Hebrews 11:3 By faith, we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of visible things. The things seen were not created from the things that could be seen. Any man who plans based on his immediate environment and circumstances does not go far. A time will come when you will want to do it, but it might be too late. I strongly advise that you go for it.

Shell, Total, where I work, NCC, NNPC and others. We hardly accept people with ordinary degree

not entirely true. I have Friends/ ex colleagues in shell and NNPC that got offers in the last 2 years. They didn’t have masters .

EreluRoz:
I did mine immediately after service. God knows I've tried my best let my future husband do the rest. Aside certification and others I'm not going to school again.

Since you are a man please go for your masters and even further sef. Bsc is not enough for a man

I like your current picture ma'am.

Your moniker got me curious. How did you coin this name? It's literally what people call me

Wow

egojeny1:

Pls mention some of the IT courses that are high in demand.
Also, what is SYSCO?

Sorry it is CISCO but here in Luxembourg they call it SYSCO
CISCO is the American body saddle with the responsibility to issue the certificate

Data Science (does not involve programming language)

Others are:
UX/UI design
Cyber security
Web design and the likes

ekineme:

It is CISCO and not SYSCO

The highest paying jobs/sectors that always have jobs in nigeria based on my recent activities in job boards are: Software Development
Accounting
Human Resource Management Only accounting sometimes request for professional qualification, not masters. They all prioritize years of experience over a masters or a first degree in the case of Software Development. I personally consider a masters useless. The only time you should get it for a job is if it is required in the job or career to advance.

Every industry likes experienced folks including those that explicitly require academic masters in addition with a bachelor degree (architecture is an example). Experience is loved everywhere and by everyone.

That said, how come HRM is a lucrative role in Nigeria? HR is a cost centre and cost centres aren't lucrative. Even executive recruitment firms don't have HRMs as their highest paid staff. As for certification, CIPM is the relevant certification then SHRM. I'm just surprised how HRM is a highly paid role. How about engineering (software excluded)?

Masters is a degree or certificate?

Gerrard59:

Except it's to augment a lower grade, obtain fast promotion or for personal prestige purposes, only embark on a master's degree when you have amassed at least three years of experience after your first degree. A master's degree without work experience (post NYSC) is no different from a bachelor degree without an experience. In fact, the latter will get more calls from recruiters and companies because they are likely to be command lower salaries and are fresh out of tertiary institutions. At the same time, those with work experiences command higher salaries than those with just academic degrees and/or less years of work experience. Also, depending on your field, relevant certifications are better off than an academic degree.

Nevertheless, nothing beats work experience!

Ok

My wife has a Masters degree in English Literature but she has never used it. She bakes Cakes and makes Small Chops for a living. And she makes good money from her catering business. I have a B.A Degree in History but I am a polymath. I have a lot of interest in Agriculture and Food Processing. I also write very well and can do different things easily. I don't believe in paper qualifications. Knowledge can be gotten via the Internet and YouTube videos these days. Masters Degree? Nah, for Me. Cheers.

Everybody is just mentioning TECH like it's everyone that is passionate about Tech

It's just like saying everyone should do Teaching or Medicine if both pay N5M per month.

In all, just ask the GOD Almighty, the Creator of the Universe, who knows the future to direct your path.

I honestly do not know. I am really surprised too because I got to find out this year.

I think the reason is because a lot of people do not know about it. There are companies springing up almost everyday even in this economy and the ones that are around also expands too.

To me, HRM is the easiest qet-quick-rich scheme as per nigerian standard.

You could study biro and pencil, then do a six-month HRM course online. Thereafter, you can get a HR intern or assistant job earning between #75k - #150k/m, the remote jobs tend to pay the lower end of the range. Once you have 1 - 3 yrs experience you are worth #200k - #500k/m or more, depending on the company and how good you are with job seeking and interviews.

Better decide what you want now?

Do you want to be a lecturer?
If NO look around the digital space. Look for people doing well in their fields and attache yourself. Because MSC is like bsc nowadays. Alot of people have it without getting the real value for it.

Besides MSC is usually after you get a job or wealth of experience. Nowadays na people trying to escape the harsh reality or postpone it.

When you start making money without MSC you would not even think about it.

The time I wanted to collect my original certificate in school. I met one professor that I know tho not from my department. If u see how this man was crying, that dey haven't paid Dem, that now dey are suffering., I deep hand in my pocket and gift him 20k. Come see how this man knelt down and thank me. A fucking goddam professor!!!. I stood there, and made a declaration that before any of my children go to university, must use one year to learn a trade or a skill, before any university education, I don't care any course u want to study. And it must end in bsc.
A young man will be wasting his time reading books, oga get practical, practical and technical persons make things happen.
If you studied engineering, after ur bsc, go join engineering company or an engineer that get work well, gets your hand dirty, built your portfolio, that is what's speaks for you. Not your cv. Imagine telling ur client that u are the one that designed so so so plaza, that is ur work screemming for you not even talking.
What is fucking wrong with this generation of men self!!!!!!!

ednut1:
what is your first degree in How old are you . Harsh reality is a masters wont improve your employment chances if you have zero work experience.

its a edge if he has bro

EreluRoz:
I'm only trying to say someone with a master's degree has an edge over an ordinary B.sc. Where I work will hardly consider someone with just an ordinary degree and I know some other places like that as well.

Don't mind them. Some places will never accept B.Sc. Some Standard Secondary schools nowadays are not accepting B.Sc again. Just apply to Shell with BSc, your application will not be picked.

Hahahahaha, see how this one is using gender to limit herself.

spiSeyi:
My nigga education is good but certificates are losing their relevancy in this age because we are in the information age (what matters most is the quality of information you have and how well you can solve problems). You better go and learn tech,farming , investment or trading skills , even if you attain Doctorate it's just a toilet paper. I have a lot of masters degree holders regretting for not ignoring masters for skill acquisition.
After my BSC nah tech & biz I run into and I can tell you that it paid off than pursuing masters. What's the essence of masters that can't earn 300-400k even prof nah 500k be there pay. And that 500k is what a well-to-do tech or biz guy will get in just a day or week .
You can pursue masters and others after making enough money for yourself

Can u mentor me on tech and biz I can learn to hit d ground running ?

No Problem you can start with Digital marketing or mobile app, and if you don't like coding or time for those things you can be a software vendor (selling of license keys and installing industry softwares like Peachtree, POS, Microsoft 365, Financle)

Please don't waste your money. Use it to escape out of the shithole

Exactly.......people have to be very careful. A master's degree is an added advantage anywhere in the world. However it depends on the field, therefore the best thing the guy should do is get a professional qualification not academic qualification for his master's. In advance nations, Medical/Health, Education, Marketing & Sales will forever been in demand, whether Tech or no tech. I made sure before choosing a PG program, I checked/Researched the most paid professions in the world. And guess what? Medical/Health/Clinical jobs collected 25 out of 28 top paying jobs in USA. So people need to be very careful. If he wants is Masters, he should do it now before it's too late, my late mum is a perfect example, she waited until they wanted to promote her to ADNS(Assistant Director of Nursing Service) before she started her PGD in LAUTECH, but tragedy happened, My Dad Died the same year, hence she couldn't continue because she was emotionally, financially, mentally and physically down to do the PGD, hence she saw her mates and Juniors collecting their MSc in Nursing there-by becoming Directors and Whatnot. My mother had no choice than to retire as a CON(Chief Nursing Officer) a rank below the ADNS, she saw her mates and Juinors becoming Ogas. And there was nothing she could do about it. She was collecting 250,000 as of 2017, she told me If she did the masters and was promoted to ADNS, her salary would have been entering 600,000 minimum. As for me. I told myself I won't repeat my late mother's mistakes, I am currently doing a professional diploma in Education to make myself eligibilie to write (TRCN) a professional Certification for Education in Nigeria, and Will resume my PGDE in UNILAG this September by God's Grace and i will get my IGSCE certification(British Curriculum) form latest next month. The IGSCE certification will make me eligible to Teach British/USA Curriculum, anywhere in the world. God has been seeing me through so far, na to pay for this PGDE AND IGSCE CERTIFICATION fees, na wetin I dey pray to God to do for me right now. God no go shame me. Amen.
