mofedamijo: This army of delusionaries must be stopped from corrupting young minds, they come on Nairaland in the middle of a mid-life crisis to tell a 19 year old to learn "programming" from YouTube instead of getting a a degree in Computer science or Engineering. If you want to be a real programmer, get a degree in any of: - Computer Science - Computer Engineering - Software Engineering - Mathematics - Information Technology - Information Systems etc It is highly recommended to get a relevant IT degree and consolidate your knowledge by learning more on YouTube and other MOOCs than to have an irrelevant degree and do the same. TLDR: Whatever you do, get a degree while you can, it's better to have a degree and not need it than to need a degree and not have it, do not be deceived. 4 Likes |

Xolander: You have said it all, and this is the best advise for anyone going into the I.T field.... They have never left Nigeria, they have never being in any meeting where candidate choice are deliberated, they have never been to any recruiter fairs, forums or groups, they have never being in any meetings with VP of Tech or CTO to discuss candidate choice and requirements, but they wabt to tell US what the requirements are. Most companies in the U.S requires a Bachelors degree for I.T roles, even the entry level roles, that is the requirement, I cannot change that. But they think they have more statistics than I do..... Bunch of illiterates. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Can we just leave IT topics for the IT professionals to answer? I see a lot of rubbish answers whenever an IT topic makes frontpage. People who have never provided any IT solution or service will be talking like they know it all. From their answers you can tell they know next to nothing and going round correcting them is tiresome 1 Like |

mofedamijo:You are not really getting the point, alot of Nigerians going into tech now already have a degree or at least an hnd but not related to CS. Let's say someone has a degree in economics or chemical engineering, and such person decided to enter the tech industry let's say as a web or app developer , do u advice such person to go back to school to learn study Cs or learn from online resources available. I personally know someone earning 6 figure working for a tech company in Lagos as a frontend developer, the dude studied electrical electronics engineering not CS. Even after studying CS in school, one still need these online resources to sharpen his/her skills because I don't think anyone will teach u react or nodejs in school. 2 Likes |

Xolander:No one is telling a 19 yr old not to get a degree, the main issue here is for people with degree not related to the tech industry but want to branch into the tech industry. You think because one is learning to code from YouTube then that person must not have a degree. |

Techguy96: You must have mixed my point. What I am saying is have a Degree in related field. From the perspective of a hiring company, been able to achieve a degree signals the ability to listen to directions and commit to four years of work. It ia not just the degree, but the degree shows a lot about an individual. Moreover, people with college or post-baccalaureate degrees tend to earn much more than those without one. "Even companies like Apple that have been vocal about non-traditional education are more likely to hire someone that has both a college degree and technical training, according to Michael Horowitz, president of TCS Education System. By the way, don't say alot of Nigerians going into I.T already have a degree, no they don't, they only want to go in because of the money. Which is fine, but ask them what problem are they trying to solve, and you will hear them stammering...... I understand your point bro...... The I.T sector is fast becoming a full professional position like Nursing, and Medicine. Now, will you hire a Mathematics graduate for a Nursing position? That is why you see so many Nigerians upon arriving in the U.S, they swtich from Geography to Nursing by quickly completing a CNA course to get Nursing certificates, some of them go back to school to start Nursing a fresh. 1 Like |

Techguy96: You are right, its all about the new oil, that is why they believe they can be a pro in Tech within two months...... My prayer is to see Nigerians as Vice president of Tech, Chief Tech Officer, etc. But how will Nigerians get to the top if someone is telling them they don't need a degree. You can't get that high without a degree, never. Ngozi Okono-Iweala, although not in the tech field, however, she wouldn't have attained that height without those degrees and certificates...... The current Vice President | Head of Google Cloud & DevOps have a Masters degree...... Nobody will give him that position without a degree. 3 Likes |

They're exploiting people's suffering, lack of knowledge, and determination. You can download college textbooks used by some of the best universities in the world; free. You can get tutorials, slides, videos, and courses; free. You can access MOOCs from Harvard and MIT; free. ETA: There's plenty of free software to use in your studies. There are also free coding websites and communities where you can practice through competitions, share knowledge, and get help when you're stuck on something. You can also contribute to large FOSS to build your resume. 1 Like |

Xolander:The IT HR space is a buyers market, and if you know how much the companies you listed fight to lockdown their best programmers with perks, you will marvel. There's no point explaining the present reality to you when you have decided to live in the past. Programmers with my skillset :Embedded systems, Kernel programming and others who do hardware stuff call the shots when it comes to employment. 1 Like |

itoldu: There is a way you would have written your post without sounding mean and harsh really. Everyone is here to learn. Have an open mind. You are right in your statement and can be right on certain issues but the way you present them could send a wrong signal of hate which is totally not your intention. I hope you understand.

Uchedizzy:Maybe you could try content creation or software testing. I don't know how easy these ones are but I feel it's not as easy as software development. But the demand will surely not be as high as software developers. |

IbrahimTharwa:In app development you write business apps, eg accounting software and the likes. In embedded systems, you write application software that interfaces with hardware eg using an app to control a TV. You can learn how to write application software for desktop in C#, Swift, Rust. Web apps in JavaScript, Python. You can write decent Enterprise apps in 8 months if you have someone to guide you. |
