Hello,
I will advice to think carefully before you take a decision.
Let me give some fact about sweden because i came back in June 2006 from a Masters Programme in
Advanced Techniques in Radio Astronomy and Spaceat Chalmers in Gotheburg
First it is good to have a foreign masters degree but the problem in sweden is you need about
7,000SEK(#140,000) MONTHLY for the compulsory 9months of your masters course work.
because there is no job in sweden to survive on(i mean no job not like England).
So, if you plan to go for the masters and finish successfully you need to leave nigeria with
aleast 2millon Naira.(no any short cut) you need the money to survive.
The second thing you have to consider is after the Masters you have to come or stay there
a look for a job.
I am from sweden since June 2006 am yet to secure a befitting job of my qualifications.
another friend that study Naval Architeture is now a contractor after he failed to secure a job up
to the position he left in 2002.
Another friend fortunate with cadbury and another in Shell after he did two Masters in Sweden.
Finnally, the decision lies in your hands you know your background and how easy to raise the fund
and how connected you are in Nigeria since you also know that job in Nigeria can be obtained
through three means
Merit(15%)
who you know(Man know man)(80%)
By luck or Chance(5%)
Bye for now
Abayomi

Man, it all depends on 'you', your character, your person. I know people who went to Sweden to study and came back with tales of woes, and I have a friend who is currently studying there, and is making it such that he says he'll stay put after his studies. It's different strokes for different folks, so if you are someone who's determined, hardworking with a never-say-die attitude, go for it, but if you are laid-back, happy-go-lucky person, who likes to have it nice and smooth, please stay back and stick to your present security, your job. Afterall, as Abayomi has said, there's no guarantee that you'll find a rosy job when you return, armed with your foreign masters degree. All the best man. Cheers

well, 4me i think it wil be good if u do ur master program first, so far is free. Best of luck

please can u send me any link for free Masters in Sweden

[email protected]

I will advice you to go for your masters whether in Sweden or elsewhere, masters is Masters

Larlabyancer,

Visit www.studyinsweden.se

you'll find all institutions in Sweden there, they are tuition free.

cheers.

bros i would have loved you to sit down and think about your personal statute, if it worth it to leav your job and accept such offer pls go ahead but if not, stay back and embrace your God given job, above all seek for God's counsel.

you dont need any body to tell you what to do on it. life is a risk pls just decide your self cos it is ur future.

pls make sure u've secured the admission and concluded your flight arrangement before dropping the job. Also examine the course you are offered to study and see whether it is worth it, remb that free admission like like this might has its risk, have u consider the risk involved?
I advise u go for the free master course ONLY after careful analysis, we can't continued to be fooled by whites by "free stuff promises" Wishing u the best in your careful and prayerful decision.

my candid opinion is that you go for your masters abroad.we need to be optimistic in life knowing fully well that Nigerians have predilection for anything foreign. I believe swedish education is qualitative and you would have the international clout needed to be highly marketable not just in naija but in the globe as a whole.

Hi Abayomi,
This is Cyprian, a friend that Studied Masters in Power Generation at KTH in Stockholm.Sweden.
I know you when I visited your school to see a friend called Ojule and blessing Ibe who is now in Canada. How are you , what is happening in Nigeria generally as per jobs level.I haven't reach home since then, currently on contract job in the UK.
Hope to hear from you soon and do have a nice time.
Thank
Cyprian

My Dad used to tell me that when I see something and am sure that I want it, then I should go for it. Masters isn't all about surviving if I may say. Life is really not all about what you have achieved but it's all about what you can, have, will do for yourself. You wanna go, go don't let other poeples opinion distract you. It's good you came out but then it's all in your head. I don't want to share my experience with you, it might shake you up but just a little, I like your courage but then you gotta make your desicion buddy. Wish ou all the best though.

Go for it man,

whichever case it's a win-win situation for you.

Studying abroad changes your perception and opens up a lot of possibilities for you.
It may be difficult though but it's worth it a million times.

I left a 2.5M job to come to Britain for studies,
i am not regretting my decision at any moment.

Check out the most successful people around, they took giant steps at some point in their life.
This is yours, take it.

a word is enough for a wise

DONT LISTEN to negative stories, dwell on the positive ones.

Best wishes

Just one question sir Why sweden?

considering the various discrimination here and there in this country, one would be left with no other option than to explore every opportunity open to him to forge ahead in life. Meanwhile, as others have rightly said it is your life you know what is good for you

though life is not always a bed of roses they say but with determination and doggedness u can achieve your desired dreams.i advise you go to Sweden to study.At least you are going there to study.Even if you do not go you will still have to do the masters in Nigeria and they say whatever worth doing at all worth doing well.My friend you better go and do it cos it affords you much better opportunities in future.I also got admission for Bsc.
