aysnoopy: Despite my writing limitations, I hope you'll overlook any errors and focus on my message. I completed my civil engineering studies and finished my service year in November 2016. I'm based in Ibadan.
In February 2018, I secured a connection with the zonal director of a federal government agency, leading to a casual staff position with a monthly stipend of 20k. The initial plan was to gain an advantage for future employment opportunities. By around 2020, the salary increased to 30k.
After three years with the agency, I learned about an upcoming recruitment in 2021. Despite seeking assistance from my boss, the zonal director, she didn't provide the support promised. Although I continued working and searching for other jobs, success eluded me.
In November 2022, my boss retired, and the new zonal director pledged support for my education, leading to my admission into a HND to B.Eng conversion program at KWASU. The sponsorship continued under another new director, but my concern persists due to the stagnant 30k salary, supplemented irregularly with site visit stipends.
Now faced with the decision to quit, I ponder whether to risk unemployment and search for a better opportunity or endure the current job's limitations, considering my advancing age. Despite ongoing self-improvement efforts and learning civil engineering software, I seek advice on whether to pursue a new job or maintain my current position during the B.Eng program.

It's highly likely that if u continue u won't get another job easily. But if u quite it's highly likely that u get another quicker.

You're much more predictable than you think. Your story seems to be a plea for a new job rather than advice. I think you want your request for advice to teach the front page so that you can field job offers.
If that's your intention, I can hardly fault your motives. But your strategy is missing a key ingredient: value.
In your write-up, all you've stated is what you're looking for. So far, it seems the only value ( that you offer your current employer ) is worth 30K.
You're yet to articulate the value anyone would benefit from you when they hire you. Can you bring in revenues worth ten times your expected salary? Do you have skills that can translate into cost savings worth ten times your wages?
Why would any organisation want to hire you? I'll be honest, from my personal experience, most of my HR problems have stemmed from hiring men in their mid thirties who have degrees, not skilled and yet too old to follow instructions from bosses younger than them.
So here's my advice:
First, don't be quick to leave your current job. If you have time, I'll advice you to listen to this conversation about a contract banker earning 70K who quit his job. Learn from his experience what not to do.
Second, what tangible income-earning, revenue-driving, and/or cost savings skills can you acquire in your current job. I came across this conversation aimed at recent graduates on nairaland. If you can patiently listen beyond the first 7-10 minutes, it should provide advice that is relevant to your job situation.
Third, if you're an engineer, you should be going to conferences: engineering, energy, power, infrastructure and building conferences. That's where you will find new opportunities and meet employers in emerging engineering fields. Again, here's a video to show how that process could look like.
If I understand your writeup, you are currently being sponsored in school, I will advise you to complete it and leave the country, by any means, just leave.
If I understand what you wrote correctly ... you were given a stipend of N20K which was increased to N30K after two years. How much has the stipend increased for Corps over two years? Stipend is not the same as salary ... but in your write up they are the same. Your employer is sponsoring your education ... do you know how much it cost? Would you have afforded to sponsor yourself? Aren't you still being sponsored? If you quit ... are they still going to continue sponsoring you? Do you think your new employer will pick up your sponsorship? Would you be able to finance your education? Millions are dreaming of finding a sponsor ... you have one ... who is also giving you pocket money ... but that's not good enough for you. My advice... go out and hustle .... selling pure water or whatever.... is it a must to be an employee? Quit and your eyes will clear .... maybe only then you will see how fortunate you are in your present employment ... and how short sighted you are in making decisions.
Someone on a 30k job being run concurrently with a course in a university is here lamenting and A GOOD Samaritan is advising him to be attending conferences. Attend conferences with which money? Are conferences cheap?
It can only be on Nairaland.

You have gather the courage and leave the job. I can attest to you that you can't get a job, still doing that one. Am talkingwith experience. Sit and calculate what you do and work towards it. With consistency, you will scale through

Una don come again. If it's easy to leave the country by any means, Nairaland would have shut down.
Griffon: It can only get bad bro, 30k can barely feed a single person speak more of your aging mother and sister.
This country has been sold.
You either stay on the job, while investing a portion of your salary in learning a high in demand skills like web designing etc, or you move back to the streets, hit some cash and leave this cesspit.

4 years later, they’ll add another 10k to your salary and you will continue to struggle ti you breed kids and then start projecting your aspirations upon them.
