Stop confusing the young man. Money is a great motivation to get an education or to learn a skill.
If you are not motivated by money, others are.
I wake up every morning thinking of how much I would make that is my deal.
We all can't be like you

i'm planning on studying computer science in unilorin but it seems the public consensus is that computer science taught in nigeria university is outdated so is it worth the money and time to still study it.
I love computer science but i'm mainly doing it for the money and i'm currently learning python so is it worth going to study it in the university to get the certificate or being self-taught is better

SeriouslySense:
What about University of the people, its an online American university and its says its tuition free.

It has computer science, if you are at home still struggling to gain admission, you can just apply and start there, if Nigerian University are not ready to accept you or proving too good. LOL

Have you enrolled for University of the people.
I tried enrolling in d past but was told to pay certain amount of money

Also Saylor academy has free e-material, then i think it has test online that assesses your knowledge and then you can be like a graduate who has being taught the necessary curriculum as a self taught or online student.

I am really interesting in this Google admob. But the problem is issue of trust in Nigeria. I have been scammed before. And this have made me not to trust a lot of people. Are you honest with your words....
Also I can't find your contact details.

If you are doing it for the money, then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Yes there is presently a lot of money in Tech, but the most successful folks are motivated by things other than money.

I got into tech long ago. Many years before it started hitting the spot light locally. My motivation then (and now) is to solve problems whether I make a buck or not. I ha e done several personal projects purely for the fun of it and wanting to know how certain things work.

Yes it's worth it. You will learn data structures and systems design. If you are going in I will advise you to make leetcode your friend from day one. With even a pass degree, so long as you can solve at least half of the questions on leetcode. A multi million naira a month job is waiting for you on graduation.

Continue deceiving yourself. I got my first remote job after 8 months of learning on my own. A nairalander here who is still learning got a remote job with a netherlands company. She hasnt learnt for six months.

Uncharted56:
I am free tonight and you I hate keyboard warriors like you, that job ad on my app is a test ad and also it is when the job ad expires to show that you don't read well, the app itself is still in development and I am posting to get people to test the app. It's mofos like you that claim to be everything and I hate people like you. I could kill you don't test me, you don't know my story and you are busy typing nonsense from behind your phone, you think I'm like other programmers I am a hard born hustler boy, I've been on the streets.

Useless piece of shit

I will eat your meat, meet me face to face and I will show you what survival has done to me in this harsh economy, I will decend all my anger on your useless face and break that useless hand you are using to type rubbish, try me if you get mind.

You really get mind to call me small boy.

SeriouslySense:
, I remember when i did some courses In a Nigerian University XX with a computer science department, they were so scared we might spoil the computer, even when we were typing, we were also scared lol.

And we used mostly Fortran, anyway it was a basic intro, into algorithms and their flow chart, and procedural programming.

Although the environment was so rushed and fearful, i developed interest, one does not really gain anything in such a tense atmosphere, online tutorials, having my personal computer, and the ease of access coupled with self Study definitely made me a professional.

There are so many online resources, free and paid, i recommend one should be very observational, and bookmark the resources online.

There are bootcamps, even schools, and places, where one can gain experience, i consider Nigerian universities as sad places and trash.

Are you the one that gave them the jobs? How do u no that there are less than 1000leetcodr users in Nigeria? Which high paying Nigerian firms are you referring to? What is FAANG?

Indispensable85:
Go do for road side. Nigeria university own nor get practicals and have old curriculum.
Imagine they're still doing fortran,pascal and na even theory sef. Nonsense

Golan007:


But why is it that you guys have no idea who the person at the other end is, yet you insult and threaten them like you are all powerful.

It is worse when someone eventually finds you are still quite young with very little to back up your claims.

tensazangetsu20:


Na I am not. I earn about 50k working for a no name Nigerian firm but you can't use me as an example to play for yourself

nnemak:
Its great, with computer Science you are not boxed to any of the divisions within ICT: Software, Hardware, Networking , Cyber Security, Data Science, etc.

You can be whatever you want to be and your degree gives you an edge over those that would want to come onboard via other means.

But you have two important things to focus on now,
1. Get very good grades in school.
2. Get hands-on skills outside school.
Follow trends, at this initial stage locate the nearest GDG and be a part, identify yourself with the cyber cafe or ICT hub around you, in church join the ICT unit.
By your 3rd year give a certification a shoot, by then you should have affinity toward a particular ICT sector.

I did computer Science over 20+ ago, and it's easy to run to any of the new spinoffs of computer Science... all the best

Are u on reddit

Nuttella:
Can someone tell me why someone will go to covenant university to study biochemistry?

Biochemistry of all course, course that they give to people that didn't reach medicine and surgery cut off mark.

deluxeT:



Thank you Seun for this platform.
At least,we can smile no matter how depressed one is.

airsaylongcome:


If you don't know FAANG then you shouldn't be making sweeping comments, especially about leetcode and IT openings. My candid advice is to start of by doing research.

Facebook
Apple
Amazon
Netflix
Google

FAANG

lexy2014:


I haven't made any comment. I only asked u questions which u unable to answer. Is comment & question d same thing? Meanwhile,

Are you the one that gave them the jobs? How do u no that there are less than 1000leetcodr users in Nigeria? Which high paying Nigerian firms are you referring to? What is FAANG?

airsaylongcome:


You are still asking what FAANG is when I literally posted it there?

Like I said in the screen grab, you really need to start doing your research

lexy2014:


Since u have done your research, how come answering d following questions is a challenge for u?

1. Are you the one that gave them the jobs?

2. How do u no that there are less than 1000leetcodr users in Nigeria?

3. Which high paying Nigerian firms are you referring to?

4. What is FAANG?

NB: FAANG is an acronym. I didn't ask u for a list. I asked "what is FAANG"?
