As a fresh graduate of the Nigerian university system, I've seen my fair share of students struggle to combine schooling and a career in tech. Depending on a few factors, such as grades, motivation, financial status, etc., students often leave one to better focus on the other. As a person who just left the system and was able to manage both to a certain degree of success, I would love to guide undergraduates in the system on how to minimalistically manage school while still having enough time to work in tech and even upskill.
