What Skill can a 35 year old graduate learn?

I am thinking of going to do my MASTERS in geology,but i don't currently work as a geologist as i couldn't land a job in my field 10years after graduation.I currently work as an inventory staff(which i currently desire to leave).I am not sure if doing masters will be worth it.

I am also thinking maybe to also go into tech,is web development still viable at this time considering my age?
I am also thinking tech support and networking
I am thinking HSE (health and safety) also.

which can i go for or are there better options? Thanks.

Be a tech geologist

You already know geology
Find tech in the specific area of your discipline
Deepen that particular path ..in niches and in parts

Find organizations in need of that particular skills you currently have

Write them
And see if you can get in

If you are truly valuable in that path as stated above
You will gain better employment with less amount of time

Web development isn't for everyone
But almost every field of human endeavours has tech in it
Choose the tech area in what you like the most

i think u wanted to tell him not me

No matter the advice you get in public
Especially when you are doing tech
Just keep the good and let people Alone

Don't talk back

There are reasons to their replies


As for laptop

The price isn't matter especially when starting out as seen from your statement

Get a rugged dell
Or any rugged but cheap laptop
Learn with that first

Then you can go for anyone later based on your expertise

The laptop an asp guy would need maybe. Different from what a normal python guy would need

With several online platforms this days
You don't need to have the heavy lifting done with your laptop

But sir you said 1994

You know that many wars between Syria and Isreal have been recorded before then?
The Philistines which is now Palestine if am not mistaking
Wars between them and Egypt though not a Middle Eastern country

He dosnt known history first recordsnof civilization was from African to middle east

This is your website
You are either trying to promote this site

Or you are trying to scam via the site

From DM

You can't combine the two In Lagos

You will only stress yourself and go back to niger
Stay in niger and grow first
Kaiji area has better electricity so you have options
You can plan and grow from Niger

Simple!
Travel to the outskirt of your city, buy some acres of land, clear the bush... errect an estate gate then, proceed to hire marketers who will market the plots of land as an estate with promising amenities with an option for buyers to spread the payment over a period of 6 to 12 months!!!

And so on, and so forth...

I am tired of typing

Surest

Hehe, There's a Short-let company with fancy rooms scattered across Island. Brooke Addison is the company name I think (Check IG and co).

You'll encounter this when checking into any of their rooms, and funny enough the company is one of the cheapest companies. So, Naija has it, and it's not expensive.

Self check in with every instruction with regards to usage dey island and vi

Better pass the one shown here with bed like rat bed
You get a full king-size bed
And not with some agadagodo
But coded doors
Input your check in number and you are in

And you pay probably less than what he is paying abroad
The guy in the video na village boy

As seen
Above , the company is into online marketing and tech
Respond here if interested

Your loan partner is changing people's devices in the process of accessing loan for your solar product

I offered to buy the device directly from you, but got no response

Meaning you are working with the loan partner
To access people's accounts

There is no gaurantees that the account cannot be accessed,since it was changed during the registration process
And what do you have to proof that the app itself
is not a keylogger


For anyone going for this device via the loan route
Abort mission until they fix their shit

Still looking

Shedrick:
Understand this: If you need a good programmer, your terms and conditions may not be appealing. I noticed that you mentioned testing the programmer for one month—this is a red flag. Unless this is an organization that offers a six-figure salary in dollars, no competent programmer will agree to such a long test period.

Also, from what you said, I assume you pay per project since you mentioned, "All works are paid for." This is just from my perspective, one of my core areas is Python and AI development, utilizing various Python libraries and AI frameworks.

It's a retainer ship

But the trial period will be paid for

You should know that, we have experience very bad programmers too

People can declare their salary but end up doing nothing
That's the reason for the trial

We ain't looking for people to pay 6 figure salaries
But we know it's attractive enough for a good hand

Shedrick:
Can't Stop Laughing, You will get exactly the Kind of Programmer You deserve!!

I don't understand a thing here

We had really nice development works outsourcing here within ibadan
I just want to have someone inhouse

Alphabyte3:
50% tariff hike for telecommunications companies by NCC .Programmers in Nigeria are likely feeling the pinch of the recent tariff hikes by MTN, Glo, Airtel, and 9mobile. With data, call and SMS prices increasing by up to 50%, many programmers may struggle to afford the internet and communication services they need to work effectively.


To take common garri is no longer N500 now N800. Maybe we have to japa to Europe,Canada or the UK since it is our contingency plan. I don't advice people who can't do 2 to 3jobs to japa because that can tell on your mental health.

The real issue is exportability

If programmers focused on only the Nigerian market and can't work Beyond the low class Nigerian thing
They will go hungry continuously

But those working outside from Nigeria do not know this

A wordpress developer shouldn't earn less than 700 USD a month if he I knows his salt

But then, hunger bad...

Starlink and other providers are there

The world left where Nigeria wish to be

PP123:
did you pay the guy anything before he absconded 😂

So you would pay someone that did nothing,
A person who spent only 3 hours doing nothing before taking an excuse

PP123:
https://www.nairaland.com/8312234/first-guy-employed-absconded#133637251

That's why the guy absconded cos of your bad character and low pay

Why spoiling another man business

The pay was 250k a month for digital marketing in Ibadan

How much do they pay in Lagos

Mind you those working with us for the past two years earn far above that

PP123:
that's why your leader nnamdi kanu is still in prison

You shouldnt post this in public forum in 2025

In 2015

We used to post this

But that's amount is tantamount to begging a designer to do your job

They will rather reck it than do the job

You let them know the nature of the job ,maybe you can get a person to do it under an hour's here

But that money is too low for any one with real skills

All said above
Office is around akobo Ibadan
Project in housing, payment,ai
And bots



Would like to get a scope of your monthly take home and the skill levels

Alternatively all freelancers or staff go through a one month test

All works are paid for
We just need to know you are competent to deliver

You also need them to fill a form

You are wasting your own time

Not sure you know what you doing

What kind of business do you know the most

I know tech and detoured into real estate for the long

But then, the best businesses are the business you know..not some I learn this in one month thing then starts

If you are a full time employee...
More certification...or buying properties is what you can still do

5 million can't buy a thing in property...
But southwest still doing some magics with regards to land banking

Invest in our starts up if you are so focused on people with business
We can discuss yearly returns if interested ( it's a fintech)

Nor be only 200m
With 60-70M he will get that done

The finishing of each room can cost 3.5-5 million
How would you achieve it

If it does
Take my money and give it to me

Does itmcome with solar panel

Developed your apps and make it browser based
With high mobile designs and forget all this app store thing

You will be wasting lots of marketing times on app store
And who says users care about Appstore or browser
They just want the real thing

wavefly:
I've tried several dollar virtual cards, but do they even accept Nigerian debit cards? As

They do accept Nigeria USD card or naira cards that can pay for International transaction

Polaris card
Sterling Bank
Wema bank

For virtual card

You can't use Nigeria address with it
And the account should be opened with Nigerian phone Nur

But they will most likely require an I'd

Maybe you try aws
They are simpler

It's the card
But you need do some trials

First one
Are you using a Nigerian card or foreign card

Is the card enabled for international transactions

Good evening everyone, pls guys I want to get a 5kva inverter system , my installer is giving me 3 m quotation plus installation with 7.5kva feleicity inverter . He said I should just get the 7.5kva felicity inveryer since I plan to use my A.c 1.5 inverter later on . That I will not regret it .
This is what he is offering
8 panels of 250 watts panels
7.5 kva felicity inverter
2 tubular batteries 220amp luminous
SMS charge controller .60amp
Surge protector
And after sales service for me .
Pls solar gurus in the house .
What’s your advise , I feel like it is too expensive, pls advise me .
This is my load currently .
65inches smart tv lg
Star link internet
1000 watts dvd lg players
One reachable fan
And small ox fan
8kg side loader washing machine .inverter
One standing inverter fridge
3 energy bulbs.
My target is 20 to 24 hours system . I will be waiting for your advise keenly .

Extremely wrong


A 7.5 inverter should work with atleast 6 batteries
Meaning each battery should produce 1kva

And you will then need atleast

Solar panel with combined energy production of 6.5.7kva production


It means you need atleast 13 panels of 500 watt each

But I am very sure the setup cost us under 1.5 million hence the anyhow setup

Smelly? You’ve clearly never been to Eko Atlantic before

That's because it's not accessible
