A careful selection of an appropriate university education will have either positive or negative effect on one’s career in the future based on such factors as: accessibility, affordability, future career potentials, educational standards of the chosen university or appropriate accreditation and Information, Communication and technological status of the selected university.

 
University education for many is hardly accessible of late. Many are those who are abjectly cut from their preferences in education they need today to meet their future career requirement. By accessibility, I mean making the educational potentials in terms of structures, materials readily available without let or hindrance and in easily reach to aid in one’s socio-economic development. This also suggests that a vast number of people within a given geographical area must enjoy these accesses at a given period of time.

When this is done, people from different geographical locations may have the opportunity to wider their personal advancement and may see a brighter future.
The two main folds of lack of this accessibility in education may cause an abating turns in people development and likelihood of facing poverty. The availability of this will also mean making people having career qualities to satisfy job market and being positively changed in life.
 

What is the immense challenge then if there is accessibility, but no or less affordability?

In most quarters of the developing economies and the developed economies alike, people still cannot afford to pay tuition fees of a mere $1,200US per semester. This figure quoted is even though under-quoted to attest to the difficulty and the challenge people are facing in the issue of educational affordability.

Where people can afford a decent university education, hope in life may seem pessimistic. Most of the day’s universities are offering a non-employable starter course which helps a graduate to move-up himself without seeking non-existing employment. The influence under this point comes either in positive or negative if the universities today must shift from more theoretical to practical.
 
The written too is clearly on the wall that most of our universities are not operating with the appropriate accreditation. What happens sadly to unfortunate unformed people who are droved into this unscrupulous business class who are just there to deceive people?

What are the so called movers and shakers of the world doing to salvage mankind from these business-barbarisms? Applications of many graduates are silently rejected or turned down for questions of accreditation on the universities they once attended.

Information, Communicational and Technology (ICT) is taking a vital role in every facet of life today. What is happening to most Africa’s universities which have not advanced up the modern ICT status? They are or may face a bleak future. University prospective applicants who are serious may assess the modern ICT status of a university before initiating an application processes. Improvement in all these areas will make our teaching - learning environment better and reliable prospects for us to enjoy.
