How will he pay for the masters without a job?

Will the masters significantly improve His chances of getting a job?

If the ultimate goal is to get a job , why not aim t get a job first? People who have not even finished secondary school and even drop outs are working at google , Facebook etc.

Focus less on getting a certificate and more on getting a skill that van add value to people and organisations.

And never forget, Unemployment is a choice.

I focus more on certifications is what is limiting my career and my success till date 😢

I will train my son to fight for two or three things in life to he up and doings.

Certificate
Skill
Trading.


because I was trained in only certification way is d only to become successful in life but today certificate is 2% edge for u to become a millionaire

where’s the money to buy data.

Open opay account. Transfer 2k dere. Then be getting rewards. On day 5, 10 and 20. They give free voucher. Meaning you'll buy more data with less money.

That's how I do things.

Target some good law firms and apply for internships. With the internship experience, you can easily get a high paying job and also get to network with erudite legal professionals.

Instead of Masters, I suggests you write the ICSAN professional exams. Masters is a waste of time and money.

Hello guys, please I need your advice. I'm currently in a dilemma on what to do with my life presently. I'm a lawyer called to the bar in December 2022. Afterwards I practiced in a law firm for 6 months before resigning due to the meagre salary and harsh work environment. I just couldn't keep up, Although I can confirm that legal practice was very terrific but it's something that you can only enjoy if you're well paid at the Law firm or company you work with to effectively maintain the standard expected from you.

I've been jobless for 8 months now as all the efforts I put into securing a job ended in futility. I'm thinking of going for my masters degree(LLM) instead of staying idle at home with my parents. I think by doing this I can keep myself busy and improve on my career academically while also trying to find a good job in today's Nigeria.

Serious advice needed please

Since you or your parents can afford masters for you

Why not travel out and do any kind of job that will give you money that has value

My brother this is d greatest mistake I made in my life for not learning a skill after my first degree .. you know this ego of graduate na u won't want to work under sun or life a mere skill labour instead we would prefer office job with tie.
Although I found one later one but the pay is nothing to write home about till dates.



Now for me to go back and restart or restrategise the process ehn 🤔
I found it too difficult because am married now with kids 😢



For those of you talking about business and skills, using the money for MS.c to start a business, you think it easier on that side? I have never submitted my CV to any company since 2017 I graduated. But You all really think that doing business in a volatile country like Nigeria is easy? Well, be my guest. because you just met a graduate who took d part of skill acquisition after nysc, hope you know how much it cost to rent an empty store in a fairly busy location, not talking about renting Inside a market? Let alone stocking it in this inflation driven period? I have been through it my friend, and still in it, some of my aunties still encourage me to keep searching for a gov job, although no regret so far, Sometimes when inflation is bitting hard, and customers who never moved pass elementary 5 starts to insult you over N1500 workmanship from a phone u fix for him more than 3 months earlier, you just cannot do anything order than to wish Nigeria was a better country. Before you say jack! It's time to renew store rent again. House rent is there also, waiting for renewal, aren't you going to feed? This kinda make me to start to respect most directors/CEOs/owners of companies. Please let's take a moment to appreciate employers of labour, it's really not easy for them. Your employer is a business man, be it a lawyer who owns a firm or a medical doctor who owns an hospital. What graduates care about is salary increment, how huge the salary offer is, not considering if the place you work is having a smooth business operations to sustain its existence. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

Who will pay for the master's?

You?
Your parents?
Like how much will it cost?


Why not use part of the funds for masters and learn a skill? Be it Electrical, plumbing, IT, repairs of industrial generators, furniture, pop installation, repairs of medical equipment, etc

When you have gathered experience, you open your own company, register it, start pursuing contracts.

The guy that's services our gen in my office charge is 50k that's after we might have called him several times and waited .., He is always damn booked and busy.

The security guy in my office who also doubles as a plumber is cashing out big time, the day he broke his piggy bank in my presence, just for 6months from his hustle as a plumber. I cursed my Nigeria certificate.

Think of being an creator of job, and not a job seeker even after your masters.


Nice one but do U have a contact as to that?

The money he wants to use for a master’s degree, can’t he use it for something more productive at least for now?

Go for a Master’s degree only if you want to be in academic line. One don’t need too much degrees to make it in current day Nigeria. Though if you have the means, you can go as high as you like, but not with the intention that that will guarantee you jobs.

Something productive like

It’s never too late for you to evolve and grow.

But as per your son, I agree . Apart from developing his academic/intellectual abilities , I also want to ensure my son has developed excellent skills in a creative, sports and/or vocational area before he is done with secondary school.

That’s why countries like Germany are still so relevant , their education covers both whitecollar and vocational education.

Back then in high school, we all wanted to become lawyers. So one day my dad sat me down and explained how legal practice is done in Nigeria. As a young lawyer what u should have in mind is " lawyers dnt retire" and nobody wants to hire a young and inexperienced lawyer to handle his case.....Falana has been there since I was born....dnt tell me ur parents are going to sponsor ur Masters degree.
This is the problem
Re: Should I Go For A Masters Degree Or Remain Jobless At Home? by Bfly: 7:56am On Feb 21
A lawyer who is truly grounded have no need asking this kind of questions.
Just proceed with your masters, probably becomea prof and read out textbook to law students.

It is not your fault that they filled you with garbage for five years. Nigeria is happening to every one
