Please I have a friend that would need a copy of your resignation to attach in his application letter as a supporting document. lol! Meanwhile, you've got much advice. Your long term vision is key to your determination. So if not against your solid plan for life, gather a little experience first! 2 Likes |

damzy88: Hello Friend, after going through your write ups and viewers comments, I would say, you have the potential to achieve far more than this. Do you think 60k/month is your current worth based on your current knowledge and inputs? My dear in Life, No risk no reward. You have a choice here and that is continue to mange your 60k/M salary which is not even enough for transportation and feeding in Lagos or explore other opportunities with faith. You dont need to be scared to chase your dreams of better future. Dont compare yourself with people who are yet to get jobs or earn 35k per month. you have the power to achieve far more. Do you know you have classmates that did NYSC with you and they earn more than 19m per annum ![]() (60k per * 12months = 720k per annum) is this worth staying back for? NB The motto of the boys scout is be prepared. There is no doubt this Msc would prepare you for something far better as far as you believe. Other questions I would have loved to ask you was what did you study and what are you planning to do in Msc, what country do you intend to go to? finally Masters in US, australia and Canada is good. as far as you are open to acquiring knowledge and developing yourself for a better future. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

damzy88:I will sincerely advice that you combine the two. Most masters degree lectures are normally from 5pm daily. I don't know about the university of your choice but the university where I did my masters, our lectures starts fro 5pm to 9pm daily and 8am on Saturdays. I normally join for lectures by 6pm daily, as my job is in the banking industry. It won't be easy though but you can do it and be very successfull. Goodluck 1 Like |

You're firm right now is you're comfort zone, if you want to know what's out there or you feel you deserve more, u can quit, go get your masters and start applying for better jobs or better yet, start you're own company. That's what it should be esp in a sane clime. However, Nigeria isn't a sane clime, there are no jobs (still doesn't mean people don't get employed everyday) things are quite difficult these days. You're still very young, you have time on your hands. Believe me, if you want to get your masters, now is the best time cos once you near 26-30 there will be no time for it. My advice, juggle the two now you're still young and fit. Msc classes can happen over the weekends, still talk to your boss about it, try not to make excuses with the Msc when you're lagging behind at work. Be more focused, this means you'll have to get your priorities right....maximise your rest hours, little or no flexing and social life for the time being is worth the sacrifice. You'll have your later years for all that. I hope this helps. Goodluck. PS; you get luck o. 5 Likes |

Kai, see comments! unemployment and poverty have really turned Nigerian Youths to something else. Nobody is talking about passion again everything boils down to salary. Op, I would have advised you to quit your job since you are still living with your parents and go for Msc and proceed to PhD thereafter but i discovered your interest is not tailored towards academics. So you can apply for MILR (Master of industrial and Labour Relations) In UNILAG since you want to be a HR person. Go for part time, their lectures hold in the evening between 6 and 8pm , Mondays to Fridays. For those of you saying he can do msc programme in UNILAG without attending lectures, pls be mindful of the department. There are so many departments in UNILAG where you cant try that and succeed. Again. remember your CGPA must be up to 2.4 before you can graduate from UNILAG in MSC level. Thank you. 4 Likes |

damzy88: Bro sincerely. I'd say stay on the job and do your masters. If you are going for a full time masters of 18months please make that 2yrs of studies give or take. The primary thing here should be if your current job has opportunity for advancement and if the pay or prospect of a pay rise is good. If so stay on the job. If your parents can bankroll your studies seeing that you are young you can still go for it. But I tell you doing it part time is best |

damzy88: If you believe that academics is for you, go and complete your masters. Age is on your side, get close to your supervisors and lecturers, you can always get part time teaching they can arrange for you. It,s a tough call but you wont regret it esp if you get to have your PHD. |

To me I believe there is time for everything. You're still young, get like 1-2 years work experience, save and go for a well established Uni preferably abroad to do your Masters. Do not compromise quality because you're in a hurry. Patience is key. 1 Like 1 Share |

damzy88: No one can give you any piece of sound advice based on the information you have provided. 1.What type of work are you doing? 2.What is the pay like? 3.What advantages do you think masters will confer? 4.Which school are you considering for this masters degree? If you have a GOOD job, it's better you work for at least two years to establish what I called "work experience" It's very easy to move from one job to another but can be difficult to get your first job. Also, don't get Masters degree for masters sake; be strategic about it. For example, if you studied microbiology or chemistry and you're working in brewery, don't get your master in analytical chemistry or whatever microbiology. Do it in Brewing. That way, if you are done with masters, you can be sure of getting a job quickly. It's very easy for a candidate who has a SUITABLE work experience plus a RELEVANT masters degree to land a GOOD job. Finally, if you MUST get a masters degree at all, go to a HIGHLY rated school. 1 Like 1 Share |
