I want to commence my M.Sc programme very soon and I know it's definitely going to affect my job a little. I'm worried my boss may not grant me the privilege to run it, if I should inform him. My question is - Should I make my intention known to him or should I just ignore him and move on with the programme and face whatever comes out?
Nairalanders, who have been in my shoes I seriously need your input.

thanx bro. I just feel he should know. maybe just maybe he would encourage me.

murphyrichy:
don't tell him yet until your lectures are fixed properly, I don't know ur dept but its not a must you attend lectures. when you start you see your like minds. If you are lucky and your course mates are the working type, you guys can fix it once a week. That's how I did mine without hitches.

Lolzz!!! But no one forced you to bring your issue to nl. What do you expect when one makes his personal life public.

People are so annoying this days!!! A simple decision that they can make on their own, they will carry come nl.

Op!!! Na you know your boss! So no one here can tell whether telling him will be right or wrong but you alone. You know his behaviour.

You're mean jor!

It all boils down on his stands on schooling while working, cos I currently work under a boss that sees that as a * TABOO* How pathetic tho!

Btw, if the lectures time table does not conflict with your job, then I advice you dont tell him, cos some naija Bosses and jealousy na 5 n 6.

if you do not like this post, I do and am sure many nairalanders and visitors do. And let me tell you, the smallest thing you think is small can be a big issue for others. Am 100% sure that a primary pupil can educate you on some things you do not know.

Wao...this is a nice post.
In last 3 months I was in your shoes and was tough for me to make a straight decision. I got a job at experiential marketing agency as a data analyst under 6 months probation. Although I studied Agricultural extension and rural development but the knowledge of final year research and Research methodology and personal development in data helped me a lot. To cut the story short, I had already registered for the master even before service ended and I had one organisation that was ready to give me 200k for the program due to some analysis I did on a project during my nysc in Niger state.(VSO IMA4P). I got a job after I returned to Lagos and after a week I got admitted for my MPhil program in ife. seriously it is not an easy decision to make. Do I go for masters and drop the job or vise versa. Am on probation remember for 6 month before staffing. At last, I explained to my boss and he glandly told me to combine the two. this was his statement... common guy...scholarship is an opportunity don't miss it. You are an analyst and u have proved your worth...we will send you data through mail...analyze and send back to us... You can only visit work when necessary. Don't miss the opportunity. He knew I wanted to go into lecturing so he saw d passion for academics in me. I deliver greatly in my job with no complain so he backed me up. Although am a consultant to his plantain plantation. Neglect typos...ba3 low...no edit.

Op, this is a very serious case ooo in which may factors are and should be considered. I was faced with similar situation to decide.
You have to consider:
1. Nature of your job:- is there possibility of you being transferred to another part of the country?
2. Your location relative to the school.
3. Can you foot the bill of the program me should the job not be there again?
4. Your effectiveness in the job with the masters too.
5. what you want to graduate with at the end of the day. Etc.
.....I wish I could do it, but I couldn't continue with the MSc at a point due to the cost to me. I just pray that the factors will Favour you.
