of a man of 25 years to that of 40 years, it is glaring that those of younger ages are more considered during job requirements.

2. The types of available jobs.
I once heard about a young graduate seeking employment for the post of a political analyst in a well known radio station. He had both HND degree in Mass Communication and B.SC in Political Science. So as to increase his chances of employment, he put down the two certificates in his curriculum vitae. To his utmost surprise, his employer told him his qualifications outrank the available jobs but if he wouldn't mind, he could remove the B.sc degree from his qualifications and make use of the HND certificate. Looking well into this scenario, I wonder what a master degree holder would have done.

3. It delays marriage.
It is no longer news when adults advise young men and women on the importance of early marriage. The era whereby a man of 60 years still have two children in secondary school has gone. You going to post graduate school will only delay you from getting married at a young age.

4. It takes a very long time.
Firstly, the minimum number of years anyone can use as an undergraduate in Nigeria is four years. After this is another compulsory one year for service. Adding another two years to this will only worsen the matter. Spending over seven years in the university campus is just a waste of your hay time.

5. There is no longer respect for Degrees.
The days when graduates of university are seen as Lords are gone. Instead, they are rather consider as fools. You going far for master degree is just like the lord of the fools. You might want to know why people look down on these gentlemen, it is because they know there is no awaiting job for them. Majority will need to set up a petty business while some will have no option but to learn apprentice so as to make ends meet. In short, degree education is overrated.

6. It is not always easy.
Above average of undergraduates mostly find it difficult to graduate with a good grade. Majority made good their escape out of the undergraduate school. Imagine how hard this is, you thinking of going for a post graduate studies is just like someone who jump from frying pan to fire.

7. The cost of financing.
For every average Nigerian, sponsoring their children's education to university level forces them to live a miserable life. The song that they will pay it back one day even sour their hearts. It will be very unfortunate if after this long hardship, you still believe these innocent parents can still live more of their lives in agony just because you are after a Master degree.

8. It discourage creativity.
There are some things deposited in you that you can't find in school. People call it talents but I call it virtuous. If you can do yourself the good of putting them into use, they are more than capable of buying you a future. Spending another series of your years in post graduate school will kill these great potentials.

9. Your undergraduate degree is enough to make you a genuine.
Which field are you thinking of establishing on? What is wrong with the knowledge you have obtained doing your undergraduate? Have you made good use of them first? Probably you don't know, what you were taught during your undergraduate days is enough to make you a genius.

10. How you use your young age is important.
Considering that you are still young, this is the time to try, fail, and try again, to explore your options and discover work that you enjoy. Some of that energy would certainly serve you well in the energy-draining atmosphere of graduate school, but is that where you want to spend it? You really are only young once.

Do you really want to start down the graduate school track from which it can be so hard to remove yourself? It is quite advisable for you not to play luck on important things like this. Use your good time for something better.

UPDATED ; Based On Previous Nairalanders' Comments On : 10 Reasons Why You Should Go For Postgraduate Studies.

Rubyventures:
You don't really have to go for postgraduate studies it depends on the individual. If you not going to use it for the future and you struggled to pay for your studies then it is not worth it. grin grin grin grin

In Nigerian our problem is that we depend on too much paper qualifications and neglect hands on approach. Is it not shameful that loads of Nigerian accounting graduates do not know simple basic excel skills. I would rather employ someone with basic educational qualification who has loads of experience. Than someone who is a certificate collector.
Taryur3:
Thousands of post graduates people still jobless...the few ones that swallowed thier prides opt to teach in private school and earning 30k...certificates doesn't lead to riches any more please. It only takes the grace of God to succeed.
kikio1992:
I am kinda seen as weird but I know I am right. Your M.A don't make you better in any way. It doesnt increase your job opportunities. And sooner than later its gonna become 'wash' like B.A is becoming.

What I expect is you developing yourself PROFESSIONALLY....and stop being stereotype.

change49gerians:
you still having a miss on all points. Who PG epp? be the best in what you do. name lists of successful Nigerians and tell me who PG helped. you have the mind of a poor child in Africa. who told you PG makes one the best? Many professionals you see around already set a high standard before going for their PG's. Your best is in you. Many of those people you think are different from you are only paper different. They do not have what you have. My people, if you cannot afford a PG you can afford another PG(Personal Goal). Do not ever feel low because someone has a PG and you dont. In the field you may be more advantageous to you company and you may earn higher depending on how you prove yourself worthy. Back in days a n ex-colleague had 2 masters, but I was more efficient and knowledgeable in problem solving. that gave me a recognition. It takes you to succeed not your PG.
My message here is feel confident, feel you are the best and always push yourself to the top.

Education / 5 Educational Lessons You Can Learn From Leicester City Fc's Victory by EduRegard: 3:25pm On Jun 17, 2016
By now, i am sure, all would have heard of the news that Leicester City Football Club have won the English Premier League Cup For the Current Season. Beautiful story, isn’t it? However what can one learn from this? Before we delve into the lesson, let us have a little background knowledge of the team.

Leicester City Football Club, also known as the Foxes, is an English professional football club based in Leicester at the King Power Stadium. They play in the Premier League, having been promoted as champions of the Football League Championship in 2013–14, signalling a return to the top flight of English football after a decade away.

According to attendance stats for the 2013–14 football season, Leicester were rated as having the 3rd best home support, and 4th best away support in the whole of the Football League, before being promoted to the Premier League. Since 2010, the biggest away following was at an FA Cup match against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in 2012. 8,000 travelling Foxes fans went for the match, with the scoreline finishing 0–0. Mostly all of Leicester’s home and away Premier League matches also sell out on a regular basis. Since City moved to their new stadium in 2002 following the exit of Filbert Street, average home gates have never dropped below 20,000, even when they were relegated to League 1 in 2008 for the first time in the club’s history.

Bookmakers at the beginning of the season said the odds of them winning the league was 5000-1. Virtually impossible. Now the lessons:

1. Do not Listen to the ‘Experts’

In every field of endeavor, there are self acclaimed experts, people who love to spew facts, figures and statistics, to show you that something cannot be done. Do not listen to them, do your own research, find out your own figures, make your own mistakes, and if there is even a slim chance you can do it, then go ahead and put in your best. These so-called ‘experts’ are mostly prophets of doom, do not listen to them. They were the same experts that said the chances for Leicester were 5000-1.

2. Never Underestimate Anyone

Jamie Vardy was Leicester City’s star player all season. He was bought from Fleetwood, his former club. Before turning professional, Vardy combined playing non-League football with a job as technician making medical splints. He literally came from the bottom, to becoming the Writers Association Footballer of the Year 2016. So never underestimate anyone, even yourself, just keep working.

3. Be Fearless

Many people would have been successful, if they were less fearful. Fear is normal, but working through it and despite it, is what separates winners. In every match of the season, even against the big names like Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal or even Liverpool, Leicester City remained fearless and today they are getting the rewards. So stay fearless and study and work hard, and you are halfway there.

4. Dreams Do Come True

Claudio Raineri, Leicester City’s coach dreamed of winning the League with his underdog team. Today, Leicester’s story is regarded as the ‘fairy tale win’. Do you have dreams, big ones that seem like fairy tales? Well it is time to start believing they can come true, so put your back in to it. Work and work, till those dreams come true.

5. Hard Work

Despite all the points, listed above, one common theme throughout the Leicester City campaign is hard work. So you can have everything but you have to be willing to put in hard work to get to the top. The club battled all season, match after match, game after game. Win or lose, injury or not, they kept pushing and that is all that is required of every student today.

Education / How Education & School Is Killing Our Natural Creativity by EduRegard: 2:41pm On May 24, 2016
Is it a coincidence that pretty much all children,teenagers and youths love to write stories, have fantastic imaginations, enjoy getting messy, painting, making music, inventing characters, acting out plays, drawing and making things? Why don’t we carry this natural capacity throughout adulthood? Why would nature intend us to lose these gifts?

The global creativity gap in five of the world’s largest economies, with the look of things shows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of respondents feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority – only 1 in 4 people – believe they are living up to their own creative potential. More than half of those checked feel that creativity is being stifled by their education systems, and many believe creativity is taken for granted .

Particularly in Nigeria for instance,all our parents know is education, only 20% of our parents check out our talent and encourage us to develop it.That discourages lots of children and even teenagers.
Using myself as a perfect example,i would say i love acting and want to develop it later in life but all i get from my parents is ” theatre artiste are all bad and most of them not make it like ,doctors,lawyers and the likes”. Seriously an average teenager would lost or rather throw away that dream.

With reference, I’d say,most Nigerian artiste,actors,dancers,musicians started at the early stage of their lives,e.g;Emmanuella [the young commedian],Ada [the little girl who dances],et ce teria.

Of course these talents cant rub off on the sands of time,it has come to an extent where they make good influence and encouragement and even challenge to youths,teenagers and children

But on the part of education what do we get; politicians with evil intentions,unemployed citizens turning thugs due to discouragement on the part of their talents.
For some of the more creative kids,teenagers and youths, their creativity will help them survive their standardized school years. For others, this standardization crushes their passions, spirits, joy. I believe the biggest ethical travesty of our times is extinguishing a child’s passion.
