Hi Nairalanders, kindly need your advice, please.

I am currently in my second year studying a five years course in a federal university, I have no interest in what
I am studying, I got good grades tho. Just doing it because that is what my parents want me to do. I have no passion for it,
oftentimes I feel I am just wasting my time in school.

I love programming and would love to drop out of uni to focus on it and give my all to it. Seeing a lot of graduates
living from hand to mouth, struggling to earn a living is truly not encouraging.

After your study you can equally go for your programing dear. Sound education is not a waste of time my dear.

Dont even try it. Continue your studies and start your programming in the university.

Well switch to a better course.
Dropping out is harsher

What makes you think you won't "drop-out" of the programming too?

IMO, I'll say if you are capable, do both at the same time. you fit fustrate come see say programming na different ball game when you drop out.

If this was stackoverflow, this post/question would be marked as duplicate....LOl

You don't need to dropout, you can always combine both if you have the mental capacity

Please continue your education, it will help you when the chips are down. Life is not all about programming as we are seeing it now.

...


If you love your life and future drop out and chase your passion now...


School was not designed to make you a boss but to advance slavery....


The best thing that can happen to a man is to pursue a career that equalizes with his passion... In that way you will never regret and you will never have to work ever because you will never feel like you are working but you will always get the feeling that you are being paid to have fun...


The smartest people from schools end up as employees who make more money for billionaires, many billionaires didn't go to university because they had a plan bigger than wasting 5 years in a 1800s classroom setting

Lemme wait for the bosses to arrive.

But I do wish you the best with the choice you make.

If he sure for you, drop out oh.

I use this medium to say Happy Children's Day to all Nairalanders still living with their parents!!!

Just Do it.

DON'T TRY IT. DO COLLEGE AND PROGRAMMING. Don't make a terrible mistake in your young age.

YOU ARE ENJOYING PROGRAMMING TODAY, WHAT OF IF TOMORROW YOU ARE NOW EAGER FOR POLITICAL APPOINTMENT? Will they use programming? They will use your college...

Be very careful! Don't drop the future because of present gratification. Use all opportunities.

If you know you are not a genius...DO NOT TRY IT!
You may be focusing on bill gates and sukerbag. you are differnert

My opinion is to do both. Ability to multitask at various layers is vital today so you can keep at your college work while spending certain number of hours a week on programming/development tasks. Life works in strange ways, your knowledge of what you are doing in college today might be the x-factor in your first big programming/development breakthrough. Maybe you will end up using your knowledge to come up with something huge or improve a major operational process in that field.

Imma keep it real with you Sonny, don't venture into programming if you don't have money for data or good food.

E get why.

There are times you'd just smash your PC and scream fuckit, I want out when you can't debug a line of code...been there, done that.

Secondly, you need to be on some NOOTRPOICS (cognitive enhancement drugs...adderrall, modafinil, etc)

Here are some gems you can fuccc with, cheers.


You might want to listen to BLESSED (schoolboy Q ft Kendrick Lamar) while reading this while you light up a blunt, it'd help you a lot


Know this and know peace.

you can hit the ground running with a few tips below I you don't have any profitable venture at the monent, this..can be applied to almost anything if you think critically.


imma keep it real with you like my brother from another mother, The educational system in Nigeria has been watered down a great deal but there are still opportunities for grassroot hustlers, best believe that.

All you need now is a hustler's ambition / mindset, you need to grind like one who has no mother or father, its cold out there.

In Nigeria, there are two classes of people (Living things and non living things)...you need to be amongst the living and stop whinning and complaining about this and that, nobody has it easy. If everyone comes to Nairaland beer parlor with his or her story, you go thank God for your life.

Bum imma share some gems with you real quick and if you are street wise, you will take action immediately.

If you must make it in Nigeria, you must think like an OUTLAW. push your fine boy and degree aside, roll up your sleeves and hit the ground running.

however, If you are techy (digital marketing, ecommerce, mini importation, UI / UX, Graphics Design, Video editing)

If you are dead broke don't venture into programming, you cannot effectively learn programming on an empty stomach with lack of data


If you are hands on Plumbing, woodwork, electrical, interior design solar design and installation, phone and laptop repair


Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...
First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...
A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...
Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).
I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat,
ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...We all blessed my nigga !

Hmm
Please combine both
Please

Who school help you only get frustration at the end

Your excuse appears hollow.
There will always be people struggling to survive.

Just make sure you Excel in your studies first.

Maybe you should do both at the same time with more focus on the programming.

You don't need to drop out to concentrate on programming. Complete your studies, please.

Your village people have called you bah

Why not switch to something closely related to computer programming. Dropping out is I'll adviced of you ask me

keep doing both. Until you have a product or service from your programming knowledge, you cant fully depend on programming as wtg, later in future, when you brain cant handle complex algorithms, you'll have something much easier to fall back to.

and hey, there's more to life than money, the initial overwhelming enthusiasm, problem solving and being in control that programming gives.

Good luck
