I Need Advice On My Travel Dilemma by Youngraven: 1:00am On Apr 22, 2020 |
I'm a young guy of 19 years and recently i was asked if I'd like to move over to germany with my sis and her family. I really loved the sound of it as travelling out has always been my all time dream but the issue is, I'm not a graduate yet neither am i admitted or attend any university yet(Was supposed to start this year though). If i were to move to germany after the pandemic, It would mean I'd have to stay back a couple of years, maybe two, before i would start schooling there to avoid unnecessary financial instability in a foreign land. The advice i really need now is to know if moving to Germany and waiting for my schooling is worth it or i should stay back in this screwed up country and finish my undergrad degree before going? Meanwhile i do well enough myself with a couple of online income sources that helps me get through the days without depending much on my parents but certainly not enough to fund myself in another country. Mods FP please, i really need good inputs on this topic |

Youngraven: You already know deep within you that you belong in GERMANY, why are you now here asking for advice? WAITING in a sound country like Germany for 5 years is SPEED compared to doing any degree in any federal university here. So go abroad, and learn ICT or some practical relevant post covid19 skill and make your life work. That's all. At 19, you really need to go before naija traps you with girls, fast but ill gotten wealth, etc.... GO MAKE US PROUD OVER THERE AND COME BACK IF YOU CAN AND HELP THOSE YOU LEFT BEHIND. 3 Likes |

ikh777:Woow! Thanks so much for this, it really helps. Honestly, i personally will only want to go there and study and stay back and so does my mum but my sis wants me to study in nigeria first and then come over. If my mom insists, then she has no choice than to let me go |

Youngraven: Finance will not be a barrier to furthering your education in Germany. Reasons are: 1. Do your search. There are some tuition free universities and courses that offer full scholarship. 2. In an environment like Germany, you might be able to get 2-3 jobs that makes you enough money to afford any tuition 3. Your online hustle will be boosted by an environment Luke Germany. If you are on Fiverr or Upwork you no longer need to hide your Nigeria location to get gigs 4. To attend university in Germany or do much of anything else, you need go through 6 months language classes. That should be your focus now. Getting a 2nd language will boost your earning capacity more than any Nigerian Degree 5. Do you need me to go on. Anyway I wrote all these not for you alone but any other Nigerian who might be seeking career counseling. Shalom 2 Likes |

TheTraveler:i guess you're right but my major concern is the financing and probably enlightenment on procedures on getting permanent residency as i don't intend EVER coming back after my studies |
Re: I Need Advice On My Travel Dilemma by Youngraven: 7:54pm On Apr 24, 2020 |
All4good:Thanks very much for this, It honestly says alot. With emphasis on number 1, I have read about quite an amount of institutions in germany that offers free education as it is more of a tradition for germany particularly to prioritize education more without regards nationality. The part I'm more woried about is the €7000+ one has to deposit in a bank even before travelling out, That is almost 3M naira and i don't think my mom is able to put together such an amount during this period. Does any of the scholarships over there help cover this amount? I don't mind the other expenses neither my parent. If any, pls I'd very much like to know about it so i can research more. I do know that DAAD amd erasmus offers grants abd fundings but they seem to only care much about masters amd phd degree pursuants more than undergrads. Please shed light on this |
