Computer Science My Field

Over the years, we have been trained to believe that education is the key to success, and that anyone who is not very educated can not possibly make it big in life. But is that really true?

So here's my definition of an educated man: He is a man who has been imparted with the ability to use the skill or idea he has learned to benefit himself as well as the world around him.

From my definition and perspective of what education really is, I discovered that I needed to learn a lucrative and a more skilful course in school to be able to make it big in life.

At my primary school level, I had no precise idea of the field of study I should venture into. I had so many aspiration to become so many things, lol.

In one period of my life I remembered saying I wanted to be become a doctor, in another period I said I wanted to become a lawyer, and I continued like that in career confusion, lol.

God so faithful, when I was in my first year in the Senior Secondary School, we were guided into career paths, and I ventured into the science field.

While in my secondary school, I was always researching for an easy course in the field of science to venture into in the higher institution, because I was looking for a lucrative course that wasn't that hectic or stressful.

Computer Science was a course suggested to me by a senior friend of mine, and I went into the higher institution to study computer science which included Programming, Data analysis, Cybersecurity, Networking and so on..

To God be the glory, I am now an Higher National Diploma (HND) graduate of Computer science, having spent nothing less than 5 years in this field of study.

It was while I was schooling, I realized that 5 years was really a very long time to be a student. The amount of money and mental stress that was exhausted during this period was really something else.

They were days I wished I never began schooling in the first place, because I was stranded financially at that time. Infact while I was still in school, I told myself that I won't push further after this current stress.

It's not up to 3 month since I graduated, and I am focused on making money through diverse means before thinking of even furthering my education. I believe life in school would be so much easier and fun-filled if you are financially balance.

However, if I become completely financially independent, I would like to further my education by venturing into Networking and Cloud computing, a sub-course in the field of Computer science.

Cloud Computing and networking are basic courses that can be helpful in business and other aspects of our daily lives.

Even if I intend to venture into business, I would be needing the knowledge of cloud computing and networking because they could both help me to store data and information about my business and even more.

My business information can be accessed and handled by team members and we could all move the organization to greater heights.

Like I said from the beginning of this post, education is more relevant when we learn new skills and ideas that can help us move our lives further.

And because learning never ends, it wouldn't be a bad idea to continue acquiring new skills and knowledge for a better future.

Thanks for your time here.
