If buzitchy ain't mad, nobody else matters ...
It's not rude [/b]so I can't be bothered.

Yvete:
You've got homework!

Yvete: I just saw this, " I bet you would be akataish*………loooool."

Naa, not true...haha!
Funny stuff, my Mum visited us from Nigeria with a flag and placed it in the living room, by the door. Then she told us, 'Anytime you step into this house, you're in Nigeria. When you step outside, you can be Akata, i don't care' hehehehe

xandy84: Can someone help explain diffirent between GMAT and GRE... I want to apply for Master of Education and the school is asking for GRE.. Please explain if you have an ida of the diffirent...

olsmade: lolz. about finaid, yeah. i'll prolly have to mail BU - didnt think bout it before though. i have heard about the evening classes in some programs, but im sure it will make very little difference for an international student except ofcourse I want to do observerships during the day - RA or GA positions for international students have a 20hr cap per week. im leaning towards UT, Houston cos of the tuition and hope to get stipends which will then qualify me for instate tuition - daylight robbery. I did GRE way back in 2011 - twasnt so bad.

Find Out!:
Hmmm...thanks for that Just thot twasa few courses like MPH, MHA & other professional degrees that had their class schedules planned that way. Thanks.

virgin ice: Hmmmm...I see u r mistaken

imperiouxx: looool...you are really funny. But I will beg you to watch what you're saying. If there is anything like discouragement I haven't seen it here since few days past. Or you mean advising someone on direct PhD is discouraging the person? or given address the school and breakdown of the program is what you called discouragement?. Moreover, I don't see what you wrote up there as an advice or encouragement rather than another begin of havoc and controversy. Take note abeg ma'am.

Ms Virgin :

Yvete: Hahaha!! I tried to get an MBA in Global Energy Mgmt 2 yrs ago just cos' it sounds good..lol, and got discouraged because of the Almighty GMAT. I'm a total id.iot when it comes to Maths. Quit and went to field of practical Technology. Same way my Dad pressures me to round up this Masters. I'm sure its so that he can brag about it. Now I've got Law School in mind because my whole life, I've been told that I'll make an excellent Attorney so ... lemme take a shot at it!

I got my first job offer with KPMG in a senior year of college. Entry-level job with decent salary. I think most companies esp MNCs want to 'catch them young' and also grad students right out of college.

What is a 2:1 and 2:2 equivalent to? I mean in US GPA system?

bukahands: Please u gat example of schools dat accept make I disturb them small

webstradamus: Thank God for MLK tomorrow ... wondering what it would have been like going to class under -16F (with -32F wind chills). Times like this make me hate MN but it's all good sha ... we'll survive!

Yvete: Hey OjaP! The mods brought you back to life huh? Good Morning!

Babymumsy: 4th to comment *dancing alingo,etighi,azonto* I love yall Nairalanders!

tanimola22: Unless you have good capital, novel ideas and something to fall back on, I would advise that you quickly jump at the oil job. Many people know how to say this and that; it is easier said. However, the actual test comes when one is faced with a very nice offer from an oil company. Not many people can resist the strong temptation.

I used to know one guy who claimed he would never work for anybody but himself. He was a year into his personal company when he suddenly got an offer from one of the major MNOCs, not even Total sef. The funny dude just abandoned his business and jumped at the oil company's offer. This was a dude that earlier made so much mouth about self-employment and even inspired very many people in the process. A lot of people, including yours sincerely, were astonished and disappointed in the guy.

Another one was a guy who was lured into resigning his bank job for the purpose of starting his own business and being self-employed. This guy foolishly harkened what he was told without even thinking about the risk involved. He never thought of what might happen if his business didn't go well. After 6 months of starting the business using 'all' the money he had, the business crashed! Today the guy is looking for whom to give him another paid employment. Unfortunately, paid employment does not come easily anymore. The person who encouraged him to resign his bank job and pursue self-employment has 'benjohnsined'. He has neglected him. Remember the song: when yawa dey for you everybody benjohnsin, dem go dey lie dem no no u again. This is the pathetic situation the guy has found himself.

I am not against being self-employed, in fact that is my ultimate plan. What I am saying is that, in the process of trying to be self-employed, one should have something to fall back on. It is a common knowledge that being an entrepreneur is not always rosy. What happens if things don't go well? This is the question we need to ask ourselves before going the self-employment route.

For me, I can never quit a paid employment unless I am sure that my family and I will survive for 5-6 straight years without any struggles. This is what I call having something to fall back on, just in case things don't look too well in the first few years of self-employment.

This is my take sha.
