I think it's better you do your masters and hope that you will get a good job than hussling on a country that can deport you anytime if you don't get the required documents.

Going abroad is a better option but only if you have a better plan.
My two guys that went to Italy last year has just left there to Switzerland and Austria after get their papers.

Think wise bro.

All the best, may Chukwu Abiama bless your hustle.

We have the same story. I graduated with a 'draw' as you, my elder brother said I should prepare to go Italy but where my own is different is that I really don't know what we are going there for. He said hustle, and as you know, hustle can be anything you can think of.

Still don't write off your present 2.2 result, it can't still get you a good job bro.

Not asking you to do your masters or travel though

The money you will use to process ur visa and flight ticket can bribe ur way into our para military forces or in the academia (lecturing)

To me, travelling abroad is tantamount to gambling.

adren:
I am currently stucked in the middle with my head hurting so bad from thinking progressively..

I had a 2.2 in metallurgical and materials engineering and with this system of employment in nigeria- massive graduates, limited jobs, I must confess that i am forced to look elsewhere for my lifetime opportunities..

i believe in myself...YES i do!!! however, quite obviously, my chances of been gainfully employed are low, that is even if they meagerly exist..

so... i have made up my mind... perhaps, because i am still very young or because i am from a lowly background where my father nor my relative can give me a huge amount of money to start a lucrative business..therefore, i want to go all out by myself..

now.. i have two resolutions..

should i go for an eighteen months full time master program to supplement my 2.2 or take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go hustle for myself abroad..??

which is better??

matured advice needed with experiences...
how did you made it to the top on your own especially when you started from the rock bottom??

Mods please help a brother get to canaanland by doing the needful

Having masters in is to make money at the end
Travelling to Italy is also to make money at the end
Both have probability


So I think no venture to success
Fortune favours the brave

Hustle on what..
Italy is no better than Nigeria right now in job opportunities.

Do your masters if you can afford it.
You read a good course and with Masters and luck, you'll get something

U can hustle in Italy and still run ur masters program there, it's the wise choice...
Re: Advice Needed:a Masters Degree To Aid My 2.2 Or A Life-changing Trip To Italy? by scholes0(m): 9:23am On Nov 28, 2015
Italy is not exactly a very good country.
and they are having massive problems right now.


You better go do your masters man. At least when u are done, you can be sure to have conpleted something (a major step) in life.
Going to hustle in Italy, a backwater Southern European country that is right now on the edge and hostile to most things foreign (especially African) is a huge gamble with a lot of risk.

Italy is better, I want to believe there are more opportunities there, besides a masters here does not guarantee you a job but in Italy, hopefully with God on ur side, you can hussle hard and still do your masters over there

Go for your masters. You won't regret it in the long run.
Re: Advice Needed:a Masters Degree To Aid My 2.2 Or A Life-changing Trip To Italy? by Idrismusty97(m): 9:25am On Nov 28, 2015
What kind of hustle, You sound as if you want to take the desert to Italy. Everybody is hustling in Italy. If i were you i would just focus on my master degree. Since you sound as if you just made up the choice of going to Italy, It isn't like a limited choice so i assume Italy can wait. Many Nigerians think any other country apart from theirs is the key to success, The roads isn't plated with gold in Italy. They are many Nigerians abroad who are worst off than their counterparts in the country. You can make it in Nigeria, You can make it with that 2.2...Italy can wait.

Opportunity comes but once! Go to italy now and start a new life! Unemployment rate in nigeria is getting worst...ur master won't secure you a better job...I used to know someone maybe two with master degree, he lecture in a secondary school and was paid 20k...no age limit for masters...you can come back to do later...

My brother, think well. With the migrant crisis in Europe and the economic issues that would result from it, you need to look before you leap. If you want to hustle, wetin you wan go do for there? Wash plates? Sweep road? With a Masters degree here, you stand a better chance of employment. With it, you can enter other African countries and make a life.

Guy since you got a 2:2 in Met/mat, then Education might not be your calling. I don't think a masters will do you any good. Maybe travelling abroad.
But Italia? No way, Italy 's economy is no longer flourishing the way it was between the 1950s to 1990s. Most Africans in Italy end up being Robbers, prostitutes, house maids, drivers, waste collectors and e.t.c. A survey in 2012 even showed that 36% of prostitutes in Italy are Nigerians. So instead of Italia, I'll recommend
1. Australlia
2. United states
3. Canada
4 Germany
5. Malaysia
6.New zealand
7. Sweeden
8. France
9. Holland
10. The United kingdom.

What do u mean by hustle in Italy? Y not go do ur masters there or in one of these tuition free countries?
Re: Advice Needed:a Masters Degree To Aid My 2.2 Or A Life-changing Trip To Italy? by bobchigar(m): 9:32am On Nov 28, 2015
I think you should go for your Masters. That is self development which once you have it, it becomes part of you forever and you have prepared yourself for opportunity to come. But going to Italy which is not ur homeland may limit ur success chance there.

these countries uve just listed have outrageously expensive school fees for someone like op thatbintends to hustle.
Save for Germany and France. Some of these countries aren't even good for his course

Do a proper assessment of people who travel abroad, especially to the place to want to go to, and also on the hustling level you want to go with. Bad as home may be, there are some travelling where you go to place yourself in bondage.
I know some people will say being in bondage abroad is better than being at home and working towards success, that isn't my own mindset though.

I am not boasting brother. I think the advice I will give you will be sublime,informative and beneficial. I am a veteran traveler, a global trotter. The best place you can travel to is the Scandinavian regions which comprises Denmark,Finland,Sweden and Norway. Iceland is a no go area. I am schooling and also engaged in a profitable job which has dramatically changed ny fortune. Today I am sipping enough nectar from the roses of life.

Don't go to Italy because you will regret it. Except you want to go and start begging for you to be able to eat.

Any advice on best place to go and hussle kindly send mail to. uchechukwuobi@yahoo.com. It's Gratis

If only you know that there are thousands of beggers(all benin/Edo boys) in italy struggling for whom should occupy one traffic or supermarket entrance. Europe is not what you all think of. No employment opportunities here
