₦airaland Forum

I have always seen and known Nairaland as where ideas and solutions come from very matured and experienced members hence my bringing this topic here for advice.

I currently have a job though not paying very well but I enjoy the flexibility it offers.
I work 8am to 12noon Monday to Thursday having Friday and the weekends to myself.

I am very enthusiastic about learning digital skills especially Data Science and saving up for that hoping to start in the first week of January.

Please I need suggestions on what things I can do to get money in this my 'free period' pending when I am able to start my digital trainings.

All suggestions are appreciated no matter how crude as I am ready for anything not illegal to better my currently battered financial state.

NB: Location is Lagos

Damnnn niggar

There is no legal money on planet earth

I hate when people keep on screaming they don't want to do anything illegal

I'm interested in this topic...

Nairalanders are Yahoo boys, what advice can they give you, I can't give you want I don't have.

You have a brain, use it to help yourself, what if there was no internet.

What about you start reading up on the course? It will make it easier for you to catch up. You can watch tons of tutorial courses on YouTube

Forward thinking.

Bomb bro

Or do things that interests you.

Most importantly engage your mind.

I am on nairaland most times in the day not because I like nl, but because I tend to increase my knowledge based with variety of topics.

Don't procrastinate

So, have you registered for the Google Digital training being advertised online?

Do you have a laptop? If you have one, you can do a lot of things with it. You can start learning Data Science on your own before your digital trainings start. Learn basic to advanced Excel, then PowerBI or Tableau. The remaining things like Python and SQL can be learnt during your advanced program. There are a lot of free learning resources online. You just need to cut off social media and other distractions.
You can learn Data Science from some Nigerian programs like Data Science Nigeria, Twicher, Technidus etc.

As for the money aspect, if you have a laptop you can freelance on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr for money.

You can also save up some money to start trading crypto on the side.

Or you could teach children tutorials in the evenings since you are usually free then.

Meanwhile, I deliver PC Games all over Nigeria. Over 11 TB of PC games available.

Start creating content. It could be about what you're learning. Or how to use time effectively. I mean just document your steps on a channel.

So in other words, start a channel

2nd tip- learn online advertising. Fb, YT, Google advertising. You need to learn just 1 and how to use it. It's an evergreen skill.

3rd tip- invest time learning all you can about coins.

Omo it can be confusing. But I try donate least 1 thing towards my goal everyday

Think

If you really have interest in Data Science as you stated, I did recommend World Quant University to you. They have a very comprehensive syllabus covering almost everything that you need to kick start your Data Science journey but you must be ready to work hard. The good thing is that it's free.

You can also apply for the McKinsey and Company Forward Africa Program, it's currently open now and it's free.

I can assure you that you did be better off if you are able to complete these two programs by 2022 Q1.
