Bross na beg i take beg you...Finish your school first.

If you can help it, stay in school. A degree isn’t the end all be all (particularly in the line of work you’re pursuing) but it will make it a lot easier to get hired to be honest.

Merry Christmas

Going through same challenge with you lol...
School don tire me, Na to drop out dey my mind but I'm still praying to God to reveal himself to me.

Business is all I'm thinking about now...

If a man can see the future and consequence of his every action then I believe no man will make a mistake but nature never design it that way.

After my ssce I join my uncle in business and was making enough money and even open account with two different bank but my aspiration was to go to school. after I wrote jamb and pass, my uncle who I was doing the business with began to advice me seriously to forget about school and make enough but I never listen and instead I thought he was just jealous although he is also a graduate but no job made him start the business which later benefit him.

Fast forward to months later I got admission and spent almost all my money for school expenses and rent because my parents were poor and am even the first child of the family so I did all the admission expenses with my saving .then I return to square one with hunger in school just in the name of university education which I later regret.

Am currently in 200 level but the funny thing is that I have lost all passion for school and don't even like going for lectures. The regret is still eating deep in me because with the way I see graduate living in peanut salary I ask myself what stupid enthusiasm even push me to school. please am thinking of dropping out of school now and to use this 100k which my aunty in London sent for me to continue in business and then later learn a skill in IT instead of wasting it to pay for school fee.

Please I will need advice from you all.

Don't drop out... I'm also in the same situation now and the funny thing is that I also started having that temptation since when am in my 200L; was making a shit load of money then. After getting to 300L, I decided to drop out because I got tired of the system; I can't say this is what I have learnt so far In school with respect to my course (Robotics and Automation) . After so much persuading from lecturers and my parents then, I was convinced not to drop out, so I continued but trust me I give it less attention; most of my attention is making money while still schooling at the same time.

It wasn't a very easy task especially when you are the only one catering for yourself; I have been there. I'm in my 400L now and I only have just one year left to go.

The point is: graduate with whatever grade you can and focus more on your business; even if it's a third class you graduated with, it doesn't mean, just have the certificate.

Good luck brother

If you want to be rich and happy don't go to school.
Name one billionaire professor.

Don't be slow. That's not a smart way to look at this.
Becoming rich is never the primary goal of the academic profession. What we do leaves little time to pursue wealth creation in and of itself.
Why don't you flip the question and ask: how many billionaires do you know who never went to school

You are on your own

ok let's see it from both perspectives

Education is important not schooling. schooling is only important for certificate

Acquiring education outside the classroom is possible. However, structured education is usually feasible only in the classroom (which makes schooling important)

Acquiring wealth to ease one's life is the most important thing everyone wishes for. So, starting a business is cool. However, there are additional knowledge you would gain that can improve your business if you study what you have a passion for in the university (not what you were given to study).

In summary, if you have the means to start the business and continue the schooling, it's ok. If you don't have such means, acquiring money is more important, but never underestimate schooling not certificate. You should acquire more knowledge when you have the chance, either online or offline school.

Once again, wealth is more important, but education (not certificate) is a ladder to success and exposure

OP am in your position too and 200 level two..have stopped attending lectures and planning on dropping out this 2019..for me you are making a good decision..school is not everything..we go to sch to make money and we can as well dropout and use the time spent in sch and nysc grow your business and skills..school is not the measurw of riches or wealths but your smartness.

dude.... i will mere admonished you to thoroughly complete your first degree, regardless of low scanty of job in our country....no job today doesn't mean it won't surplus tomorrow and yet we all know Education is the best legacy, just like what you Said that you are in your second year in the University, it only remnant more two years to complete the program.... and for the business you have passion for you can go on with it but make sure you first sort your education bills before you move on with it
my brother, i implore you not to drop out of school. don't noticing to those misleading advice.

if u are doing well academically and well motivated, it's OK u continue, but if not u may pull out

One thing about higher education is that it's not running away. If you feel like you are done with it, kindly drop out and start business. Reading your write up, it seems you are fed up with school, oga kindly withdraw and start a business for now. Later when u have made enough money, you can always go back to school! You are already a good businessman so I say go for the business.

School is less about teaching you domain expertise for your chosen profession, and more about teaching you how to think. Evidence of domain expertise is usually a requirement for employment, which is the primary reason why most students endure schooling just to get the certificate that serves as that evidence.

The certificate has limited value for people who intend to be self-employed, but even for them, attending a good school can fundamentally shape their ability to reason, and propel them to greater success faster than if they depend on native wit.

So, the question of whether going to school is worth it or not depends on many factors. Are blessed with sound critical faculties or do you need formal education to help develop them? Are you desirous of and capable of being self-employed? Are you capable of generating and commercializing anything original, or should you depend on being a cog in a much larger system (i.e. should you pursue a paid job)?



* school/schooling as used here means tertiary education

My Sincere advice for u brother hmmm.....Education is the best as we all know but in Nigeria of today it's not really encouraging, if it's possible for u to transfer ur admission to any of the private university running part-time program is good but if it's not possible.... take a BOLD step to drop out school then u concentrate on business for that 3/4yr left for u to spend in university cos of the system u will spend another 3yrs if u are in 200level plus ur NYSC 4yrs,approximately within that 4yrs if u know what u are doing u must av bn in good shape and possibly next yr or upper yr u can try any of the private university like OPEN UNIVERSITY, NOUN etc.

Stop running around, finish your studies, then go back to business

tommyken:

its B.sc(Ed) statistics/computer science.

Guy, leave that school or find a way to study part-time and do your business. Your uncle is right! Education today is not necessary to be successful.

Guy you have gone far to look back.

aaronson:
Wow, You such a critical thinker buddy, I approve of your decision however Education is important. Here is how you go about it, Start a business from the money you were sent and soon as that business starts flourishing, Sign up for a part time program around your city or Noun university. By so doing, you killed two birds with one stone and congratulations, You just made life easier for yourself knowing the fact that most graduates earn peanuts.

Ops, follow this advice

Which nonsense school?If you go to Alaba,Ladipo or Lagos Island and see ordinary primary sch holders controlling millions and paying salaries of the so called graduates,you would understand and know what to do.Thank you.

Not everyone prospers in business. Know what works for you. In the midst of lamentations of lack of jobs. Some people did what actually was right by getting a skill while in school and still finished tops in school and are working and doing fine with the substinence of the acquired skills to there degree. Don't be in a haste. Dont lose out on both ends and return crying foul. You can learn a skill that brings a unique solution to your environment while schooling. There are jobs, just you need the experience and most organisation lack funds to plunder on trainings. Get a skill while schooling and even get a small evening or weekend job, equip yourself, phone repairs, computer repairs, tailoring, event management, printing, graphics and web design etc are a few skills to mention you can brush yourself up on or betterstill a professional certification. Good thing is you can still be a business man with your skills after school or it will boost your chances of securing a good job. Don't make a quick decision you might regret later.

Biz sure pass.....education na b d way....get your kpali and develop yourself, my brother concentrate on your biz.

Bro!
As long as you can read and write to defend your transactions..pls concentrate on ur business!

My 2cents!

Going to the university is my second biggest regret in life....the first is wasting time to study hard and graduate with a good grade.

CityNGR:

You cannot start a biz empire absent relevant education

Schooling is not education, and education is not schooling

There are tons of educated people without a degree or diploma There are tons of schooled folks that are plain dumb

Pick a book and read When you're done, pick another book and read Make it a lifestyle

That's education Empty brain with degrees has nothing to do with education

But come to think of it, whats the essense of going to sch just for the certificate and then keep it somewhere to be running ur own biz and making money? Kini koko pali?

Abi?

It's just for the ego A PhD holder working for an SSCE holder This is what we see all over the world

I think all one needs is to learn a trade and get things going, just as they use to do in the east
