I do not agree with the op. The only difference btw studying abroad and studying here is that you will have a far better understanding of your choice of course if you study abroad. The points you listed don't cut it. |

@op, all those who schooled and are schooling abroad are opportuned thats all. Schooling abroad does not guarantee you automatic employment in Nigeria, but connection does. |

EduRegard: True. But whatever you do, DONT you ever attempt to go to the UK for your MSc or PhD. Unless you want to end your Postgraduate degree in anxiety and a state of confusion. They are anti-immigrants and they do not hide it— well asides when they come to bamboozle and mesmerise Africans with colourful pictures of their schools and structures. Even if you graduate best in your class, they will treat you as if they did you a favour. Yes, even when you've paid them £15,000+ and other additions to their economy, they treat you very badly. It's not the people though, not the ordinary people. It's the system. The United States, New Zealand, Austrialia and Canada are FAR ideal options. 2 Likes |

AwonGoonsMee: Oga loads of people preached same to me when I was leaving UK to come undertake NYSC in 2014 but lies . I've secured two job offers without knowing anybody ( one at a top tech company and another at one of the old generation banks and even waiting on another ). I've also found that my mindset is somewhat different from the average Nigerian graduate. I'm not trying to say many Nigerian graduates aren't at par but the lack of exposure is obvious on how many Nigerian university graduates behave. 6 Likes |

op has made some valid points, but it all boils down to the individual involved.And those shouting that if you like go Harvard, there is still no job without connection are wrong.You can't go to schools like Stanford, LSE, imperial college, Yale and be jobless.I believe there are jobs but the reason for unemployment in Nigeria is the skills gap between schooling and industrial demands. How many Nigerian trained finance graduate understand Financial modelling, how many social science graduate can use SpSs,how many students know what their field is all about and the latest improvements in it. |

OP, studying abroad is great and all. But there is nothing worse than doing that and not getting work 2,3 sometimes 4 years after grad. (worst case scenario). I've got friends with degrees in Law, Engineering, The Sciences who got back and are working in small businesses, sales jobs and last but not least smashing their heads on the proverbial "oil and gas" wall. And sometimes it can be more of a hindrance than an advantage. Imagine going in for a job interview only to be dropped not because you have poor interview skills, but because they expect that with your qualifications, you would be more likely to leave them soon?!!. That has been my experience, on not less than two occasions. So please by all means travel, but know this. Your international degree (MSc) might not be worth the paper its printed on... HAVE AN EXIT PLAN! Re-invent yourself, start a small business, alone or with business partners |

Re: 7 Reasons Why Studying Abroad Will Help You Land A Job by Akexstinger(m): 1:52pm On Aug 29, 2016 |
The problem we have with ourselves is failure to research. I see no reason why somebody will spend 6.8 million naira just to get masters and on his return to naija, he becomes hopeless. Before we do anything, we need to research these countries, their economy and job availability. Why should I go to UK and do my masters, when the law says on completion you must return back to ur country. Almost all countries in Europe are bullshit apart from Germany, Netherland, switzerland that have good policies favoring foreigners. Apart from that I will always tell people to always focus on Canada and US where you are entitled to Post Graduate work permit after your education and you can look for job and then apply for PR. The OP is right, employers love to have those with foreign experience in their establishment. The course we study matters a lot too. I didn't study abroad but was opportune to have worked in one of the biggest companies in the world situated in South-east Asia just for few time. And since I came back, I have gotten like 4 offers. And i'm seriously looking for money and gathering it bit by bit to to move out of this country. The pay outside the country is far higher than those working in chevron here. It is something that I have witnessed. Employers in Nigeria always underpay you no matter what. If you have money to study outside the country, consider US, Canada, Germany, South Korea, China,Netherland, and Japan. 1 Like |

Akexstinger: First of all the assumption that people go to seek foreign education with the hope of staying back and working in UK or France is wrong . I had it at the back of my mind that I was only seeking western education and not western work permit . Thus I did not submit a single job application after studying in UK. While I was there the Nigerian economy was booming with crude selling at $100+ p/b with many people I knew living well in Lagos/Abuja , acquiring properties and all. So I was eager to finish and return to Nigeria . So I never regarded a UK or US education as a waste. I got a contract job during NYSC and was granted two hours weekly to go participate in the weekly CDS. Two weeks after NYSC my status was upgraded from a contract role to a fulltime role. Got another fulltime job few months later . 5 Likes |
