Do I still need to go to university or learn a skill? by bernardluccky(op):
Hello I need help and advice, I attended a private maritime academy after being brain 🧠 watched that I will get a job after graduating from the institution unknown to me that the school is not accredited.

And now my dad friend called me to rewrite jamb and go to Ambrose Alli university for another four years to study computer science
and am 22 years old now.
but to me I feel like it will be better if I learn a skill instead.

So I need your advice on here.

If you have what it takes to go to school, go to school. School won't stop you from learning a skill, you can do both..... And studying computer science is a good skill of it's own.

You are still young at 22, had my first degree at 28, you are not old, computer science is a skill of it's own if you truly concentrate in class

Go back to school, you are still young bro. You can still learn a skill during the holidays to keep yourself busy.
