Studied Environmental Biology, worked as a Front Desk/Customer Service Officer, had to quit because of unfavourable working condition.

Still applying for job grin, but want to learn one or two IT skills, that will enable me freelance.
I need advise on which to go for; digital marketing, graphics, programming.
Note: I don't have any prior knowledge of them

Very interesting post and I think I will add one or two things . Decades ago,I told some friends that very soon chasiers and bank work will be contracted and outsourced and that a mechanical engineer can easily become a Bank manager ,it was at a time when Bank workers were getting loans and selling their properties to fund their education to become a chartered banker.
Secondly I told so people in a conference that becoming a Chartered Accountant will soon become a wasted efforts since what companies require is an accountant that is ready to work towards a pre defined figures of profit and loss ,in essence cooking the books and defending it . Such companies are the one that are witnessing patronages all over .
In fact there are number of software that can audit and balance the most difficult account and even point out fraud and error .
In essence Nigeria is becoming a country where you will only use what you have as talent to eat and live .When you now study a course that matches your talent ,you will be making money as if you are not working . It is not by strength or sheer mathematical precision in your academic career that will give you comfort .Lots of Nigeria are lazy in reading and forecasting the trends most especially universities students mosly preoccupied with C Soweto and Aluta jingles.
You will suffer till you die if you ever listen to any one or lectures on socialism or egalitarianism. The world is moving toward the survival of the fittest .Nothing will disturb you from making your money if you have the talents and abilities. You take it to a premium level if your background education is in line with your talent
Don't go to school for the purpose of just getting admission, No. Of what value are you to your parents after taking a Master Degree in fine arts and still taking subsidy from your parents and relation to support your marriage .
Instead of wasting years on a unproductive course ,get something to learn that fit your interest and at the opportune time you will get admission to read your preferred course. In fact who is forcing you inside jail as a full time student, if you have a good business ? Go for part time courses sandwich and Distance learning and keep your business or vocation in full working mode .
As for those who are graduates of political science and any be going for their PhD with the hope of getting selected as a Senator,you are dreaming ,once you find yourself as a graduate in awkward courses, please take the fast and choose a new field by learning or associating with those who can put you through .
I was using an office in Ikeja some years back ,the entire floor is made up of system engineers and telecommunication. You know what is funny ,of the around 40 of us working there who are friends or friend of friend ,nobody did a course pertaining to the field . Some graduated in Agric, biochemistry, accounting, language arts, classics , vetinary medicines , lab tech and others .Even some lawyers who don't want to die in poverty or engage in legal fraud giving them embarrassment now go for business that is fitting into their interest .
So don't let your children get admission for the sake of admission, study the trends in business and development, read widely and observe global trends and don't allow your children to be idle . Lastly in anything you do ,do it differently, use your education to give packaging so as to command premium on your charges .
You are free to ask questions or clarifications

Did you learn software engineering yourself or did you go to a school for this?

Studied English and Literature, but to survive and make it in Nigeria, you must be multi-talented and creative.

You don't stay in one spot watching a masquerade.

I studied English and literary studies but I am now an artist.

University education is highly overated in this part of the world.. I graduated 12 years ago,since then,nothing to show for it..

One small boy that did boi boi in my town has built a house in Lagos and he is currently building one in the villa..
All I can boast of is one nonsense certificate with no values..

And someone is asking me to go for my masters...

Masters ko,slave ni!

Lets embrace vocational education. ..
Thats the in thing right now..

And you think that small boy shouldn't have done the same thing if he went to school?
You also think all the people who did boy boy as you call it are all successful?
