Understanding the chemistry of life is the as aspects being an alchemist. So why will anybody in that position want to work anybody in a dark world like africa where the concept of the periodic table is still very much a mystery to the wider society? True education is the beacon that shines the light in the darkest dungeon. |

He said he had no work experience, so no wonder. But 110x is too much; something must've been wrong somewhere (his resume or interview skills, perhaps). |

Too much of education is bad, that is why most of them that have PhD etc end up working for people all their lives and teaching in Nigeria or stroking or selling handouts While the little educated people will just open up business and employ the much educated ones Irony of life |

NwaAmaikpe:You are right. The dude was obviously over-qualified for the jobs he applied for. No outfit will be willing to employ such a person as a new staff considering the high remuneration for the holder of a PhD. |

If your idea of doing a PhD is to get a job that will pay you billions, you better use your time for something else! As you can see, employers are more inclined towards work experience than certificate. He clearly stated that he had ZERO EXPERIENCE!!! With a PhD, lecturing should have been an option.... even if it is plan Z. He also didn't think of doing his own stuff. Haba.....PhD research is solving a problem, filling an industry gap. His attitude too.....na today! |
