Acquiring degrees like the marks on a thermometer won't guarantee you - Olu Adegoke

If you have no plan to lecture, my dear, don't bother yourself doing MSc and PhD. 

Go get professional certificates and acquire useful skills. Acquiring degrees like the marks on a thermometer won't guarantee you. We are tired of reading "tales by moonlight" of entitled people who come online to lament about how they are offered pittance after all their degrees. 

Stop deceiving yourself, there are jobs out there, it is just that you lack the requisite skills to get them because everyone wants a lazy-man's job of tie-with-suits or what they think is a sycophant job these days - LECTURING. 

Every person with average IQ and who are mainly liabilities in a highly competitive world think the next easy thing is to wait it out doing more degrees to secure teaching positions; since performance assessment is not needed to retain such jobs in Nigeria.


Animations, Data Scientists, Builders, Plumbers, Furniture makers, Mechanics, Accounting, Mobile Application Developers amongst many other skills are in high demand in Nigeria. Stop wasting your time acquiring paper certificates. Only do so, if you have a genuine passion for teaching and research.
