Professional courses are relevant in your field of study.It will further enhance your skills

Philosophy no important

Imagine the world without doctors, who will be there to save lives, imagine the world without engineers and architects, imagine the world without lawyers, imagine the world without accountants.... Guess that will answer your question

professional course tells the world about your level of knowledge as compared to a bsc holder. it means u have more knowledge about ur discipline. cos a professor is defined as someone that knows a lot about a single discipline.

Just have a specific area of specialization...and focus on it,professional or not! Chikena...

Op answered himself

in a developping country like 9ja
we seriously need professionals (especially those in the sciences) not just Bsc holders.

The number of students that apply for bus. Admin and pol. science is annoying.

What of those who are successful without any professional qualification?

*wrong-ROOM*! + the Title does not reflect the actual entails by the @OP! Now 2d Question @Topic! My Answer is totally No! If u're seeking a Job & totally Yes if you already have a Job! + I have like 4 professional courses certificate including OCA & DBCA from India & still no Job! So it's totally irrelevant once u don't have a connection! *sighs

Babaneh: professional course tells the world about your level of knowledge as compared to a bsc holder. it means u have more knowledge about ur discipline. cos a professor is defined as someone that knows a lot abount a single discipline.

That's true. It gives you an edge particularly in these era of numerous jobless graduates but it is not a guarantee for success.
