gracealonev:I think an ordinary BSC would have sufficed,those other degrees are irrelevant to what I do |

dettolgel:I don't argue it has it's own positive inclinations, but the only reason I went for those courses is to make more money Germaine to my area of specialty,I don't make Money with any of those degrees and that's a bummer for me |

It's obvious that you are a professional student. But your qualifications in Sociology- Statistics- Demography- Financial Risk Management is the foundation of a career in Data Science, Quantitative analysis and Risk Analysis, there are many free courses in Data Science on Youtube. omohayek: I agree with you that the OP's has wasted valuable time acquiring unnecessary qualifications without any set goals, this is the flaw within Nigeria's education sector, there are virtually no career mentors in Nigeria's secondary schools. What the Op's should do is remove irrelevant certification and focus on his relevant academic qualifications in Sociology and MSc Statistics which are critical to Risk Management and Data Science. He is still in his 30s hence he can still build a new career., but he will have to work very hard on any new skills that are required to work as a Data Scientist or in Risk. 1 Like 1 Share |

I feel the same way before but I sat down and reason with myself and found out that I have been given the greatest key ever, when you are lazy that is when this life would be hard for you, when you want to be stuck and you don't want to be flexible to work and you say to your self that you will alone succeed with education and education alone you don't want to use your hand to work, yes you are expecting a job when you graduate a white collar job but now you are in a messup position and you did not caught your dream anymore then you have the opportunity to find your way in the real life. That you see yourself I hope you are not the type of person that say I will work with biro and paper that won't be a road side Mechanic or a farmer, I would only be in the office typing and working and AC will be blowing me and I would be looking fresh, that is not case now.. mind you education is not a wast because when the opportunity comes you will be happy. Still reading. Education is like a bed that you lie down on so you have the power to do anything you want to the bed you can make it comfortable for you and uncomfortable so it is your choice. Education is like a tools and a customer, it depends on how you use it, it can fetch you money and you can leave it idle there.. |

No knowledge is ever lost. Please get that. For example, there is a way your knowledge of statistics will surface and be useful without you realising this even while discussing matters not related to numbers or data. The day that knowledge will give you insight into multi-million dollar investment that others are yet to see, then you'll understand. shogsman: |

shogsman: Your education is only a waste if you didn't learn anything. What/who you're is the summation of all that have gone into you including your education. You might not have been qualify to be where you're if were less educated. Education is never too much until we leave this world. I encourage every young man like me to get education. Money will come not necessarily through one's certificates. |

Re: I Feel Like I Wasted My Time On Education by Olitimothy(m): 1:16pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
Education is not a guarantee for job or success in life,but a refinement of the mind,so that whatever the brain chose to do after,the mind will be well developed and prepared to understand the logic..... It's not a waste of time bro though I don't blame you for saying it shaa,i blame this failed country, Nigeria,because they have no regards or dignity wh atsoever for labour...and our educational sector has depleted woefully ☹️☹️☹️.. Na God hand we dey shaa! |

shogsman:I don't agree with this sweeping conclusion. Believe it or not, your education, in one way or another, is the foundation for open-door you may think you are enjoying right now. Education is the open sesame to opportunities in life even if it is outside your discipline. You handle things with finesse except you didn't allow the school system to pass through you. |

Probably you were not guided, hence you just did like jack of all trades... At least, thanks God that you have a job and you are making a decent living like you said. |

You are well read but not educated. Education is not to get job but to solve societal problem |

The5DME: A Degree in Statistics?! With all the low hanging Data Analysts role littered everywhere? Combined with a Degree in Sociology where he can focus on analysing and forecasting consumer behaviour? Even if he is just analysing for the fun of it he will get jobs |

Anytime topics like this come up, people in the academic sector will quickly jump in to save their jobs and try to hide the fact. The fact is, education isn't what is being practiced in Nigeria currently. Rather, what is being practiced is educational business. It's why courses like sociology are still being offered in our universities. I mean these courses have their place, but where do they fit in the current Nigerian system? I also used to think, the jssce exams we all took, the logic and philosophy and cse202 I studied as an Accounting undergraduate back then, for example, what is the relevance to me today? How can I use this knowledge to solve my own problems or who are the employers that will employ me to apply this knowledge to their business? Yet every year institutions across Nigeria keep offering these obsolete courses. Something is fundamentally wrong with the education model in Nigeria but anytime people want to raise these issues, people in the education sector will try to blackmail them with all sort of rubbish. I mean, it's now a crime if I earn from something I devote over five years of my life into, with my parents spending well over a million Naira? For me, I have B.Tech and am done doing charity to schools in Nigeria. The learning, assignments, project, exams, results--everything were a joke, irrelevant, and a huge waste of my time. |

The truth is, you were born with a Silver spoon; Your parents are loaded so they decided to spend it. They're still more courses you can still study o, those ones you have might not be enough. Courses like, English engineering, Mathematics anatomy, Guns and bullets maintenance, Economic disaster production etc. Best of luck 1 Like |
