Do you have a minimum of second class lower and yet no Job?

Then, take a few minutes and read this article. Let me be sincere: I have no job to offer you personally but want to introduce you to something which you may not even like after all: Graduate studies. I understand it may be difficult to conceptualize going for graduate studies. Hmm not now. Yes, you are done with undergraduate studies and the next thing in your mind is find a job in a top company, make cool money, and follow a career, and later settle down to an enjoying life with your family. That's the dream of many students graduating each year. Sadly, the above is only true for a select few while majority continue to a life of penury. It has nothing to do with your result as many first class are roaming the streets today searching for non-existent jobs. That’s the prevailing situation in many countries today and Nigeria is not an exception.

But you may ask: what has this got to do with graduate studies? A lot my dear.  What many have not realized is graduate study is a form of job, a rare job where you are paid to develop yourself thus brightening your chances of even finding a better job upon graduation. How about collecting a take home of $1500 dollars monthly after tax as a student for four years following doctoral studies? Not bad for a student roaming the street and wasting away. American is hungry for such students, good students but when will people take this opportunity and open future paths for themselves?

Don’t even think in that direction. You don’t pay any school fees as you are given a tuition waiver scholarship. You don’t need a master degree to apply and it does not cost much to apply either. All you need do is  write GRE/TOEFL, order for academic transcript(s), get recommendation letters from your past lecturers, write a statement of purpose and then submit everything to a number of universities. Yes, that’s all and all you need is just a positive response from one school and your journey to US begins where all is not rosy but all can be made rosy: it all depends on YOU.

The real truth is students from unexpected countries are utilizing these opportunities. In my first year in America, half of my class were Chinese, a substantial number from India, some from South America, a few from Europe while I was the only black African in a class of fifty five students. I was happy but equally sad.  Happy that my dreams of obtaining a PhD in a top university finally came true but terribly sad that a good number of my peers are wasting away in Africa and indeed Nigeria when what needed to be done was taking a step of faith and file applications to a number of appropriate schools . Will you take that step today? Like I said, you may not like it after all, but if it resonates with you strongly, then continue to frequently asked questions and don’t hesitate to leave (email or leave a comment) me a message if you have any question that’s not covered.
