Yes. If someone like mi must go for masters, then I will sponsor myself ooo Cox parents can't... But mehn, I need to make money first n foremost.

Any way to make money, guys?


Bored.. Anyone will Python programming video tutorial within lagos..

Hmmmm...
I'm running my Master's degree almost on my own (65% from my pocket and 35% from my big bros)
Nothing from parents but as far as I'm concerned, they've tried (for B.sc)
I don't know if this additional knowledge acquisition will lead to anything but it's something I've always desired.
After this, na to focus on making money fully by God's grace.

You can go for Master programme if you are unable to secure a job. Instead of Merry go rounding the street, furthering your education is not a bad idea.
The Scheme of Service stipulates that a holder of a Master degree will be one level above someone with a Bachelor degree.
Possessing a master degree might be advantageous for you in the civil service.

No, but what ever degree you have you have to be very good at what you are doing to be found worthy of employment, connection within social circle and prayers.

Maybe you should ask some masters holders working 7am-4pm earning 20k in private schools.....

ManOfSteel learnt in the hard way that formal education alone does not guarantee financial freedom....

Now he has over 15 hummer buses on hire purchase serving as his side hustle asides other businesses.....


Maybe the master was in view. You can't have a masters and limit yourself to 20k a month. Except maybe the person is poor in character/academics and with low self esteem.

A master’s degree gives you the right to remain the slave of your master. So I guess yeah.

It doesn't. At least in Nigeria. I have 2 masters degrees. However, I proceeded to do my PhD as I couldn't get a job.


Two Mscs should have given you a job if you are practical oriented. Stop going after paper but transferable skills

Do not enrol for that MSc program... I repeat, do not . The only reason you can enrol for that MSc is solely if you desire to become an Academic and follow that career path. So you either secure a job in any of our research institute or as a lecturer in a university...but aside from this, Do not.

Having a Master’s qualification is not a free pass ticket to a job, but will give you that vital competitive advantage in a saturated labour market. I am in the middle of one at the moment, went straight into postgraduate study just 3 months after my undergraduate degree wasn’t particularly easy. I had to sacrifice a lot; near zero social life, lots of assignments, field studies etc. I however believe that the long term benefits outweighs the short term sacrifice.

Common sense you no get, how could have two masters degree, I mean not just one but two

First master degree no give you work, then you proceed to another master degree and no work still, you come proceed go do your PhD still no work? Why did you not use the money for business? Guy go and burn those degrees.

Well, the money for the degrees weren't yours actually that's the reason for this recklessness.

I know say na the PhD you take apply for N-power 30k
i no Blame u. Do you have sense at all? Is it your money? And who told you that I'm not doing business? Do you even think I'm up to 30 years? Please don't quote me again. Nonsense

Stop searching...as a PhD holder you're automatically more qualified than most CEOs HRM, MD... etc. So in reality no employer would hire someone whose more qualified than him.

I'll suggest you try lecturing job, your double Msc along with a PhD in view should boost your chances.

Good luck.
thanks Sir. Everything you said is true

You didn't mention that it also depends on your field or course.

A course you finished bachelor's degree and couldn't get a job. What makes you think that deepening it would mean anything?

Did you create any job?
youre absolutely right, Sir. However, I didn't proceed with d course I studied in my 1st degree... Also I'm doing something at the moment asides looking for a job. Thanks
