Going for Masters

When I thought of doing masters, I felt it will help me get a job. But i never had interest in getting a job since i came back from my internship at routel. I went for an interview at interswitch Ltd for the fun of it, am serious... I can be very funny or crazy about knowledge. I just started my NYSC in November 2015 when I was invited for a job at interswitch Ltd in February, I was not ready for a job but it was good to learn from the interview. I was not planning to get the job, when I told a senior friend at NCCF who also came for the interview that am a Batch C corper, he was like "What are you doing here", LOL. We met this guy who had masters from U.K and we were all dazed because we were all fresh graduates. To cut the long story short, i had more experience in the field than he does and when we were put to test, he didn't go to the next phase.
If you are thinking of going for masters so you can get a job, there are so many persons who have that and are jobless. Am always against the European style of Education adopted by Nigeria, It is old, it does not work anymore because we are in a different age not the colonial age. I have friends who will employ masters student in the next few years as I will, but our career is built on what we can do and we have only a first degree. instead of wasting my money on Masters, I will spend it on getting a skill. Some masters courses actually give you a skill, you should consider those not those that will bring you to the Mercy of a first degree older like me or Samson abioye (CEO pass.ng) and co. Start or finish something someone has abandoned like Thomas Edison did. There is nothing bad in getting a job but in this economy, don't waste money on education that does not empower you with a skill. The colonial age is over and that style of education is for that age, Be smart. There are so many websites that can help u get a skill like Lynda, pluralsight.com, edx.org, cousera.com and co. Get some skills today.
