StUdY1:I quote you directly so you will get my response. I was in to construction(brickslayer) after my secondary school which was at early stage of my life asca result of bad situation but the situation later turned good after few yrs of hard work and commitment. at 22 I was foreman, at 23 I was getting contracts in hundreds of thousands and at 24 I was earning by superving others but I felt I needed to get it right by going to school, yes I was right but I was wrong when I didn't find a way to build on the area of my skill. I went into a different area and came out as one of the best but couldn't get job do age limit for entry level position in that field, later found job elsewhere where I am also doing fine but I am emotionally starving of my skill. each time I see construction going on, I feel like fixing myself in there. I can easily point out mistakes to engineers who dont know my background. if you most wait one extra year to gain admission to study a course that compliment your skill, Pls do. this will enable you to avoid disappointment of not getting job after school 2 Likes |

Moreoffaith:you can’t drop your skills for certificate. A skilled person without certificates has so much limitations. An electrician wishing to study physics is a great one. A bricklayer studying construction, a tailor studying fashion designing. Find a compliment academic education to your skill. he will remain an technician whilst someone with a certificate will become his boss. He can combine both! 1 Like 1 Share |

StUdY1: Op don't let any one deceive you, certificate is very important. You'll need them in future. I used to be like it's not it's, I just finished my first degree and Nysc and would be applying for my masters next year. you need some level certification to make things easy for you in today's world. And add prestige to your overall personally when you meet people Please make your education a priority. Thank me later |

Stem courses can never be a waste. In as much as I advocate getting your skills, with a background in the sciences/physics, the sky is your limit. Combine both studying and skill aquisition, and you will be better for it |

alizma: You're the only one who made common and practical mincemeat of this dilemma faced by the OP. Thumbs up, bro! People don't know that tertiary education should compliment a skilled worker as he isn't in need of the papers but a polished skill. A lot who advised are either still in school or haven't gone into the Labour market. Even those in the Labour Market who advised are underemployed but they don't know it because they just want something to bring money in. OP, focus on your skill and keep learning to be a better skilled personnel. If you need to learn further, don't limit your search to Nigerian Public Universities alone but to any sort of institution whether home or abroad that can enhance you. It is your skill that will feed you and make you the person you want to be, not the papers that most are advising you to go collect. FOCUS ON THAT! 1 Like |

winj3:They are not Builders and I'm educating you. To become a Builder, you need to be a graduate of building technology then write different examinations conducted by National Institute of Building (NIOB), attend about 6 workshops and 6 conferences then undergo siwes under a registered Builder before you can also become registered. Note- Do not mistake a bricklayer as a builder. You can surf the web for more info |

StUdY1: An Education is Highly important! I didn’t say a degree. Sm people have degrees and it’s totally useless and worthless to them. U have to know what ur end goal is and what will take u there be it Education or skill. I will always advise u go to skol and get urself Educated it’s only four years. Ur biz may suffer unless u can focus and combine the 2 well enough or run a part time program. U also have to weigh the potential of ur course and what exactly u can achieve with it, do u plan to get a job with it afterwards and what career path do u intend to follow with it? If u choose skill make a clear path on how u can achieve ur goal with it the maximum. All these will guide u to a proper decision. |

If you are planning to be an employee, certificate is really important but if you are planning to be stand alone, focus more on developing your skills though the certificate is an added advantage. I'm a graduate, worked as an employee but presently on my own using my developed skills. The thing is that you should build yourself in the area of your skills. Physics is quite wide and will improve you in the area of your skills but don't let anyone tell you that it's much more important than your skills. I know several successful individuals who didn't smell the gate of a tetiary institution yet the contracts and money controlled by these men can pay the salaries of the Universities workers combined. The ball lies in your sac behind your dilly willy. I wish you success in whatever choice you pick |

StUdY1: You can have the best of both worlds. By that, I mean you should further your studies and continue with the business. Belief you me, you will be glad you did in the nearest future. I must remind you though,that it may prove to be hard,but with God/Allah on your side and of course hard work, you shall come out victorious. I wish you the best. |

I can remember the registrar back in AOCOED used to say, if you want to be a farmer, be an educated farmer. Being in university doesn't stop what you do, you just need more time for your studies as you're juat been admitted for a good stand then balance things together as you go on! |

Skill rules the world now. If you are going to struggle to pay your school fees, please face your skills and passion. Develop it to the best. Forget the admission and face your business. If your parents are rich and can foot your school fees, go to school and take your passion as a side hustle. Never struggle to pay your school fees when you have options of starting your business. 1 Like |

Only people with handwork can enjoy Buhari regime . E.g programming for money , Provinding solution throught programming and other skills. U can as well differ your admission if u do t have the financial power to run it now. Differing admission is like freezing your admission untill u are ready to start. And u don't need to write another JAMB. |

Pursue a career while focusing on your skills. You think pursuing a career will limit your skills but it is the other way round. |

pls, you can still go to school and still hold onto u skills,they are breaks in schools and you can still create time to improve on ur skills. one thing I believe in a country like this that certificate is over rated. with you skills I think u still need the bragging right that you have a certificate and u have seen the four wall of a high institution.. |

Education is a total deception of the century! After studying in school u still come out to look for job that may not exit even if u manage to get any they might be paying u 20k for a start is dat not wickedness ?education makes u a slave to the rich and only teach u how to work for other people for over 30years of ur life and retire poor and will never teach u how to make money urself! But as an entrepreneur u make others work for u and u have ur freedom as the boss of ur own . Note that those who loves security will never have freedom. Bro better focus on ur skill and build it up than wasting 5 to 6 year in school and still end up as a slave to another man just think twice b4 u act! |

u can still be doing what u do best and earn a degree in Physics.Electronics is a part of Physics discipline.You'd be more amazing in electronics if you earn a degree in Physics.Find a way to run them both, u'd do better on the long run.If u can't run them both simultaneously, then complete your career in physics, it would throw more lights n open greater opportunities in your electronics endeavors in the long run. |
