Bro, the country has never been this bad. First class graduates are even teaching in a private schools earning 30k naira/month. Is it not better to go to another man's land to do 4th class job and earn several hundreds of thousand of naira? Only few graduates are lucky to get that lucrative jobs in Nigeria these days. Nigeria is in deep mess! olioxx: 6 Likes |

Guruindahouse:. . I hope you factor in currency valuation. The money earned from doing menial jobs are high in the Naira because of the foreign currency having a higher value. If you do menial jobs abroad,the person is likely to live paycheck to paycheck, remember bills, high cost of living, and taxes. . I am not against anyone advocating menial jobs in foreign lands, but I believe that if you know your job well and if you have an indemand skill, omor na foreign jobs go dey rush you. . I know people who left Naija and didnt do menial jobs, but instead got an offer, albeit they are all IT jobs. . 1 Like |

Guruindahouse: Good evening guru himself, I just stumped on the thread and I have been reading it since morning, by God's grace I will be in Germany this year for my Msc in applied Geoscience at RWTH Aachen University,Germany. Normally Germany gives you 18 months to look for jobs related to your course and immediately you get one, your road to permanent residency just got activated. From the information I get, getting a professional job after Msc ain't easy, that's why I have started learning their language online while in Nigeria and I plan going into IT field in order not to carry all my eggs in one basket. Which of these IT field is needed in Europe and won't be hard to learn? I am contemplating going into networking as I have no experience in programming and really, it appears so boring to me |

ibrahimovic303: I must say that you are doing a wonderful job here Ibra. I am admitted for a masters degree in Germany and this news about IT being in great demand in Europe has really made me willing to have a foot there too. Can you recommend the best way to go about it? I really wanna get a professional job upon graduation in Germany 1 Like |

To quickly answer your question, software development and data analysis is very popular these days. I am not sure about networking though, note that I am not an IT guy myself. I will suggest that you go to German job portals such as www.indeed.de and see for yourself jobs (IT) that are numerous there. Goztino: 2 Likes |

olioxx:Smiles, different persons with different luck. Even in Nigeria, not everyone that is excel in their profession get what they want. You are a little bit far from reality with the menial job. I just want to tell everyone that you should zero your expectations and be ready to start from somewhere. Like a Yoruba adage says " Ojó tabá ga kóni ama kan òrun" which means you don't grow to reach your final height in one day. The same menial job is what many people are doing and they are king when they come home. Again, it is not true that you live on paycheck to paycheck, not all menial jobs are like that. Many menial jobs can pay your rent and still have savings. Come to Finland, many grown up men are doing menial jobs, yet they have had their own home with exotic car and still doing lots of projects back home. Do you know what it takes to have home abroad? It is not easy anywhere, it's just determination, hardwork, and God's favour. In a nutshell, zero your expectations anywhere you are heading to, be it US, UK, Canada or Aussie. All the best. 8 Likes |

Guruindahouse:. . The old way is expiring bro. . . Those graduate with meagre salaries are their own problem. We are in a JET age where you need skill(s) to supplement yourself. . I once worked a 50k per month job, but I considered the job thrash. I resigned with no predefined job(s). I hone my skill, I learnt from a teacher, and I am a proud tech guy today with decent compensation. . . Look those few graduates that have lucrative jobs are those that have an indemand skill(s), and the companies are ready to dole out the cash on em. . Yes Nigeria is usless, but even with that you are not hindered to learn a skill(s) today and enjoy the blessings tomorrow. NO PAIN NO GAIN... . . I am open to constructive critism. . 1 Like |

ibrahimovic303:. . Bro Ibro, las las na skill(s). In Western world, craftmen with the skills are earning the cash. . . Just have a skill and you will be fine. But Ibro dont call these menial jobs, they are just skills you possess. . Ok if I am a Barber(Hair stylist), will you say I'm doing menial job. NO! . Menial jobs entails: Cleaners, Waste/Refuge parking workers, etc. . . But if you are a bricklayer, hair styling, tailor or fashion designer, you ain't doing menial, but you have a skill. .

My Oga dem in the house, I greet una wella. I've been following this thread jejely and I must confess I'm truly inspired. Now I have some questions I'd like some unbiased and genuine answers. One of my friends is seeking an advice from me regards to travels and I want to know where I'd advice him to go. I think I like Estonia due to a few recommendations here but I'm open to suggestions. Now, the issue at hand is funds and he wouldn't want to go the study route(because of the fund issh). He's currently serving but want to start making plans. So I want to know other 'easier' ways to travel except study and its possible procedures if you have clues. Lest I forget too, he was having thoughts opting for arraigned marriage too if it'll be possible too. Thanks in advance for your detailed inputs. |
