Topic: Urgent: Please I need your advice

Please I need your advice.

I would advise you carry on with your MSc program. Concerning the NNPC stuff, I would suggest you do not count your chickens before they hatch. Buy your ticket and proceed for your MSc. If eventually you get called for the job, you can forfeit the expenses already incurred and take up the job. You would recuperate this in no time with your NNPC job. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...

Study leave just doesn't come that easy, you ought to have worked for the Company for a period of time (say two years or more) before you can be granted such and mind you for an organization like NNPC, your job may not be guaranteed.

You said it all, a pigeon in hand is worth turkeys in the bush... Who knows what d outcome of NNPC would be? That you may have no heartattack or psychosis after NNPC's release go on with d UK tingy and put ur ears to the ground in anticipation for d NNPC's release...
Goodluck in your decision!

@EON DIGEST and bloodycorper, thanks a million for your advice. The advice was really insightful, I appreciate. Remain blessed.

What is your motivation for going for masters in the first place? What is your ultimate career goal? I think by the time you put all these into consideration, you will easily arrive at a decision. I was told by a friend of someone who left one of the major oil companies in Nigeria to further his studies abroad. Everything point to your ultimate career goal. What if you are unable to make the NNPC recruitment? What if after your masters, you dont get another job quickly? Put everything into proper consideration and go for the one that will make you fulfill. Most importantly, commit it to God in prayers. It is well.

@uefosa, thanks for your advice. It is well appreciated. The reason I am going for the program is to acquire skills that will make me more relevant to the society. After undertaking my program, I can set up a venture of my own with the profession. I am currently employed by the federal government and will be gainfully employed after my program. Thank a lot.

My man, u should expect to sacrifice some things (money). Since u will also hav ur return ticket, i suggest u go 4 ur msc and keep ur ears on d ground. Whenever they call u, u can defer d admission or even abandon it. Msc abroad does nt give u any guarantee to get job easily in naija. I hav a friend who has an msc 4rm london who is stil lookin 4 a job. Pls dnt miss dis opportunity 2 be a part of the hottest employers (NNPC). My man, u dnt even need advice in this case. Dont u knw dat pple study abroad so dat they can easily get job in this oil companies and here u are worrying over nothing
