Trello: 1. Long term: Use your money to get Canada Permanent residence. For Canadian permanent residence and citizens, it is very easy to obtain full scholarship including free stipends. 2. Short term: Apply for admission and scholarship in US schools. If you dont get full scholarship, you will probably get half tuition discount or full tuition discount. 3. If your reason is because you want to stay abroad, then go for one year MSc in UK in cheap school for September 2020 admission. When you finish, you are guaranteed 2 years Post Study Work Visa and follow up. 4. Dont waste your money to do PhD. Only do PhD if you are given scholarship and you have a clear career path in PhD as it does not guarantee work. There are many unemployed PhD as you are overqualified to most jobs. Academic tenured jobs are now scarce. 4 Likes 5 Shares |

Ultimately the amount you are paid as a doctoral candidate depends on your field as well as the kind of contract you got. But You should expect to receive anything between 1200 euro and 1800 euro monthly. And most of the contract will automatically increase your monthly pay by about 100 euro every year. Yes, after tax, pension, social contribution and health insurance deductions. truthsayer009: |

Investments in Education is not Only for pecuniary gains. Consequently, It's hard to quantify the non monetary benefits it brings. Again, if you're concerned about the financial returns of this investment, consider whether: You're coming back upon completion. You'll seek jobs in Europe as a researcher/Academic. The pay data for these roles is certainly available on the internet. Nigerian academicians are relatively poorly paid though (for one who'll know he had 16m before studying). There's a second route though. Consider research interests/topics in areas you've identified as Commercially rewarding and which fit you passions as an individual with the view of knocking out a product/Service from such an endeavor. You should read the stories of ; Min H. Kao/Gary Burell (Garmin). Sergey brin/ Larry Page. Nikolai Durov. James Goodnight. Dr soon shiong. People who have spun academic interests into wildly profitable products. It wouldn't be easy though. 1 Like |

erico2k2: Quoting you, 20 hrs a week for a foreign student @ £8.21 is £164.20 a week, that's £656.80 a month. Let's even assume he does 40hrs/week, that's £1,313.60 a month. We don't see how that amounts to N800,000 |

Its obvious the OP either made a mistake or he is not aware that 16 million naira is not enough for a Ph.D in the United Kingdom. I observed he has not posted again since he created this thread. Everything concerning travelling abroad don dey enter millions of naira. Even ordinary vacation for a couple for Europe go pass 1 million naira. Search for "International Vacation Club" here on nairaland, I explained how these million naira costs for travelling can be brought down (but it requires time o). If you want to travel in 2021, 2022 or 2023 that is when it is good to start now. |

After spending that much, imagine you still need connection to get a job in Nigeria. Employment is no longer based on merit. |

It’s either you’re not telling us the figures or your school is withholding some info from u. That amount is too small. You also inadvertently or willingly omitted your intended specialty?? If you’re going to discover the cure for Ebola or Corona... then go for it. |

jesmond3945: 10% means 1 out of every 10 opportunities to get a residence visa - so if you were having $43k and someone told you the chances of you making a profit out of spending that money is 10% - will you invest your money? guy - don't mislead people here- me talking here I am in the academic world - I know what I see everyday so stop propping this man for disaster 1 Like |
