You can acquire a skill in any of the following mainstream areas:

- UI/UX design
- Data science
- Digital marketing

If you want something less formal, you can also learn how to earn by helping people on social media. I got an ebook on that yesterday and it makes sense. Let me look for the thread and post it here.

Above all, be determined. First borns always face a lot of challenges.
I'll need it too.

Go to school.

Dont make a life altering decision because of anybody.

They will ask u why u took the stupid decision much later.

Struggle and send your self to school. Every Body will be alright.

If u miss the opportunity to break the poverty barrier because of anybody, u will join them in the suffering.
Who school don help? Someone has just one capital and is asking if to use it in school or biz, you say school. So that he will come out and start depending on family while walking from one office to the other seeking for a job that will not pay up to 100k but with so much hectic labor. Meanwhile he can start something for himself today and be a boss tomorrow. Really do you still advice him to go to school in these dayshuh?

I am the first born in the family, due to financial challenges, I want to know if it Will be wise to further my education base on promises by family members to sponsor my education or should i learn a skill......

And secondly want to know the type of skill one can learn to help the family.
. I observed that the moderator or Nairaland blocked me from commenting on Ife massacre.I begin to wonderwhy this step was taken and if this is not a trample on my right to expression. The Naraland should know that Ife massacre is in the public domain and there is no reason of blocking members from making their civil comments on the matter.

Please what type of skill can one learn to fetch him money. I mean a skill that's not over crowded in the labour market.
If you very good with eye to hand cordination, learn barbing... With that you can make some money that you can use to sponsor urself in school even while in school.

What i woukd only advise you is to BE CREATIVE IN YOUR ENDEAVOUR..
FIND A NICHE WHERE OTHERS ARE NOT EXPLORING IN IT YET...OR VERY FEW ARE EXPLORING IT... and build on it.

Every skill and endeavour has this.. And i5 comes with experience at d job.

May God kead u aright.

Go find money first and possibly go to school later. School is for kids who are still figuring their route in life, you should be in serious pursue of life @29 n not talking about school anymore. If you can take a tough decision, I will advise you go into transportation either driving bus or Uber or whatever relating to transportation. You need to make money from dirty and hard jobs and later push them into business/something else. The earlier you realize that school will not give you the kind of life you hoped for the better..except you want to work for people.

Oh really. I have never met or seen a rich salary earner. Small shall become great is not for salary earners. Not let's assume your salary is one million people month. Bros abi na aunty, how many graduates of your qualification earn as you earn? Please base it on ratio. Have you seen how slim his chances are? Need I remind you he said he has just one capital. So it's either school or biz and whichever he chooses must work for him. Do you advice him to take his chances on schooling after your ratio statisticshuh?

That is the dunce mindset of ignorant illiterates.

"NO RICH SALARY EARNER."

Going to school and acquiring a skill does not mean u must collect salary and if u have to , why not ?

But stop that nonsense NO RICH SALARY EARNER VIBES.

I repeat, go to School no matter what. There is National Open University that he can go as he is working.

Making that decision because he wanted to put food on anybody's table right now is not wise.

Bro!! My biggest advice to you is further yourself and learn a skill at the same tym since furthering your education is an option. An ideal mind is a devil's workshop.

You are a big scam. Are my calculations wrong? Is the ratio wrong? You are like a motivational speaker who propels people by what he says telling then that a mountain is a staircase when in reality it's an unclimbable mountain. Show me a rich salary earner and I'll show his master in worth (finance and asset) in the business world. Keep fooling yourself thinking you are earning well. A word of advice, as your ten million naira monthly salary is still coming now, set up a business with a lasting potential since like yesterday. A salary earner wears out with time while a business owner expands with time
Re: Should I Further My Education Or Learn A Skill To Help My Family? by akpota(m): 7:30pm On Nov 18, 2021
From my personal experience bro.
Go to school first with the fund you have and engage yourself with soft skills.
If you decide to make family okay you will get hurt in the process because your progress may be delayed in your educational pursuits.
Except all members of the family are upright if not don’t use yourself for family.
I am the first born and I have been in this mess.
I had to break myself free!!
It got to a stage I couldn’t account for my fiancé spending increases for family.

My brother you better go to school oooo.

If your family members eventually disappoints you, then you'll have a good reason to drop out and learn a skill.


Go School

Your tone is going weak. I'll give you another statistics and you'll know you are the real mugu here. In our time till date, University doesn't allow over 70% of it's students read what they tend to but rather students end up in departments and courses where there's space after all getting a job is no longer by what you read (misplaced priority). Now after 4,5 some even 6 years of study depending on your academic history, many graduate to fall back on the skill they should have taken seriously but rather choose to go to school. Now every six or three months if the calendar is not obstructed graduates pour out in numbers from federal, state, private universities, and polytechnics all seeking a white collar job. I can't even tell you how many people's CV are in my drawer that I have not been able to secure jobs for even in my company. We are in the era of technology and we are experiencing more sophisticated technologies now and many years to come. These technologies will take the place of man power (labour). With just the emergence of ATM machine, many bankers were retrenched and there's a course called banking and finance in the uni. In my almamater, there's a course called guidance and psychology. Today the head of the family and head of the street has taken over their jobs. Lawyers are dragging for clients in front of CAC office just to help do your CAC certificate so they can get daily bread. Doctors in private hospitals are paid less than a hundred thousand naira. Body go tell your children if you don't fix them up. I can go on and on
