Bro, as a JAMBITE, you should be more concerned with your studies.... Just joking anyway
Yea, nice that you asked. Kunle106 has given you a brief but accurate response. I plan talking comprehensively on cover letters in the next few weeks as a lot of people have asked me questions about it. Stay tuned.

Hello everyone, please I need clarifications to this issue. Recently, i've been hearing,if you want to go into the academics, get a masters. If you want to go into the coporate world,get certifications n a job first then decide whether to go back to school or not later.I want to know how true this is cos am a fresh graduate of economics and I intend going in for masters in the next academic session. I have no experience whatsoever n I don't intend going into the academics

Thank you in advance!

Definitely, you should further your studies if you intend to build a career in academics. Further education is not compulsory if you want to gain work/industry experience. For instance, I only have a BSc and I have worked for 3 firms so far. I have also rejected an offer once for a better one. But if you are still young and /or you won a PG scholarship, you may consider going for your MSc first before searching for a job. You may also decide to enroll for MSc while job hunting. The choice is yours.

A good BSc is enough to fetch you a good job even without Masters. Just work on your aptitude test and interview skills. And watch out for vacancies and apply. Depending on what you want for a career, you can also consider certifications, but it is also not mandatory. I never had certifications before getting my first 2 jobs.

Cheers....

Thank you very much for your quick response. Am still young (22) and am considering the masters partly cos my folks want it. However, I have been applying jus incase the msc doesn't work out. I'll jus keep working on my aptitude test/interview skills which I happen to be not good at. As for the certifications, I agree with you. .....tried acca and failed woefully at my first attempt.. lol

This was my last write-up before the Nairaland attack. It concludes my article on how I personally manage work life balance. It is unedited:

MANAGING WORK AND LIFE ACTIVITIES Cont'd

6. Giving: Giving comes in different ways but I am referring to monetary gifts here. Giving to people in need, family members, friends, societal and religious activities is part of everyday living. I believe everyone should develop the habit of giving irrespective of current financial status. Giving is however a contentious issue. Knowing when to give, who to give and how much to give can be really challenging. This is more so in cases where there are many demands for your limited financial resources. There is no absolute answer to those three questions. Situations vary for each individual and there are certain times we have to say no to some requests. A balance should be consciously made to give to the varying segments in the society both those we know and others we don't have a relationship with. Humans are by nature self-centered and we naturally tend to give to receive in return. The receipt may not necessary be in cash but in kind e.g. people's approval, kindness, allowing shortcuts, obtaining favour, popularity, intimacy, etc. One way or the other, we all practice some level of self-centered giving. But with conscious effort we can give without hoping to receive in return, and we must learn to give altruistically so often that it becomes a habit.

7. Family time: I grew up in a closely knitted African nuclear family. My parents valued the typical African culture of discipline, responsibility, education, respect and hard work. I therefore value the family unit and the support system that comes from that bond. Due to time and distance constraint, I do not get to see my parents, siblings and close relatives as often as I will love to see them. I do not have my own family yet, but I definitely look forward to having one soon. I therefore cannot talk much about managing work and family issues since I am yet to experience it firsthand. I am starting to make adequate room for that anyway. An experienced career wife would better do justice to that as they seem to face such issues more than their complementary counterpart.

8. Societal and community activities: I participate in a few societal activities like wedding and naming ceremonies, birthday parties, outings, launching ceremony, festivals, etc. Those are avenues to relax , have fun and sometimes meet new people. Work and other engagements limit the number of activities I participate in. Besides, engaging in societal activities is not very high in my list of priorities. But I see it as a form of refreshment from constant life pressures once in awhile.

9. Political activities: Though I follow closely the political situations in this country, I am not involved in partisan politics neither am I a member of any civil society or NGO. I am passionate about good governance in Nigeria and will very much like to see Nigeria on the path of peace, sustainable progress and unity. I will strongly consider a civil society or pressure group in the future (if time and belief permit) so that I can play an active role in pursuing the prosperous Nigeria we all dream about. But I doubt if I will ever be involved in partisan politics. I hope not!

10. Relaxation - Sometimes, the best moments in life are the times when you are just indoors relaxing, feeling lazy, sleeping, watching TV series, playing games, surfing the web, listening and dancing to some nice music, watching good football, lawn tennis or WWE wrestling (yes, I am a fan of professional wrestling!). I love being indoors alone or with a few close friends or relatives. I love being on my own; I love that feeling of independence, but I know I will eventually have to give up some of these idiosyncrasies with time.
