When you are running a degree abroad, you are studying to becoming educated.

In Nigeria, you are schooling...with no hope of being educated or getting a job. That's why they say school na scam (Nigeria)....not education (abroad).

Abroad, A shows you are a bright student. You may never get to get zero...they'll be marks for attempting.

In Nigeria, A is for God, B is for Lecturer, C is for serious students which comprise those interested in sexually transmitted grades, and yahoo boys.

I bet one or two of those black boys there are Nigerians and purely on merit

But nowadays who Send school like that. If You like go Moonford or Marsford university...if You no get link or luck/grace nothing for you especially in this shithole called Nigeria

Money rules even a street man can become the richest from scratch e.g Obi cubana trending now might finally only have only O level

I tell you, no country in AFRICA can match brazil, do you know Chileans don't need visa to visit the USA? Their country is that good thats why

Gamesmart:
Yep.

There are normally multiple classes in days at uni, so first day of classes.

There are a lot of classes to take before you are awarded a degree, so first day of classes.

Greener pastures (work), dual nationality, a long trend of the white exodus since democracy fearing black rule, Zuma corruption, crime.

The best way for now is to enrol in a BA course and do a certification in it. When you finish, you can search for BA jobs that do not need a lot of experience but require certification for instance. I don't think that there are many IT projects in Law, but what your background in Law brings are communication skills and the ability to ask people questions when you are trying to get information out of them. In a BA role, you have to ask the business and system Users lots of questions and document them and sometimes, it is more like probing people to get the right information on what their user needs are or what they do in their jobs which need to be computerised.

Every IT project is related to a certain area such as building systems/Apps/Websites for banking, Oil & Gas, mobile telecoms, mining, technology, pharmaceutical, health, transport companies etc. So think of what systems do in companies or what the public do with different Apps and websites. If you are a BA on a project for one of these companies, you may be involved in building internal systems that they use or building their Apps and Websites for the public.

You are right. However I am talking about the value one can get from the chosen role.

Even before analytics became a thing, the analysts role is a lower level role, especially within the consulting structure. And their value is being eroded by the capacity of AI to perform some of the routine and repetitive tasks they were previously needed to do.

“Analyst” sounds nice to the inexperienced (<3 years) but in a world where analytical skills are becoming a minimum requirement and to those with deep and wide work experience, “analysts” are seen as junior positions performing routine tasks like imputing data into a spreadsheet.

Even a very smart graduate or undergraduate should be able to perform the tasks of an analyst. So how much value do you think an analyst will be able to command in a few years as compared to someone who uses analytics to add value to business decisions ?

Please read up on the roles, responsibilities , remuneration and career prospects of business analysts, then make up your own mind.

The world is moving from Business Analysis to Business Analytics due to the infiuence of Big Data, AI & Machine Learning. That would be
more relevant in the coming years.

Better to do an MBA with a specialization as business analysis is a very small part of that.

Avoid picking courses because they sound nice. See if they fit with your innate talent , passion and what the market is demanding.

I wish you all the best

LegitBoyy:
I have been looking to switch to a BA role. Where do you think i can start from given that my background is law ? i really want to acquire a Business Analyst skill before i complete my Masters degree so i can look for practical experience during my 2years post study work visa. Is business analysis entirely different from business analytics? I know the switch is really not going to be easy but i am ready to make the sacrifice.

tutudesz:
Both skills with little pay Nigeria companies will love to employ such individual

tutudesz:
Just employ both PM and BA

BeboNGN:
If you're a business analyst, you can Transition into PM.

“I'm thinking they learned their lesson and they won't call again, because really, I think they should have checked before calling.

“Because if you can't see any smoke or smell anything, I would have just checked.

“If you hear someone saying fire, go and investigate first”.
