People go to university to study a course in hope of future amelioration. However,most of the many courses that used to be hot cake in time past are whitewashed with the influx of many people who just learn the course outside university in a matter of months.Going to university to study the following courses many deem to be a waste of time.The courses are:
Computer Science-countless number of people are in the known in this field.
Theatre Arts/Music- Theatre arts is a free entry and exit field.Most people in the industry have no degree in the field.
Animal Science-The course isn't marketable in a country like ours where people give no value to the life of animals.
Philosophy-This course is more valuable in the olden days where people appreciate the thinkers not in our present time.The situation of the country makes everybody a thinker to survive in this country.
Political Science:Spending years studying this course is a waste of time and resources.People are procedure conscious when it comes to politics.how many political scientists are in position of power to regulate the politics of our country.

Which course do you also think is a waste of time that you can not study as well as your family?

Mass communication.Nowaday any graduate of any course can venture into journalism

Would have A-OK you if you had mentioned "in Nigeria universities".. who told you and what research have you carried out to make arrived at the conclusion that those courses are useless and waste of time?..you are thinking from a Nigerian perspective though..and i think this topic has been treated before..but always remember this.."No knowledge is waste"..

DUMBEST POST EVER... Hw many of doz ppl hu studied d couses hav come to ur house to ask 4 money?... Education is smthing dat adds immense value to an individual and his art. Ppl hu studied diz courses cannot b compared to doz hu jst freely entered it, knw dat.

ACCOUNTANCY every tom, tick and tarry are making it big in this career via ICAN
anyway before i sign out i want to let the AUTHOR know that our worth is non-negotiable

I agree that this is the dumbest post ever. I mean there should be a way to regulate post. A persob like this op should be on suspension. First of all what course did you study? Are you making six figure salary? Nigga how dare you say political science is a waste of time to study. i m going to refrain from calling you names, but nigga u re one dumb nigga. Where did you get the notion that the face you read political science you have to be a politician. To go ahead and study Yoruba in the university is not a waste of time either. You don't have the slightiest idea of the advantage of a university degree.
Nigga you so dumb, soo dumb. I mean what were you thinking?

I had to come back, bobo yii you are dumb dumb dump.

I'm sorry for the post if it offends viewers.it's only an assumption a pal brought up for debate.with the opinions garnered here,it's obvious that no knowledge is a waste.

I don't think there any course that's a waste of time because we are go to the university to seek knowledge and there's no knowledge that's a waste. Although they are courses that their services are not needed because of the economic situation of your country but that doesn't mean their services are not necessary. One of my lecture always tells us that "Your first degree is just what tells your employer that you are ready to learn". For me i believe that an engineer is just as important as a political scientist.

Note well
1. There is no course that is a waste to any one who has a vision but a man who has no vision, even after studying medicine has wasted his time. The word course simply means a path. So the wquestion is your destination(goal) first before the path(course)
“Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I'll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I'll give you a stock clerk.” Penney, J. C.

2. Nuture by Nature: build your career according to what u do naturally without effort, apart from the fact that you will enjoy the course and your eventual career, you will live longer following your passion than trying to satisfy society by living a fake life. Life is not all about money. There are six ingredients of success and 'financial freedom' is only one of them. Did you consider peace of mind, personal fulfillment, etc.

*PDude that is about to comment after me is a medical doctor for instance but spends all his time on Nairaland-that is career misfit. *

3. Your degree is not just to get a job: I understand that many of us go to school in other to get a better job, but that is the goal of a man with no vision. JOB simply means Just Over Broke. The richest and happiest ones are not following the norm,they follow a place where there seems to be no road and leave a path

Anyway watch out for my soon to be launched 3 volume-book, "Courses & Careers-An Encyclopaedic Approach" it will answer most career challenges in Africa

Every course studied in Nigeria nowadays is a useless course.



Unless your relative has good connections in Nigeria, you are just wasting your 4 years in school. Lecturers dont even teach anything of relevance these days.

Botany and geophysics and microbiology and environmental biology and history and theology and religious studies and architecture

no knowledge is a waste of time

The bullshite that makes frontpage at times baffles me to my marrow.

Nigeria is a country in deep shite, getting a university is a means to an end, an end of meeting basic requirement to have a good job. Most employers do not care what you read but just want to know you graduated from school and prove it too.

This is Nigeria. No course's a waste of time. Ask GEJ and Madam P.
