O Lord, thank you!!! I find the bulk of advice here useful. I presently work as a call center agent but have been thinking of leaving d job. What i find interesting here is d advice on 'work experience'. I am barely 9 months in d job, with wat i have learnt from here i have to stay back & build myself for better opportunity. As for d OP, I carry God beg u, no leave ur job!!! I made dat mistake 3 yrs ago to quit my job dat i used to sponsor myself in school & everything for the National Service scheme when i have d chance to retain my job. I regret dat decision & I am yet to recover from d pain, loss & setback resulting from dat mistake. |

Am so happy that u want to do your masters, I was once in your position, I finished my Nysc I go a job 6 month after, and two month after I got the job, I equally got an admission, I have issues on which one to go for. Ppl that are working will tell u to work, while ppl that are in sch will tell u to come a study, but the truth is, go back to sch and study. I did the same and now am done with my masters and am still working @ my previous place of work. I was not easy bro and my sch is far from lagos and I had to quiet my job for the sch. The truth now bro, is that if I remember that am going to work, I will feel like weekend should always come by. In conclusion bro, u can always get jobs and beleive me, jobs are out there. 7 Likes 1 Share |

If you like you can do your masters online at national open university ... In that way you will still be working full time |

First issue, what will then happen after d masters? U'll then get a 200k job? - fairy tales. A lot of times, msc is not a big advantage. professional certification is certainly better for ur area of interest. I'll advice u stick to ur job. Since it doesn't pay too much, what u should b doing is looking for another job while trying to see how u can get a certification and necessary skill set. |

takleboy: I love, I mean I really cherish logical people. You nailed it. Its easy to proffer out of context advices. Op how much is the salary? Do you have a guarantee you will get another job after the masters? If the personnel manager is friendly, you may approach him for advice. |

Kirinwa:60k, I work on Saturdays. |
Re: I Want To Leave My Job For Masters by pawn89(m): 9:40pm On Jun 14, 2015 |
I will advice you to remain on the job, gather as much experience as you can, maybe 3yrs or 4yrs after which you may apply for your masters degree, depending on your choice of discipline and area of working experience you may get a tuition waiver as well as monthly stipend if you apply to universities abroad. Good luck... |

Retain your job and do part time masters degree programme. |

I hear people here talking about him doing a professional course,from experience,professional course is meant for people with hands-on experience related to the professional course they are writing. Professional courses may not be so relevant in some field while in some it is highly imperative. You have to be thoughtful before you invest in any professional course. I thought writing a professional course will earn me a quick job after grad, I was wrong, I was told I need hands on experience that the course is nothing,they aint even willing to give a chance for training,while graduate trainee programme don't require any professional course |

Have learn a lot from here ooo @OP yours in better because your still at decision stage. As for me, have been admitted, paid school fees before asking the question someone asked earlier on this thread.. "why am I doing this masters self" Like you, I have a job too.. Am like a personal assistant to a petroleum merchant.. Supervise and audit the account of 4 of his stations. My salary by the book is small but my off the book income is like time three (hope you get what I mean by off the book)... But am of the opinion that it's a one man business and bla bla bla... that I need a career job.. Am underutilized and other things. I was still valuable and my boss ask all station managers to send daily report to me for review... That's my first week in school... Then I had a second thought.... Considering the economic situation of Nigeria, I felt if I blow this chance, it s my fault. A week later, it's fuel scarcity that lasted for weeks and I have to return back to work. Now and keenly looking into various options that has been mentioned here. OP, am not here to say you shouldn't pursue your masters.. But weigh the cost.. Leverage on all the factors earlier mentioned on this thread. I graduated with 2.1 Economics too and I can count many aptitude test have attended with M. SC holder in attendance. Cheers |

Manufor:yh! there is, part time and professional msc are mostly scheduled for weekends to accommodate the working class but the duration is longer sha, say minimum of 3 yrs. with professional msc, u cant proceed for Phd. it is good for those on fields and not academics. |

sseunth: ever heard or seen someone who never stepped in the classroom, just scanned through the lesson materials, didn't cheat or cut his way through and came out unscathed? it's a big fat lie waiting for the truth...you guys need to be realistic a bit,he's working till Saturdays...that's damn tough,if he decides to combine work and school, one must suffer. bro,you've got to decide Nd plan your life....what do you want? will your master's cert get you something close/better than what you have now within short period? if yes,go for it...if no,it's your dilemma. what if you plan to work for 3more years,get the experience then proceed to school, improve your experience and aim high? just think and decide whichever you're comfortable with good luck ![]() 1 Like |
