No profession is ridiculous. In Nigeria I have come to understand that it's not about what you studied in school, but what you can offer a company that employs you. Nigeria is an employers market, this you can easily see around you by the way company's hire and fire people. To survive in this type of place you have to think about what each company your applying to wants, and when they employ you, you have to show that there is a reason to keep you and increase you pay. Saying a profession is ridiculous doesn't apply in today's concept of work, where lawyers and engineers work as well paid marketing staff for banks and insurance firms. Where accountants are well paid safety officers in oil and constructions companies(this dude tells me it pays his bill more and he can easily jump from one company to another) Where doctors are webmasters and programmers(my Bro is doctor and a webmaster, although he makes more money as a doctor) Where political scientists are sales and marketing professionals in various sectors(this applies to me. 0 to pol science, 5 to sales and marketing jobs of which three were over six figures). The age of thinking your what you studied will give you a well paid job are over. Today what attains is what you can do for an employer, because if you can't, you get Adapt, evolve or become obsolete. |

I see a lot of students commenting here. Do not look down on any profession it's not a prerequisite for who you will become in life. Once you live those four walls of school, you become the weaver of your own destiny. So please, no matter what ever course your studying that looks like it has no head in the future. Don't look down on it, or blame yourself for studying it. |

Well for the fact that I don't know how to argue in good english does not mean that I won't air my view OP, your subject matter ought to be the profession that contribute less to todays economy. many manufacturing industries are spreading from urban to rural areas and definately they all requires the services of Lawyers, marketers and finance graduates for proper business development, mind you that a graduate of banking and finance is also an accountant, am a graduate of marketing and I do tell my prospective employers my worth, I ain't cheap, employ me to increase and develop your business not to use me by paying me stipend, my profession is my pride. I attend interview on daily bases but many can't afford to pay me, the only company that knows my worth called for me to come over tomorrow for final negociation. What am saying is...... marketing is a hotcake in every organisation, ask multinational companies. we all should be worried about: Sociology and antropology Political science History and government These are the professions that their chances of employment are slim except through graduate trainee, I have never seen any job opening that requires such. profession. Above all, this is Nigeria where their is no regulation to everything, that's why a Lawyer can be employed to hawk GNLD drugs simply because he can argue.! 1 Like |

this topic making front page just when i\ve decided to go back to school to study law i remain undeterred even at my age....circa 25 to go back and do what it takes to get that degree, ridicule and rubbish or not. you guys just don't get it... its about doing what you are good at and what you love to do. there are so many who did law not because of their love and aptitude for law but solely because that was what they felt that had to do thus there is now a disproportionate mass of lawyers fighting for jobs and opportunities. But the thing is, those who deliberately chose and are choosing to study law out of a genuine love and aptitude for the profession will get those limited jobs and opportunities while those who merely tagged along as a mixed multitude of sorts will find themselves jostling at the bottom rung of the ladder. i have nothing against these ones; they are merely victims of the system but we must change this system. do what is meant for you, be diligent at it and success will not (because it cannot) elude you. 2 Likes |

Law shouldn't be on the list. Once you graduate u can practice on your own. You don't have to look for a job. quote author=swiftycool post=11760137]Personally I think law has fallen mightily from grace to grass in Naija. Many people used to see lawyers as biggest boys and girls but today its the reverse. I realised that while @uni most of us dirty scruffy looking students back then in Built environment and engineering were made to look insignificant but today most of the law undergrads then, even the senior ones presently earn less than 1/2 our monthly income despite working in some of the best private firms! So sad. So here's a list of my percieved currently most ridiculed professions. 1. LaW 2. philosophy 3. Zoology 4. Marketing 5. Banking and finance(contested by every single profession) Feel free to add urs or reject mine [/quote] |

be that as it may, the proffessionals i deeply despise are lawyers, police, bankers, politicians, staffs of religious organizations(bishops, pastors, reverends, imams etc), legislators, judges, doctors, pharmacists and pharmacologists, magistrates, biotechnicians and monopolistic capitalists. I hope you lot die real slow. Devils! |

swiftycool: The truth is that most of them bandy lawyers and say all manner of rubbish because of their insecurity and the hatred they feel towards lawyers, which in turn they transfer to the profession itself. Human beings indeed hate anything called law cos they would rather want to be anarchists, so why the hell should they love lawyers? The truth is that lawyers are necessary evils, hate them the way you want, one day you would need them badly and helplessly. The doors the title 'Barr.' can open many other titles dare not knock on it. So my dear I am good. A lawyer is someone you can either respect out of admiration or fear and most people feel unduly edgy once you tell them you are a lawyer. To this extent I understand the frustrations of NL who would not waste time in bad mouthing lawyers and denigrating the legal profession just to feel good with themselves. They would quickly point out to you how lawyers are badly paid and how they get caught up doing charge and bail but they won't tell you about lawyers they know that are doing fine. My dear the legal profession rocks; so all you haters should keep sulking while we continue to blaze the trail. 2 Likes |
