Should He Go For A "Certification" Or A "Skill"? by kosiso90: 4:47pm On Mar 12, 2015 |
Hello NLers. I'm a Batch C corp member serving in one of the western states. I graduated with a good class of degree from one of the First generation universities in Nigeria and my discipline is Accountancy. Now, my problem is this: I'm confused about going ahead with the professional certification program I was running while in school or channellin my limited resources( monthly allawee) towards acquiring a lucrative skill cos I can't boast of any right now. The reason behind this is that I ve lost the motivation to pursue the certification having observed that certifications does not guarantee jobs or success but I ve sacrificed so much to get this certication that I feel that throwing in the towel will render my sacrifices meaningless. Again, as I pointed out earlier, I have limited resources and I don't want to waste it "chasing shadows". Please Advice. PS: don't tribalise or politicize this thread. It is meant for people with good heads on their shoulders. MODS, pls help me to move this to the front page. |

Bros, learn a skill... It's definitely more beneficial in the Nigerian market than those certification programs that is now all too common... |

Hmmmm, well truth is everything boils down to you. Do ur homework well. Not all skills are really lucrative. Plus certification on the other hand might be a total waste of time and resource. Some times in life we make tough decisions not because we are 100% sure but we follow our instincts. Look deep inside am sure you would find your answers. |
