seguno2: If the four years were a waste, then the graduate has no business going for a degree in the first place. However, you are right that vocational training is the right strategy to follow for a secured future. 1 Like 1 Share |

dipznano:Darling, dont accept being mediocre. Being basic and mediocre will not get you far in life. Just because a company doesnt require experience at entry level, doesn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't choose someone who has over you. Grades are not pratical. You have to set yourself apart in the employement world, esp in this day. So many 1st class holders with no employment because they think 'grades' only, will take them far. Think outside of the box, it's a characteristic of successful people. 1 Like |

Fantastic2m: No it is not, as the number of graduates increase, the job market can't keep up with the supply. A similar problem is obtained in US where some graduates end up taking up jobs for non-degree workers. Technical skills is the way to go. 1 Like |

Go try apprenticeship with college degree and see yourself play catch up throughout your life. The scenario is on play now. Go ask those that learnt roadside mechanic how their jobs have been taken by their college degree counterparts. |

Safiaa: Dear, there is no form of mediocrity in my thinking + I'm neither basic nor simple. What I am trying to point out is, don't ever give up on a college degree! At the moment I'm gaining experience from one of these companies, trust me in a matter of years I could peel off and either venture into entrepreneurship or seek greener pastures. My point is, I dint favour apprenticeship over a college degree to gain experience or fend for myself; rather I chose a college degree which is in turn paying me very well and equipping with over x3 the knowledge an apprentice will gain in the same time frame. However, you may be right to conclude 'it won't work for you that way'... |

dipznano:Thats great for you. What works for a will not work for b. With the unemployment rate reaching 20% in nigeria, there's obviously an issue. It would make more sense to get a degree and possibly try out an apprenticeship after. Therefore you have the best of both worlds. But i still believe apprenticeships are more beneficially in this day and age, that's if i had to choose one. Building your skills rather than grades is more beneficial in the long run. |

i really think you should do more research before posting, this may really be misleading, tho there are advantages of apprenticeship, doesn't necessarily mean it's better, a college degree isn't for everyone too..it also has its advantages , you just have to find out what works for you..doesn't mean one is better than the other, I can't blame you for this tho, this is how you understand things, but there's usually more to life than meets the eye...do more research 1 Like |

As much as apprenticeships are good, no one should ever say that college education is a waste. It's only a waste to those who are waste themselves |

[quote author=Mustiboy post=58402714]I'm currently an apprentice learning phone engineering. I make money, though not much, but it does satisfy some of my wants. We make about #5,000 a day on average. And sometimes, we make almost #10,000. All the money is my boss' own though and he gives us stipends not so often. That's about #200k he makes in a month. Learning a skill is the best. In addition, I'm also an aspirant of a university and I'm sure to get an admission with my performance in the just concluded utme exams. I'll use my acquired skill to feed myself in the University .[/quote we are in de same shoes boss ,nah my own boss …… |
