Hi nairalanders,
I urgently need your input and counsel.

My younger brother happened to have ran into an old friend who is doing well for himself. From their last meeting, the friend promised to help him further his studies on the condition that the course or skill of interest will be the one that will help him achieve financial stability. And told him to go think about it and get back to him, latest next week.

This is because he has little time to spend in the country.

When my brother told me about it, I advised him to go for MSc in Chemistry, preferably Analytical chemistry in UniLag, though he wanted to go the tech route, preferably BIG DATA analytics or Software engineering.

I told him to go for the Analytical Chemistry , as it will be cheaper and he can easily get a lot of school options, like UniBen, UI, UniLag, etc. And he can easily get a decent job with it, without much stress.

Unlike BIG DATA or other related IT courses that are very expensive and their skill acquisition centres being very hard to find (I mean the very good ones).
And of which getting a job is very stressful, as it requires a lot of processes and procedures, especially for the remote jobs.

Please did I advise him well or he should go for his Tech related courses?

He is 33years and he has been a tutor ever since he graduated from the University.

Thank you.

Please let him go for a tech course.
Google courses to be precise, he doesn't need to go to any skill acquisition center.
He just needs data and laptop.
I wish I knew these things 2 or 3 years ago, I for no dey stress myself dey find medicine.

People are still asking this question in 2022?

What is wrong in asking this question?

My elder sister who introduced me to Tech but stopped some years back still asked me this for her kids. People need to know if they are doing the right thing.

There is nothing wrong in Analytical Chemistry, but have you checked the job prospects for it?

Compare the job prospects for both and make your decision. Tech related courses are always lucrative and jobs are available every where.

The fact that OP wants his 33-year-old brother (age discrimination exists in the real industry, something that is nonexistent in the digital economy) even to opt to run his MSc program in public universities that have been on strike for close to six months is hilarious and outright stoopid!

For someone with zero knowledge of any Tech skill, also in my mid 30's and a very "humble" financial power, please what are the possibilities of getting a skill, (on a budget not more than a 100k including gadgets and data) and making a decent amount of money in the next 12 months?

And also what are skills I should consider ?
Abeg make una help me, street hustle don dey tire me.

I just paid for a course with UTIVA myself, Data Analytics fast track course, 80k for 8weeks...i'm positive it will be money well spent.

You might want to consider it, Classes starts by Aug 6.

If the person is really willing to help with the financing, tell your brother to go for the tech..
He should apply to Decagon institute for a 6-months software engineering training. But their fee is 3million naira, but mehn he will never regret dis decision
