I'm 23years of age, I have HND in statistics (Distinction), done with NYSC program, I want to further my studies but I'm really confused what to do,
1. I don't know whether to opt in for PGD or BSC(Through Direct Entry).
2. I don't know if I should switch course, from statistics to accounting via Direct Entry and I don't know if HND statistics will be accepted into accounting.
Please I seriously need your opinion and advise on it.
don't go for B.sc accounting. Go for something that is marketable internationally. E.g data analytics, computer science, robotics etc. A distinction in statistics suggests that u are brilliant (except u got it the sorting way) so why not maximize Ur potentials? I am a chartered accountant so I think I should know better. As I dey try to japa form naija now, that's when I realized that accounting is overrated. Don't get me wrong, if u know Ur onions as an accountant, securing a (basic) job in naija should not be too difficult. As someone that works with young pple (I am a lecturer), I have found job placements for dozens of my students. But u shud look beyond that, especially since u are still young. 1 Like |

I'm also in your shoes.. but this is what I have come to realise so far
1) HND or BSc.. there is no job out there
2) HND or BSc the organization doesn't care, in as much as you know your job
3)YES! HND in statistics qualifies you for direct entry into Accounting
But!
There are some opportunities you will not get if you don't have a degree
There are some chances you will not get to prove yourself if you dont have a degree
There are some interviews you will not get if you don't have a degree
The bottom line is that being successful in your career path is not dependent on whether you have an HND or BSc.
As an HND holder, I will say I've never been out of job since I graduated 2years ago, but the truth is there are better opportunities I have missed out on due to the fact that I don't have a degree, I'm currently trying to run a conversion programme in a course related to my field.
@23 you are still very young, please opt for direct entry if you are from @least a average family who are willing to support you for the next 2-3years again, if not you can try conversion programme, this will give you the opportunity to work and continue schooling at the same time.

A friend wanted to apply as an ALT in Japan,most of the schools are saying IF IT IS DIPLOMA YOU HAVE, DO NOT BOTHER APPLYING.
And besides, the annoying part is that IT IS NOT REGARDED AS A DEGREE.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY WIN MSC AND PHD FULL SCHOLARSHIP IN USA AND CANADA WITH HND DISTINCTION OR UPPER CREDIT FOR USA AND CANADA You can actually win USA and Canada scholarship with HND distinction or Upper credit and there are so many testimonies. Firstly, you will need to apply for WES academic transcript. Include both your OND and HND results for evaluation. WES equals HND to BSc in USA and Canada as they classify it as a 5 year course. You can then use the obtained WES transcripts to apply for admission and full scholarship in USA and Canada. You might need to do GRE and English tests depending on the school. However, some schools might give you scholarship without the tests. These links will help: Read ghost87 comment on https://www.nairaland.com/370346/what-hnd-equivalent-usahttps://www.farooqkperogi.com/2009/12/hnd-and-american-universities.html?m=1https://www.nairaland.com/1832477/how-achieve-high-scores-greFOR UK Many UK schools admit HND students directly provided you have relevant work experience in the proposed field. Schools like University of South Wales, Sheffield Hallam University, Roegampton University and many other universities accept HND. You can get admission without WES transcript. However, unlike USA or Canadian schools in which you can get full scholarship, no scholarship in UK schools. 2 Likes |

Go for direct entry. Bsc. Even if its starting all over again in another course do it. I still regret doing PGD today. I wish I knew better when younger. Many of my mates that we did PGD together have gone back for bsc now. Don't ever be tempted to do that PGD shit. If It's not Bsc it can never be Bsc. The discrimination of HND and regret aftermath no be here. Having Bsc And HND will be an advantage for you at the long run. There are some opportunities abroad (Jobs, scholarships or even further studies) or some other vital Places, its BSC they want, You are still young some your age are still in school so no qualms. 1 Like |

Well you are not alone in this situation but the truth is whether you have a BSc or HND or even Msc, the whole world is tilting towards globalization and entrepreneurship.
The labour market is hyper saturated and at a breakup point. Secondly the salary package for a BSc or HND holder can hardly survive a bachelor how much more a family ,man this is why many youth cannot afford marriage now.
However, go for professional skill acquisition training with credible certification that has potential to make you your own boss. Skill is the future .
This is exactly what i did as a BSc holder 5 yrs ago and it paid off handsomely.
SKill in heavy machinery operation, drone pilot ,graphic design and many more....if you acquire this skills with global certification you become a hot cake in the global labour market.. All these have immediate money spinning and lucrative prospects within and abroad.
Go get a skill that could make you your own boss... You can learn it as part time while you keep your fingers in a 9 to 5 job until you test the waters before finally zero in your mind on which route suit you most..
wish you the best.. cheers |

Dear OP, let me tell you something a person with HND with no hope or chance of getting a BSC will never tell you. There is a lot of humiliation that comes with an HND result even with a distinction. A lot of people make distinction in polytechnics nowadays which further goes along way to batter the credibility of the system ( no disrespect to those on merit). I have people with HND results and who had wished they had obtained their BSC after their ND but now they would have to live with the stigma and traumatizing experience all their life. I also went to a polytechnic for my ND before I was forced through economy and financial blockage to get a direct entry form because I was hell bent on going for HND( everybody was against me going for HND). I thought I was been punished because my class mates as at then had all been admitted for HND1 while I had to start from 200level. But over the years my dear, looking back now all I could do was shade tears of joy for all the guidance and mentorship I had receive then. I am about to write my final exams before they went on strike. And do you know the funny thing here? My class mates at poly ( some) came back after NYSC for BSC through DE. And they are in 200level, the same department and I have been putting them through because there was a lot of task ahead for them. They always say," I wish I was you, or I wish I had taken this step long time ago"... OP if you wish to run a DE into UNN and you need all the direction and requirements pls do not hesitate to let me know. Yours Best Friend Local emperor. 1 Like |

Make money or go for masters abroad lots of schools accept HND. My school present VC got his master's abroad with an HND, is uneducated people who think you can't get master's abroad with HND, BSC is not equal with HND it's rather lesser to HND in science and engineering field. The dull idiots claiming hnd is rubbish are still illiterates. In my first Agro firm then as OND preparing for HND doing 2nd 1year I.T we were training bsc final year students in the farm, we want insult them die, the idiots did not know what day old chicks are, they don't know brooding or brooder pens, they messed things up until the owner of the farm then stopped admitting bsc final year students, as an HND Agriculturist from my experience bsc people are always the dumbest. All they know is theory which is completely useless in real life, I have seen countless BSc graduates who cannot identify Day-old chicks let alone raise day old chicks but an OND holder doing his IT has already raised day old chicks to point of lay, at hnd level his already into animal feed formulation, animal treatment, breeding and cross breeding programmes and all major Agro skills are already what they're used to. You're a fhuckin graduate and served no idiot can tell you that you're not a graduate, get rid of low self esteem, in engineering field bsc people are also widely rejected for HND engineers. So bsc is more useless than HND except for govt jobs where the discrimination exists even though it has been equalized by law and only lazy people seek for such jobs, Just go to school and study something reasonable, thats very important, if someone like Obasanjo is HND holder and he ruled Nigeria or Buhari with no certificate is ruling, then why worry about bsc? Life must always have discriminations and you will encounter them no matter your certificate, economic or social status. Just thank God for good health above all things and make money I'm an HND holder, Proud successful Agriculturist with high charges for my services, served my nation and very proud.
