Re: Obtaining Msc Only Increases Your Hope Of Getting A Job by RuggedArab: 12:01pm On Aug 12, 2016
I will start with the benefits of getting M.sc:

1. It stands you out.
2. It makes you more professional.
3. It makes you an expert in that field.
4. It enhances your career.
5. It brings promotion fast.
6. Enjoy higher job security and lower unemployment.
7. You Master skills that open doors to more challenging and satisfying work.
8. It earns you competency and trust.
9. It gives you CLASS.
10. It widens your knowledge.

Just to mention but a few.......

Yes! some will say who masters degree epp? I'll tell you that it has helped so MANY people. Show me any Managing Director or Chairman of any VERY BIG organisation without a masters degree. So many people; entrepreneurs, businessmen, founders of organisation have seen the need to acquire more knowledge by getting post graduate degrees.

It depends on the mindset of an individual, it is your choice of course ...... you can decide to be where you are. I am not saying without postgraduate degree you cannot make money or be rich. The average mindset here thinks why waste money and time to do masters (It is never a waste) when my first degree i suffered to get can land me a job. Yes, your first degree can get you a job, your professional certification can also get you a job, but your postgraduate degree can push you steps further with promotions.

I have seen admirable senior colleagues with very nice career path with postgraduate degrees soaring high like phoenix. I have a friend who was working with a financial firm before he resigned and went for his masters; If this guy apply for any of these financial firm, they will give him position 2x where he was. Where i was working before my current job, I got admission to study Control & Instrumentation but I could not continue because of my new job and the location was kinda far. I have reapplied again hopefully to begin next academic session. I don't mind if I have no option than to resign and finish this one which was the first mistake I did. People get scared with what if after the program I don't get a job? I bet you, if you know what you are doing and you know what you studied.... you will surely get a better job. Employers are crazy people..... they will always look for ways to relief or sack employees. I have a policy; I don't allow employers sack me, I sack employers with my wealth of experience and knowledge; before they know it, my CV is out and the next job is waiting while I tender my resignation. That's how I roll.

90% of Nigerians graduates undertake MSc because of no job or better paid jobs . I have friends that work in multinational oil companies, they don't even talk of MSc reasons best known to them. Graduates should acquire skills rather than pursue white collar jobs that are scarce.i was jobless for 2yrs as an electrical/electronic engineer with a good result.i decided to enrol for internship on house and industrial wiring, cctv installation, solar power installation and so on.... . I have a registered business name, bid for contracts, execute jobs in thousands and millions. You young Nigerian youths, get a skill and expand your frontiers

Tomaxzyn1:

Bro, u simply reiterated what the OP said that: the M.Sc only raises ur hopes. That is quite a realistic perspective
Speaking of relevance;
1. Your academic relevance doesn't get u d job, it's the employment letter that does.
2. Your academic qualification is only relevant to who needs it. So, don't disillusion urself with the idea of feeling more relevant than the B.Sc others. I guess u've never missed a juicy job opportunity becoz the employers see u as OVER-QUALIFIED.
You have points, I was only saying that M. SC. holders without work experience are still more relevant that those with B. Sc without work experience who graduated almost same time. But it seems that you guys could not decode that from my posts. And many of you have been calling for my head. I remain dogged and will continue to bash anyone who bashes me as long as the time permit me . Thanks...

This is the normal excuse, you dont need million to start a trade. For example, Get a Nigerian used Ford Galaxy for =N=350k, you can convince family and friends to assist and schedule a repayment plan for one year. Get it registered in a park and drive the car yourself with good maintenance culture. I assured you, you will make not less than =N=60k every month and over =N=100k during peak period and pay back the fund you borrowed

You can get your business fund from this simple analysis.

Now ask a normal Nigerian graduate if he can do this, the usual answer is No, How can I be a common driver with my Bsc, Msc, etccc
Bro, you just nailed it. No pain no gain. I have decided to put BSc behind me o. Pride and arrogance is the problem of many graduates now, na xo xo big big oyinbo we go dey talk while that young welder on the road side without a good WAEC result is making his money.

What is this one saying? I don't blame you cos it seems you did a non practical course for your BSc degree. I went for my msc in Electrical engineering after 2 years working experience and by God's grace, I graduated with a PhD grade even after a low 2.2 BSc grade.

I have a friend who was working with a financial firm before he resigned and went for his masters; If this guy apply for any of these financial firm, they will give him position 2x where he was which is a gain/plus for him. Where I was working before my current job, I got admission to study M.Tech Control & Instrumentation but I could not continue because of my new job and the location was kinda far and it is a full-time program. I have reapplied again hopefully to begin next academic session. I don't mind if I have no option than to resign (that's worst case) and finish this one which was the first mistake I did. People get scared with "what if after the program I don't get a job?"

That's how I roll.

My advise to you out there, if you are a career person and wish to further your education and enhance your skills; do it before you start working. It is not easy working and doing a full-time masters program. Let no one discourage you that it is not worth it. For you that is working and thinking if it is worth it... yes it is worth it. so many have combined the two together and I know it is not easy but you can do it. For those of you waiting for that job that is not forthcoming, you can take up the challenge too while you wait for the job; before you know it you are almost done with the program with no time lost. They will discourage you not to, but even the rich without undergraduate or postgraduate degree envy and admire you with degree. Masters degree is a prestige!

Finally, study selling courses like Engineering, Law, Medicine, MBA.... Etc.

There's much truth in what the OP said. In the past, the prerequisite to getting a job in most companies was an O' level result. Fast forward to today and you need an MSc or a higher qualifications for the same position.
I've always opined that the way to go for young graduates isn't the MSc route. An MSc doesn't make you any much better or extraodinary than a BSc holder. Remember the MSc is an addition of three semesters to your BSc...
My advice to young graduates has always been this: identify an area you'd like to specialize, volunteer to work for free or on internship basis, gather as much experience as you could possibly get and do lots of certifications. Hopefully you'd get your big break as you acquire more experience. Remember, companies pay you for what you can do and not the book knowledge you accumulated in school. You can always do an MSc much later...by then you'd appreciate whatever you are taught there.

They are complaining there is no job and no chance for experience, but when you give them little advice that can eventually change their life they brush you aside because they have masters which to me is another worthless piece of paper.

I advised two graduates recently , one masters the other bsc with welding skills to go with it I told them to look for very company they intend to work for and request to work for free (yes for free, volunteer). The masters guy brushed me aside because he though with his piece of paper every one will present him with a job, suit and tie, the other guy called me after 6 months and said guy I have been begging this one gate man at hercules offshore to help me submit my application for volunteer welder at hercules with no success, I told him I have a friend who works there, if you want to be a volunteer I can help, but real job, my leg no reach there.

Two weeks later the guy got a volunteer job as a welder 6 months later they staffed him at another company when they saw his hercules experience, now he is taking professional under water welding courses, I have told him to look into six sigma courses so he can be oil industry's hot cake.

The masters guy is still roaming about screaming on top of his lungs "AM A MASTERS DEGREE HOLDER WITHOUT A JOB" who cares ?if with all your masters you can't create a job from nothing, wipe your ass with that certificate and go get a skill or better still run into a cave and stop keeping us in the third world arena. Because you nothing but a caveman, Nonsense.
It's very unfortunate that some people don't know what they want.
I personally, with over 7 years experience in Customer Service still take time out of my busy schedule from my present job to volunteer with some organizations in different industries so as to enable to switch career.

Bros, you are only more relevant than us in lecturing jobs and mind you, if you don't have 2.1 in your Bsc, you may not even be considered in lecturing jobs.

So the most important certificate you need for entry level jobs is Bsc, Msc is just to acquire more certificates which is usually not sacrosanct.

I finished service last three months and I rather not do Msc than wasting my time acquiring Nigerian Msc.

Nigerian Msc guarantees nothing because you will still be subjected to the same recruitment process with Bsc holders.
