Good thread. An enlightenment to intenders. Give a little research before you study.

I'm both an Engineer and a Pharmacist.
Studied Materials Science and Engineering before proceeding for Pharmacy.
Nothing pass Engineering and Health fields, mother of all inventors/inventions
How did you do it sir?

Computer science is the deal but if you can't solve any real life problems you are your own. Even if you are not a computer scientist enroll yourself in professional courses if you want to Japa . I am doing well for myself with cyber security as a personnel and educator

I'm currently studying information technology and it remains four months for me to graduate. The problem is that I don't have a skill at all in the field because we always base on theory. After my degree, my plan is to go abroad and study cyber security in the uk in future... my question is, without a skill in information technology, what can I do with the information technology certificate in the uk? cry cry cry
Almost like someone without an education. Skills skills skills. That's all you need. You just have to figure how to develop skills.

I think cyber security will be better. How many months will it takes me to be perfect?

The pay in the UK isn't so great. Guess they have a relative low cost of living.

I know someone that studied Economics, currently living in UK. Why he never landed in the high paying job is what I don't understand 🤔
The guy go wait tire na. Most Nigerians don't do research before going to UK to study big fancy programs. Some have finished the so called programs that usually start with, "Applied" this and "Appplied" that, without any hope of getting a job in their fields. It's even worse in Canada. There are some that have finished their masters and gone back to do one year PSW or any other support work programs in colleges to land a job.

I had actually wanted to blame you but I just realized we are in Nigeria where everyone thinks Medicine is the only course that guarantees the future. Bro, outside some medical courses and Engineering no other course comes close to Economics in terms of marketability and opportunities, or building wealth. Most of the wealthy men in the world who couldn't study economics during their university days usually go back to Business school to learn the basics of economics and the applied part. I won't be surprised if you're an accounting graduate anyways. Bc only them can under value economics when most of them actually crossed from economics to accounting bc they couldn't cope with the mathematics and calculations involved
JASONjnr:
Economics?

I'd doubt this.

There are so many jobs over there that doesn't require degree and you can easily make lots of money.

In the west, your skills will pay you better than your degree.

You'd bary see an American having a degree but they're earning better and living better.

Most low paying job in the uk requires no degree or skills, they also have low barriers in entry because they are repetitive or either demand your physical strength and power

Is Software Development skill relevant in UK?

Somebody in UK said I should not learn it if I want to come to UK.

That I should go and learn Caregiving undecided
All I will tell you is that the person doesn't like you. Someone I know that dropped computer science because he was talked out of it by a family member in US is bitterly regretting now.

Have the following mindset, learning IT is a life long event, even as an expert in something, you still keep learning because it's such a dynamic field and the evolution is rapid.
Don't focus on how many months it will take you, if you really want to go on the journey just start it and keep learning. IT can give you success but it's not a shortcut, there's hardwork, consistency, frustrations.

But to sort of give a response to what you asked. If you keep working really hard and stay consistent, after 9 to 12 months Will you be an expert, most likely not but you will be able to tell your employer, I can do this and that on your IT Infrastructure and it can save you this amount. And that's basically all you need to get a job

Realistically, your chances of getting jobs with those courses here in the UK, is slim.

Surely, nobody told you to learn caregiving instead of software engineering/development. Absolutely no one.

Some valid points but here in the UK, your economics degree won't cut it. Accounting with up to date tech tools to analyse accounting information still stand a better chance.

Nothing beats health and engineering courses then finance
