Marketability doesn't depend only on the course one studied, it depends on the person. There are many graduates of these courses who are still jobless. That shows that there is a difference between paper qualification and employability. The most important thing is to invest in yourself and have passion for what you want to do. The question is, what do you have to offer?

with your first class you will earn around 50k-65k for a start while a 2.5-3.5 industrial chemistry graduate is earning 200k-500k for a start when employed

Caveat: This is not based on hard data but on observations. It is compiled by JarusHub editor and 2 other contributors to this portal. Note also that this is not based on who earns the highest salary, but who has potential to earn decent income with his degree. Potential is the operative word here.

Here we go:

10. Mass Communication/Journalism: Mass Communication will remain a marketable because not many Universities do it, but many institutions need it. The downside is, journalism is not seen as exclusive preserve of MassComm graduates, as graduates of almost any course are recruited by news outfits. Yet, the course still stands a decent chance.



9. Law: Maybe the supply is fast outstripping demand and affecting pricing, Law has declined in economic value. However, it remains a Top 10 course. Whether you decide to practice or go into corporate world, or you decide to go into allied things like real estate agency, you still stand a decent chance of earning decent income with a Law degree.

8. Nursing/Laboratory Science: Nurses don’t earn mouth-watering pay, but they are hardly jobless. I see Nurses change jobs like clothes. Hospitals and clinics – private and public – are springing up everyday, and a medium size clinic needs at least 4 Nurses. Some may have as much as 20. Same goes with Lab scientists, although in lower demand.

7. Mechanical, Electrical & other related Engineering courses: Engineering courses generally sell in the oil and gas industry. In addition these courses are also asked for in other major industries.

6. Economics/Accounting/Finance: The good thing about Economics is that it fits into many roles. I hesitated to include Accounting here because Accounting degree alone without professional qualifications is not usually so helpful; however, I included it because I expect the accounting graduate to do the needful of writing professional examinations after his degree. Even without professional qualifications, you can still get a decent job with Accounting degree only in the many small to medium scale firms that require the services of accounting graduates. Finance is another great course. The three courses, sometimes alongside Management and Business Administration, are usually in hot demand, although supply still exceed demand and many graduates of these courses are still jobless.

5. Computer Science/Computer Engineering/IT courses: IT professionals are in hot demand the world over. Nigeria is not different. With special IT skills, your chance is even brighter. The downside is, anybody can learn IT skills, even if he doesn’t study computer engineering.

4. Geology: It is also a course that places you in good position to penetrate the much-sought-after oil industry.

3. Chemical/Petroleum Engineering: These courses have the potential to fetch you the fattest pay check after graduation because the companies that ask for them are those that pay heavily – the oil companies.

2. Estate Management/Architecture/Building/Survey/Civil Engineering: A degree in any of these courses places you in a good position for self-employment. Even from school, Architecture students make money drawing plans for people. We consider these courses the second most marketable courses in Nigeria.



1. Medicine: Medicine may not earn you N500k per month at entry level, but it is the course that guarantees you job the most. I have never come across a jobless medical doctor. The pay may not be as heavy as the Chemical engineering guy in the IOC, but you are guaranteed of better-than-average income as a doctor. Medicine is number 1 on our list.

Op Wat about international relations
Job opportunities that a degree in International
Relations will offer you
Politics and Government This degree will be
helpful for all those who wish to pursue their
career in government sector. A degree in
international relations will help you in working as
a policy analyst for any government agency or
public office. You can also work as a legislative
aide. At national level, you can take into
consideration foreign services career. This will
involve you working with top and esteemed
government organizations of your country. If you
have knowledge about other countries, their
culture, language, and so on, you can also
consider the option of joining intelligence,
security or diplomacy department.
Business and Law If you are not interested in
getting into the government department, you can
use your Degree in International Relations to
make a mark for yourself in the field of law and
business. With the advent of internet, small
merchants too have been able to create space
for themselves in the global market thus
increasing the number of job opportunities. You
can assist companies in import as well as export
restrictions, trade regulations, global
implementation of human resource policies and
so on. Apart from that if you specialize in
finance, you can opt for a career in large
investment firms or banks. Other options can be
transportation and manufacturing services.
Nonprofit A degree in International Relations also
helps you in working for the welfare of the
society. You can join nonprofit organizations that
operate on an international level. This will give
you the chance to shape your career in a local
office that has a global reach. It also increases
your chances of traveling to other countries.
Nonprofit agencies like CARE and Red Cross
provide such global service but there are many
other options too.
Language You can serve as a language
interpreter or translator if you have mastered
any of the global languages. Your growth
opportunities in this field will largely depend on
your language skills, proficiency in translating
and so on.……………the list given is based mostly on chances of employment.

become self employed by opening your own
pharmaceutic shop/shops and people must patronize it and so a pharmacist hardly become jobless. even pharmacists that couldn't source fund may find job opportunities offer from companies, hospitals and et al. you can scroll around

tell them, is just because Nigeria have not come to know the true value of chemists/chemical eng.s but let wait for development and economy sovereignty to hit the country and you will see "noble professions" dancing to the tune of production and salvaging.
