You could take a transfer to NOUN. I dropped out this year after about 3 years in UI and I've never for once regretted it. I had this nudging in my spirit after my first semester that I was in the wrong place. I needed another type of education; professional and financial education. After I dropped out, I started buying financial books, studying, etc. I'm in a new town and I've seen a lot of opportunities and a lot of ground yet to explore. Since you have taken a liking to IT, pay a visit to NIIT. It's an information technology company, very prestigious around the globe. You can check on that. I plan on learning Java track software engineering there and I'd probably do data science later. I discovered that I needed to have a lot of edge whether to get employed or to own your business. I'm in NOUN and I'd probably do a Master's degree here after my bachelor's degree. You can also do this ICAN program for undergraduates. It's going to be a big boost for you. My advice for you is as you get academic education which to me isn't important, get financial and professional education with it. Those two are far more important than any certificate. NOUN is very flexible as it does not affect other aspects of your life in any way. Just focus, think, plan, strategize, ask for advice from either sides of your life and make your decision. I wish you all the best that life has to offer bro.

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.

Boy finish up with your school, I was in your shoe years back. You won't understand how the system works. Certificate is a big deal.

Before i tell you, let me shock you. Firstly remember that the bible said that we should not think of what we eat, drink, our body and what we wear. My dear if you venture into the aforementioned you will make it so well. People are more concerned about these things.

You can venture into dry cleaning business, sales of laptops and phones , rice business or frozen fish/ chicken business, Skincare bussiness. You mustn't have a shop for a start up. Shop money no be here ooo. Do what we call packaging. It has helped me a lot. Have your complementary card, your flyers, post online about the business. If you find any of interest. let me know, so as to elaborate more. Thanks. Success.

So how did you arrive at this " I earn what 2 professors earn?

I feel you are abroad and just converted your salary to naira?

Is that how much you know about economics?
yes.leys forget abt d conversion and what have u.if i do my business only without working.i will still make a net profit that is more than dat of a proffessor.even the people who re nt living abroad earn as much as that in their business ventures.jst that it might nt be stable. U can earn so much when business moves nd so little when it drops .d only advantage of a salary worker is that what ever they earn is fixed but a businessman depends on his strategy nd hardwork of which doesnt pay all d time.neymar isnt a graduate but can buy a university or build rather and employ the learned.he can still go to sch if he wishes there by getting both.leave neymar aside.seyi olofinjana.former nigerian midfielder is nt jst a graduate have masters degree
D boss i worked for then happens to be my uncle.dads kids brother.he finished with ist class in unn.but ended up doing business of which he still can pay 4 proffessors put together monthly (in nigeria oooo).am nt saying accademics is bad but its good when u can afford it comfortably.informal education isnt bad either.once u re stable financially,u can go for ur formal education

Neymar.
For every Neymar there are 5 billion non Neymars. His is merely fortuitous.

And why should I forget about the conversion?

There are barely a handful....

Truth is m also thinking if quitting school to focus on my currency trading(Forex) dream.

Right now school is my biggest distraction to living a successful life. I say this because on a normal week when am focused on my chart, I make more than $500 but end loosing money because I have classes to attend and all that.

I still am at a cross road.
I need advice too.

PS: am doing very well on forex trading.

Please focus on school and complete your current program. The forex market will be there forever, the money is not running away!

You may not get a job, or start earning big salaries after school but you will be better off if the fired market does not get enough profits to sustain you for the time.

Also certain certifications you will require in future need a degree from university (I'm assuming you're in university) and if you do not get them now, it will be too late and you may NEVER get them again.

Like I said, the forex market is not running away. Concentrate on school for now, while keeping an eye on the forex market. When you're done with school, you can go into the market full time or you combine trading with what ever hustle you get into after school.

You are not guaranteed a good job even after schooling aborad
Dreyl:
I've seen some guys who made alot of cash without any degree, I have a friend who started a business here with $5000, 8 years ago. Presently this guy lives in highbrow area in lekki, drives luxury rides, his wife and kids are in london. he also has shares in top firms in Nigeria, while two of my friends that finished with first class and second class upper don't have anything doing.

Degree here is trash, unless you school in UK, Canada or USA, then after school you are guaranteed a good job.

You're wrong again. Traditional school is not running away, but you know age is a very important factor when you talk about school.

It is a lot easier to do when you are young than at an older age.

Go to school, work hard and get a high paying job
That's system of the old age
In school they only teach you how to work for money not how to make money work for you.
They only produce good employees instead of employers.
In school they give you answers, then they give you exam that's not how life works
You don't need traditional school to become great

Elon musk doesn't hire base on certificate, he hires base on skills.
Kylie is worth 900 million dollars
Where in The world will you Work for someone that you will get that money and she didn't even go to college.
You don't need to go to traditional school to be educated
Also you don't need to go to any traditional school to win a Nobel Prize.

That's why i said you should read "rich dad, poor dad"

Oga, I have read that book and my conclusion is that entrepreneurship is not for everyone.

You did not read my first post up to the last paragraph, did you? Let him complete his education first.

I want to believe you have not withdrawn your children from traditional school.
