A job or a career path...

While it's not nice to actually put a timeframe on it, but it is ideal that at that age, you should either have a job, a skill you're practicing or a career path to a better job...

...just don't be idle and unproductive

Learn more.....possibly get certifications

Since you're banking on your skills.
Also scout for jobs in your preferred countries.. Show them your portfolio even try remote jobs.

Atleast, be sure that there's a market for YOU there without prejudice

A good advisor will always explain the pros and cons of all available options and then let the client make the best informed decision

Usually, the best and surest way to make money na to monetize wetin you sabi do or learn something new wey you go fit monetize....

...that's if you no wan do bad things

Lisaint:
Nice

But how can starters like me
That know nothing’s about Tech

Knows what to pick in the tech world


I mean is there a list of tech courses that someone can just read through


I mean something like Brochure

please if you come across such material, kindly mention me or create a thread abeg... I'm much interested in learning about options before settling for one

Awesome... So happy for you.

I'm planning the same transition too (not from law sha).....but I've been blasted by an overload of information and options.

How do you mean took courses on different fields....can you give more detail please as to where you took em (preferably, online)

You can read through the country's embassy website to get an idea first, so that you can understand the terms and terminologies involved incase you finally go consult a travel agent

Since you got ui/ux skills then product design is pretty cool however considering naija factors you might need to be mentally ready. Poor pay for product designs, lots of mediocre in the field, Need to learn more skills such as html/css/JavaScript might also be another thing then also figma and the likes. Then there’s a fine line between product design and industrial design you might be crossing into in some projects and this would require you getting good CAD skills such as Catia, Solidworks and the rest.
Now looking at the future and I mean future of revolutionized tech, there’s a tipping point you can only get with product design when compared with software engr or data science/machine learning/ AI. Just do you analysis deep down if what you want is short term or long term.

Thank you so much for your very helpful response

Since you already have knowledge in Graphic designing. I will advise you to brush up your skill and learn to design like a PRO, Ui/Ux designing is a nice career to have, you can not be a good one if you don't work closely with a Front End Engineer. The last company i worked with, My UI/UX designer earns above 400k. though, he studied Graphic Designing in College, I only brushed him up to UI/UX in other to make my life easier as a lead Dev. Make decision based on what you love doing.

In contrast, you can look into Front-End career pathway. Don't be in hurry for money. Else, you will end-up spamming different forum for website development @ a cheaper rate. Focus on learning the craft, learn it from HTML5/Css3, JavaScript and PHP. After this, you can decide to go with any of your desire framework. Learn React, Angular and Vue js. Based on the hours that you stated that you can devote to learning, Within a year, I believe you will be ready for an entry level front-end role.

Lest i forget to add that you will need a mentor that will guild you through. This will prevent you from information overloading.

Wow.... Thank you so much Sir.. You just made my month! I really appreciate your very detailed response.

Please can i message you Sir... I'll like to discuss with you and seek your counsel on way forward.... At your convenience please

If you're truly serious, you'll be ready to buy and use lots of data

I don't know much about it.....but how about research on project management?

Beautiful flier design

I would advice that you list out your skills, and work experience if you're not a new graduate.

It may help guide people's advice or offerings outside banking and finance. I wish you the best Chief

Good question!!

Can you contract the design of your magazine to me? It can be a lot better

Tallesty1:
No, he's not sincere and he's not sorry else he won't be apologizing and insulting them with N10k at the same time.

If he gave a million dollars, you'll still say he is trying to buy their forgiveness;
And also it will show that the family is only considering his apology in the face of the wealth he's offering them.

You don't understand the workings of the family....and OP hasn't given you every detail....so it's better to be open minded in your submissions

Lol.. The irony eh! When the average law abiding citizen earns less than 1,000 a day and eats the same or even less... Naim criminals and enemy of the state dey live the life.

Though, we know they lie about those figures to fleece the country and also cover up for looted funds.


No normal citizen prisoner eats that good

This is Nigeria...

No Sir... The first step to resolving a problem is to own up to responsibility. It's not without any reason...you need to find your trigger... What are those things that happens or leads to the unholy act of hitting a woman you once couldn't stay a day without hearing her voice.


Sometimes, unresolved anger from previous misunderstanding piles up and then it leads to a violent burst at the littlest provocation.

It's okay that you have seen that it is wrong... Now the first thing.....this evening, apologize to her....kneel down and win back her trust as you knelt down to propose to her.


If it's her attitude or nags that makes you hit her... Beg her that you don't like what her actions are making you become...Ask her what you can do to be a better husband and truly make the effort.

When she does something you don't like, no matter how petty... Tell her...vice versa

What matters is whether he is sincere in His apology to YOUR MUM and his apology for abandoning you guys at a point y'all needed him the most. Also, whether he's coming back into your lives to make up for lost time or if the apology is as a result of an instruction from a prophet or ish....

The amount is irrelevant..because if he had given 1million.. You'd have also called it a bribe.

I dey come..

You have spoken the true gospel Sire!

Addition:

There's never an end to learning, the more you learn, the better you're able to satisfy your clients' needs.

[*] Be open to discussing possible modifications in your client's brief, especially regarding grammar - those "is instead of it's", "am instead of I am/I'm" kind of people.

[*] When a client approaches you with terrible designs in their head i.e i need a logo with a man holding Jesus Christ; be open to encouraging them why a logo should be what it is...an identity; if possible show them a draft. They would value your input and possibly trust your knowledge and experience even much more - if they insist, then you decide whether to pass or take it

Oga Seun, Please help dirext the mods and Lalasticlala to put this threadon fp to get more insights.

It's that important please

Thunday1005:
Products design market is yet to be fully exploited in Nigeria compared to other tech related work

Thanks Chief... I'll research it

VoidLoop:
Embedded systems won't be a bad idea since there's high demand for electronic products.

phew.. Can I learn on my own... And is it something that would need specialized hardware?

Ayo081:
Build portfolios, redesign existing apps, share it, join remote/on site free bootcamps.

Connect with people, that's one thing I didn't do.

Amazing tips.. I'm screenshoting this

Ayo081:
I didn't read the full thread tho, but I see you have a background in design.

Why not do UI/UX.?

I'm not doing tech currently BTW

Thanks for your response.....I'm wondering what the job prospects are for entry level jobs with little experience

Thunday1005:
SInce you have skills in graphics, you can try UI/UX Or product design.

Thank you Sir.. How's the market like? Are there favourable prospects?

kennethfranc:
@op.. Since you can dedicate 1yr, then go for web development.
This might help

The Oga don show face for this thread sha

Thanks alot.. I'll read through the thread

colawi:
Op consider this. Good thing takes time. No need to rush. If I add few years to your age, you will still be a young man

Errrm.. Having to stop work and commit to learning strictly in Nigeria where there is no employment is a risk I can only manage if it rewards me with an engagement early enough o... Plus, I'm already a quarter of a dozen away from 30yrs jare..and data science looks like some deep math?

airsaylongcome:
Me I'm a Data Science/Data Analytics proponent. But if you plan to learn a skill that can pay your bills sharp sharp find another skill, not Data Science. It's a long game if you enter DS. You fit not eat for 5years

Thank you so much....I appreciate the sincerity

Thanks for the responses so far.

Please what are the pros and cons; As regards data science....I'm not in very passionate terms with MATHS

Do any of you really get this job after posting a firm's invite public? assuming it's legit Also, without doing due diligence on your own first....?
