It does really matter much.You can read a different course and learn programming and even be better than smn who read computer science..most guys who are good in program didn't even read computer science after all

Abduletudaye:


Ok...thanks for the advice..

As long as you have a personal computer, internet access, books and the right softwares and also the ability to solve problems.. Programming shouldn't be a problem.

Niit is also good.But you can do a lot on your outside the conventional class....remember programming is not not engineering or architecture where you need cert.b4 jobs get to you.

Once u are good jobs will.come

No wonder I have been seeing cheap figures as monthly salary in here.

Don't let anyone deceive you o!

While its true as it is written... 'seest thou a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings' ergo know-how is the selling point in IT... Certifications are used as a quick way to filter applications.

Other companies see it as a statement of character and more times than not it would get you through the door to showcase your skill

That is arrant nonsense, and a reason why many Nigerian programmers are poor and remain poor. I once had that thinking, therefore I became extra good - in fact too good for my own liking (I am a web-developer that can use multiple technologies - all the way from asp, perl, php, asp.net, MEAN STACK, at the same time a software developer (whether windows/mac osx), and also with a very strong foot in native mobile application development) - all that one na just tales by moonlight, yeah, it did not help me due to that arrant nonsense thinking of - if you are good.

Yeah, even if you are good - the naija companies will offer you nonsense salary. The last company that tried to employ me wanted to pay me 100k / month.

Abduletudaye:

Huh? Really?

Well, na so we see am o.

The summary of all this is that - the programmers that make money the most in Nigeria ARE NOT EMPLOYED ON A MONTHLY SALARY.

So as a beginner, where do i start?

You need to start from the begining - which is to acquire your basic skills. Then you climb up the ladder, nothing wrong with doing employment work mind you - just that it is better to be an entrepreneur if you have got what it takes.
