Career › Re: MSc In UK Versus N183k Job Offer: Advice Please by saajus: 12:36pm On Sep 08, 2017
Olafisoyem:
What uk uni did u get the scholarship at? I studied at QMUL and before I finished I had theee job offers. The day of my defense is the day I resumed. Mind you my first degree is from uniosun (elect eng). So pray and God will direct you. The company I chose to work for employed one other Nigerian, a Ugandan and two Indians and sponsored their visas. It is risky but baba God dey in charge last last
Thank God we get one positive message from someone who has taken the step.

OP, don't even think about this. Do you want to get stuck in 183k feed mill job in a fluctuating economic environment where you can even lose the job next month.. I know most Chemical Engineering students dream of Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron and stuffs. Your UK Masters and USA/ Canada PhD may move you closer to those fortune 500 companies. Even if you are the first child of your family, tell siblings that depend on you that you want to go fight for your future.

Go for your M.Sc. During your programme, strive to get a PhD grade. you will surely be given a scholarship for your doctorate. Hence the fear of joining the labor market on your return is eroded. You would have succeeded in creating a niche for yourself. You wouldn't even need to come back to Nigeria after your PhD because things will just keep falling in place.
That is what I'm talking about. If you are going for Masters, make sure you return home with PhD. Masters is half-baked. After Masters, you've not reached a wonderful conclusion on your subject area

Make sure, you don't do your PhD in UK. Move to US or Canada. Very easy to get PhD admission in USA or Canada if you bagged Masters from a UK school. 183k will meet your needs now but it won't very soon. Nobody will share stories of some people that return from UK and get fantastic job. Pay now, play later. Take the risk. This is not even risky. It's win-win

You're still young. Your blood still dey hot. And most likely you have nothing worthwhile doing in Nigeria anyway. So, nothing to lose, nothing at stake for you. My response is to DanXplore and anyone out there who is gainfully employed and earning a modest salary, please stay on that job.
The guy is young and ambitious. Our country has made youth think more about now than future. I understand, it's not our fault. That is what our Government has turned us to. 183k per month will only do some basic things of life but he won't be fully financially liberated with that. I am not saying Masters will automatically liberate him but he could solve a problem during his Masters research work and this will fully liberate and launch him. I think OP needs more knowledge now be it Masters, certifications or any other stuffs.

Knowledge first, money second. Let him seek knowledge when he's young.

Pay now, play later...Play now, pay later
Career › Re: MSc In UK Versus N183k Job Offer: Advice Please by saajus:
You are right but if he knows what he's doing very well and give his best, $80k/annum is even small for PhD in his field. I am not talking of computer science graduate who can't write a line of code or a petroleum Engineer who doesn't know fluid mechanics. $80k is not that high paying job. Smart guys are easily earning 120-150k. Fresh PhD graduates are earning 170k+60k bonus at Google. Many Nigerians are there but you won't see them gallivanting or jumping from one show to another because they are too busy seeking knowledge.Those two countries I mentioned do not celebrate average. Many Nigerians remain average when they travel because they get wrong orientations. They seek money first instead of knowledge. They keep working hard instead of working smart.That's why most stay in low paying jobs forever. They think money comes by the number of hours they work which is a big lie.

geosegun:
It is not everyone that is privileged to get an high paying job as you exemplified above...its good to be optimistic but not to be too optimistic as you analysed above....I have seen masters and PhD holders earning much less than you exemplified above. Please get off form your high horse and face reality

My one cent

Too easy. Don't be confused.. Go for your Masters - 2yrs. After your Masters, move to US or Canada for PhD in Petroleum Engineering or similar field of your interest - 3yrs. You will surely get scholarship/assistantship for that too. After your PhD in Canada, permanent resident permit is 100% sure.After your PhD in USA, permanent resident is not 100% sure but smart guys know how to use their PhD research papers get permanent resident..

Assuming you get $80k/annum job after your PhD which I believe with your qualifications, that shouldn't be difficult. If you are not extravagant, let's say you have $50k left after paying bills.You will have 36million Naira in savings after 2 yrs of work. 7 Yrs working in Poultry feed mill, you will make 15m Naira if you don't spend a dime from your salary.

Boy, take this 7 yrs journey to change your life. If you are so patriotic and you decide to return to Nigeria after 7 yrs, you will have PhD, international exposure, Canada/USA resident permit and 36million in your bank.

Don't try to marry her. If she's bold enough to do such under your roof, she can kill you..Keep this as secret. Don't people the real reason why you are breaking up with her.. Protect your brother and yourself from shame..


Your brother is your brother. Forgive him but create a little distance. Go find a Godly girl.

Trump never filed for bankruptcy. His business filed for bankruptcy 4 times..


SirJeffry:
It doesn't screw everybody especially the rich. They usually file bankruptcy and the debts get wiped out from their records. Trump did it sometime too. It's we immigrants that get scared of credit card debts. One can even approach the lenders and negotiate how much to pay back, it's just that it hurts credit worthiness which is very important in the States.
Celebrities › Re: Davido Acquires A 2017 Porsche 911 Car For Himself, Shows it off (Photos, Video) by saajus: 12:47am On Aug 04, 2017
Expensive cars are not about stereo or beauty. Very easy to make car beautiful. Some are made for power and security. Some expensive cars will only flip during accident but wont somersault. Some have special designed airbags. Some are bullet-proof. Unfortunately, many Nigerians buying those cars do not use 10% of its features because of our bad roads.

CheezyCharles:
why is it that all these expensive cars don't have nice features inside....see the stereo cef. I was expecting to see fridge inside, gas cooker etc. all these celebs can waste money sha.dont quote me if u have lost ur sense of humor .

Career › Re: Quitting My Bank Job And Travelling To Canada For MSC, The Right Move ?? by saajus: 7:45am On Jul 03, 2017
Don't be pressured by your dad. You are 28 years old not a kid. Before I drop my piece of advice, can you answer all these questions.

what do you want in the long run?
Do you think the MSc will advance your career?
Are you really doing the job you wanted?
What's your position in that bank?
Do you have a girlfriend/fiancee that you are planning to marry?
Do you have scholarship/Assistanship or you are planning to pay for the Masters in Canada?

Good for him

Nigerian prisons are 600% better than American prisons

Have you been to Rikers island prison in New York ?? You would choose to get eaten alive by a lion the to go to Rikers

Have you heard about Louisiana state prison ?? A.k.a Alcatraz ?? Trust me, that's the last place you wanna go

What about San Quinton ??

Just watch Locked up raw and you will repent immediately
Those prisons are not for fraudsters. They are for hardcore criminals like serial killers

not all ladies,plus am still very much alive,we shud b talking about d idiot dat got her pregnant, u think dumping. a baby is easyhuhyour babyhuhits very wrong but d mother was either left to cope with being a single mother, wen she had no means nd couldn't watch d poor thing die of starvation or an ailment, she probably left d baby there hoping in her heart dat d baby myt b picked up,she didn't abort,kill,or flush it down d toilet,always c things d other way it myt nt b d way we c it or think it is
What are you talking about? Can you do it? Someone dropped a baby in the bush where dangerous animals can hurt and she's hoping someone will pickup. That's illogical. If that's her mission, why not take the baby to a motherless home. there are many motherless homes that will gladly accept him/her. if na dropping..Why not in front of Dangote's house. Why not in front of Government house.Why not in front of a Church. She's not worthy to be called woman.
