Hi guys good day, trust you are all good? Please just something that is bothering me, I am 30 yrs old but I have not gone to any tertiary institution but I have the desire to enroll as soon as forms are out.

But the issue now is I don't know wether I can serve after I graduate since I will be more than 30 upon graduation, I read somewhere that I will be likely be issued an exemption certificate.

My question now's is if I was given an exemption certificate I want to know how strong the exemption certificate is when compared to the discharge certificate, in the job market how do they look the exemption certificate?

Thank you

The same importance attached to the NYSC Certificate is the same attached to the Exemption Certificate. Non is more important than the other.

My certificates isn't putting food on my table but my skills are

None

It is just for the company to be covered by he laws.

Even 15 year olds are already choosing skills over university certificate and you're a 30 year old planning to spend money and time to obtain a certificate?
Why not invest that money and time in learning a skill that will make you money.
With a skill, especially an IT skill, you make money in your own .
With a certificate, your chances of getting a job are less than 10%.
Anyway, your money... your time.

Just a piece of paper showing you served or was exempted, that's all... It adds nothing to you career-wise. If you leave the shores of this country, you'd know the paper adds nothing to you.

Your knowledge and skills are what will always be the major stuff... nobody cares about NYSC certificate and I think it should be scrapped once and for all. The scheme has outlived its usefulness.

All are for the trash can.

They have no value. To go and get apprenticed to a dealer of a fast moving product for some years and start yours when you might have finished learning the ropes is far better than any education you get in Nigeria.

Take that to the bank.

Bro go to school and get your degree.. No one knows tomorrow.. Just keep your head up.. Ignore those ones saying otherwise, all their kids are in big school learning one course or the other.

docdes:

What percentage of those who "go school" is gainfully employed. Op, instead of you to waste your money and time getting a degree from a Nigerian University, go and learn a high-in-demand tech skill. Or, even use d money play 2 odds.

Lol. You don see Nigeria finish. But you are largely correct. I spent at least 7 years in the university. What did I get in return? Nothing. It's even the skill I learnt before starting the university that's sustaining me now. Too bad. I won't repeat same mistake with my children.

Mrwhite09:
thank God for your meagre salary job. I am a lobourer who gets paid 3k daily.

😢 😭
This country is fucking useless

No single difference whatsoever.

Big 4 ing firms and some top companies only accept discharge certificate. Once they see exemption certificate, they will throw your CV inside dustbin. Exemption certificate is for those who couldn't go to school on time or studied part time, and they dont want that.

Wrong advice.
School (university) degree can still be very useful even if you learn a high-in-demand tech skill.
In the long run, a good university degree could help you to be more marketable for higher posts and opportunities.
You can be going to school and still be learning the tech skills, if possible.

Yes

Oga go learn skill.. especially in tech..read books Yiu re good to go

You're funny then PwC is not a big 4 then, una just love throwing lamba on this forum

Tayorshd87:
Baba I can't just say education is a scam but learning skill I mean tech skill is mostly lucrative and there are good opportunities to be more successful..

So non have advantages over the other

Which skills are in high demand now please? I'm considering something for my last born

Nysc bsc hnd phd scam

Get your waec, know how to read and understand anything youre good to go in life

Evidenx:
In Nigeria school na scam, especially the way education is in Nigeria.

If I give birth to my children,all of them are going to attend a technical school from the start,then all of them must have Atleast one tech skill.

Anyone who doesn't follow this path as it is now in Nigeria,will be carrying file from office to office.

About the question asked,both exemption letter and NYSC discharge certificate Carry's same weight, although both are useless and irrelevant in today's world.

The guy thinks he is Young

Even YouTube does better than 90% of Nigerian universities

The is
You won't collect the allowance and
The experiences you get there

Rubbish


T.pain and BUHARI.




Did not have any.

See 'Exe' written under NYSC...

Useless cert'..

None. I have the exemption certificate.

Akpabio22:

Nothing Concern Mr Blogger

suckprick:
Wait. At 30+ fresh graduate without work experience. You still dey talk of job market. Which job market?. The same market wey dey ask for 23yrs old with masters degree and 5yrs experience? Dey play.

To your question, It's same. Only difference is that you will miss the fun of service. Go to school to be educated, not because of job market(at your age).

Only your response pointed out the disadvantage. If I see someone with an exemption certificate, I'm almost not likely to hire them for entry level roles as I know with certainty that they are over 30. Most businesses are looking for early to mid twenties for entry level

Tayorshd87:


Do u have a computer ?

And do you have ion using computer??

because ion goes a long way

That ion is very important. A lot of people tried to dive into IT post Covid, primarily because, according to "them", it's the "new oil". Now wey market don cold and remote jobs are difficult to get, we don dey separate the wheat from the chaff.

Does PwC hire 30+ for entry level roles?
