If you have the financial wherewithal to attain a bachelor's degree in whatever course that's in alignment with your dreams then please go for it. And after that, you can go for your masters if you have the ability to do so. Don't let naysayers talk you out of it. Just make sure what you study is relevant in our present society and can be applied to solve real life problems. Even if there are countless graduates that are still unemployed, that shouldn't be where you set your sights, be positive, optimistic and still be realistic. Having the degree gives edge over those who do not and it also lays the foundation on which to build. However, the truth is, our educational system here in Nigeria are not equipped to help graduates meet the demands of the 21st century. Knowledge in every field gets outdated every seven years and you'd agree with me that our curriculum and most of the things we are being taught are theories propounded centuries before and no practicals whatsoever. The problem is general, excepting of course some private universities that have taken it upon themselves to understand the times and plan accordingly. That's why education begins after the university. Upon graduation, you should begin acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge that makes you employable because the thing is that no employer gives a hoot about your cert. They are only interested in what you can offer. If you don't satisfy a need, you won't be needed. Please read books on the subject to gain an in-depth and genuine information about the usefulness of your degree and an understanding of the job market. There is so much to know. So much my brother. And the internet is not the ideal place to get spot-on info as there are a lot of garbage and people with the wrong knowledge. Stay blessed. *#Ellie P.* 6 Likes 2 Shares |

NextD18: It's never by how much you took your time to study... and how much efforts you put to make a first class.... It's a very little percentage of individuals that excel with their certificates... A whole lot of first class graduates have digressed into ICT, against what they studied and they're progressive and innovative.... Most physics graduates can never make use of their certificates in Nigeria, whether with first class or a pass!! What about guidance and counselling graduates?? How many schools employ counsellors these days? Psychologist nko? 1 Like 1 Share |

If you dont get a University degree in Nigeria, no matter how rich you are, there is still a part of you that will be haunted with inferiority complex. Ask Chief Olusegun Obasanjo an Army engineer who still went back to the National open University to get a degree in Bible and read up till Phd 2 Likes |

Lol Noi cannot influence the election of ordinary council chairman in her region, the iya oloja in my village can influence thousands of votes to elect a governor in my state, . And I will still repeat that it's due to the same cattle politics that you are talking about that got her the IMf position or even world bank sef . .

Bachelor's degrees are useful, I will always encourage people to obtain one if possible. Once you manage to get your foot through the door, however, you realise sometimes it's a lot more about who you know and whose ass you kiss than merit 3 Likes |

Degree or no degree, we would advice everybody to get a skill in this age and time. Your degree is not useless, but don't depend sorely on it. Sometime in my 200 Level in the University many years ago, I was burdened and couldn't sleep that night because I was thinking about the way forward in life with all the pessimistic stories I read online. I came to Nairaland and asked this same question on this forum. People gave their divergent views, the unserious ones make a joke out of it as usual, but I wouldn't forget the comment of one man. He told me that the sole aim of education is to develop your mind and equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills set which you would need to survive in life. He however, stated that the problem with Nigeria is that we focus on the certificate which is where we get it wrong. Translate all the things you were taught in school into praticals, and you can never be poor. School creates opportunities and I can never accept that school is scam. If nothing, the experiences you gather in school should be able to guide your decisions. The university is where you can try and fail, yet you wouldn't be chastised. You can't do so in real life. That advice from that man changed my life and thought process. I remain indebted to him. Whatever education you acquire, don't forget to add 'self education', that is the real deal now. The internet is the greatest gift of the 21st century, make good use of it. See my signature and contact us for any writing services today. 8 Likes 1 Share |

All this argument about degree or no degree depends on the individual. However, we all know that to succeed with degree is very narrow and even narrower these days but in the wider space u don't need a degree or any verification to succeed. There are many unsuccessful degree graduates in Nigeria compared to those uneducated fellows who have made it far without all these B.Sc and Masters many are carrying around these days. This also does not mean that people are not making it with degrees but not at the rate with those in business,this is because I am a business man and close with wonderful young and enterprising business men who are doing so well. Let us all try to be insync with realities...then all will be well. 1 Like 1 Share |

Na today I know say illiterates plenty for nairaland, education is about acquiring useful and applicable knowledge, skill, information, It's not about going to the university or College. Most people go to the university to completely waste their parent's money and their own precious time when they have a vocational skill that can be developed, with professional cert to back it up and also talents that can be polished. I have an aunt that was a good trader before going to Uni, even there she had a big store in her hostel and now after school she travels to Dubai and is into fulltime trading.. she just went to school to have the cert(what a waste of time and energy). The only compulsory school levels are nursery and primary(so that you can speak correct english and do basic arithmetic) after that find what is best for you, if it's schooling fine, a trade cool. Lastly, if you want to be rich and comfortable go to school and get a job but if you want to be wealthy, go the way of entrepreneurship. You can't rise above you employer and your best salary is just a tiny portion of the company's income. 3 Likes 1 Share |
