If you have the financial wherewithal to attain a bachelor's degree in whatever course that's in alignment with your dreams then please go for it. And after that, you can go for your masters if you have the ability to do so. Don't let naysayers talk you out of it. Just make sure what you study is relevant in our present society and can be applied to solve real life problems. Even if there are countless graduates that are still unemployed, that shouldn't be where you set your sights, be positive, optimistic and still be realistic. Having the degree gives edge over those who do not and it also lays the foundation on which to build.
However, the truth is, our educational system here in Nigeria are not equipped to help graduates meet the demands of the 21st century. Knowledge in every field gets outdated every seven years and you'd agree with me that our curriculum and most of the things we are being taught are theories propounded centuries before and no practicals whatsoever. The problem is general, excepting of course some private universities that have taken it upon themselves to understand the times and plan accordingly.

That's why education begins after the university. Upon graduation, you should begin acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge that makes you employable because the thing is that no employer gives a hoot about your cert. They are only interested in what you can offer. If you don't satisfy a need, you won't be needed. Please read books on the subject to gain an in-depth and genuine information about the usefulness of your degree and an understanding of the job market. There is so much to know. So much my brother. And the internet is not the ideal place to get spot-on info as there are a lot of garbage and people with the wrong knowledge. Stay blessed.

The poor and vulnerable in this case should be those who are incapable of fending for themselves as a result of old age or handicap. Not all poor or unemployed persons are considered vulnerable because one way or the other, these people can still find something to eat because they are whole and Hale and hearty. In essence, the food relief packages is for the homeless, hopeless and hapless. I could I made myself clear?
