Should I Go Back To School Or Keep Job-hunting? by boma4success: 2:02pm On Dec 13, 2016
Pls advice me!
I had HND in Surveying and Geoinformatics and I just finished my youth service in Nov. dis year. I av applied for all d advertised Federal govt jobs(both civil and military) dat falls under d category of my profession within dis recent months, I as well applied to further my education (PGD) in UNN and thank God I've been given admission. Now, b4 I enlist wat actually is bordering my mind, I'll please like u to take d following into consideration:
i) considering d uncertainties of securing job as early as possible in ds country most especially for a commoner like myself
ii) considering the fact that at any point in time I might b called upon for interviews or exams or even appointment on any of d jobs I av applied for
iii) and lastly, considering the huge amount of money I av to pay in school for all fees and other expenses.
Wat would u advice me to do Pls?
Should I go back to school and forget about d job for now even if dey call me, or stay back home and keep waiting for deir calls(hopefully dey call early)?
Pls note dat I applied for NNavy DSSC and I av been shortlisted for test(eventhough no one can predict wat will still happen afterall).
I'll appreciate ur swift and kind advices. Thanks

I think u should still proceed with your pgde while waiting for job cos u getting job is not guaranteed but your admission is sure and it won't be nice if at last u forfeit d admission and u didn't get d job

You can't leave certainty for uncertainty, many people lost many opportunities because of the assumption that they might call them for interview which they didn't get the interview after many months. Pls go and do your pgd.

Why not go for a bsc in the university. Pgd is just another diploma.

if the job is not forth coming you can go ahead and embraced the admission. At least it will be keeping you busy in the long run.

@OP, why not go for a b.sc you have a HND meaning you will enter into 300L, for the sake of the future why not try get a bsc, a pgde wont stop discrimination.

Thanks alot to everyone for d contributions, but d idea of going back for BSc I guess is not gonna work for me as age is not really on my side. I bliv He will do d best for me wt Wat he has given me. I need PGD to apply for d registration of my pursuit as a recognized/licensed Surveyor in Nigeria and I as well plan to use my PGD to further for my Masters at any point in time, God's willing....
