kachiz:


Those are all nice skills in the Freelance world. You are going to have to start from one

Chommieblaq:


Thanks
I want to start with one I can easily afford and that's won't be difficult for me to catch up with as a beginners, so should I give programming a shot?

Naaah I didn't in either place.

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

I studied, not 'studies'. I am, not 'am'

I don't blame the government on your case.
I blame you.

Why acquire so much knowledge on Mechanism and then decide to dump it for sowing?

Do you know how much Auto/truck mechanics, repairers of AC/refrigerators, heavy duty generators, elevators etc make in a month

If you truly know your worth, you would drop that shirt branding, stop looking for jobs and humbly learn how to fix machines.

WAKE UP!!! Hope this guy will be humble enough to take this your valuable advice.

JayJustus:



You my friend will go places!!

Back in 2013 when I told my friends I was gonna be studying hospitality management. They laughed at me...like what can you do? someone even asked me "so you're gonna be managing a hospital?" Pushed on!! Noticed the trend in Nigeria changed...everyone was moving into events management...events centres were on the rise...learnt alot on events working part time for a start-up...brushing my cooking skills on the side...after my degree in Msia, came back to Nigeria and used one year to learn a lot of skills ...brushed up more on my cooking...gave out a lot of free samples, got cheated in the process...as God would have it I landed a job in the US...my industry and now I handle a whole department in a ski resort...

if only Nigerians can sit down, have patience and learn some skills... University education is just too basic for anything...times have changed and we gotta work with the trends...still coming back to Nigeria with a bang to startup again!!! THE MONEY MUST BE MADE!!

I studied B. Sc. Accounting, had a good result (2:1), but my whole being is soaked in music production. That's where I see my future. I don't see myself practicing accounting for a lifetime. I may just do it for a few years and stop to pursue my dream squarely.
Ps: I'm still a serving corper.
