Jarus: Well, it seems getting into the financial sector for graduates of non-financial courses is easier than the other way round. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

My kid bro wanted to study medicine but ended up finding himself in biochemistry. And to be honest with you, I don't want him to study BCM cause is not really marketable in Nigeria. I prefer Engineering. I have been persuading him to do change of course to Engineering. I guess I will leave him to finish with BCM and switch to Engineering for masters. |

Oga Jarus, doing it usually as always. Good one there. Undergraduates keep disturbing themselves for things not really worth the stress. In Nigerian economy, one can be almost anything very far from what he/she studied as first degree. Even a man who studied Zoology which by status quo should be in the zoo officiating lions, elephants and the likes is the one on the highest throne of Nigeria today. To me, even if i didnt get admission on a high profile course, i would've been more concerned about my graduating grade than the course of study considering the context of Nigeria. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I don't get why everybody seem to be ending up in the banking sector in spite their course of study? 1 Like |

Fkhalifa:simple, because you don't really need a first class/2-1 grade to qualify. Another thing is, most banks pay well. |

freshdude: Have you asked yourself if engineering is really marketable in Nigeria? Well, not all Engineers attended a University education, with Civil, Petroleum and Chemical Engineering being an exception. By the way, he wanted Medicine and ended up in BCM and you want him to switch to Engineering which is entirely different from Medicine and BCM. Can he cope? Hmm 5 Likes |

I'm curious how marketable is mechanical engineering |
Re: Does Undergraduate Course Of Study Really Matter? by Afam4eva(m): 10:42am On Nov 07, 2014 |
A secondary school education is to people to different disciplines and it is assumed that after secondary school, people should have made up their mind on what field they want to make a career. By field i mean IT, Medicine etc. They mustn't have made up their mind whether they want to become programmers in specific. They should just have a background knowledge of the IT industry and then after their BSC they can now specialize in either streamlining their career path by doing a masters program or doing professional courses. But i think the situation in Nigeria is somewhat peculiar. It's an aberration for someone to just accept any course of study just because they want to gain admission. These are the people who go to school to study botany and find themselves working in a bank, not taking care of the plants in front of the bank but working at the counter. It is not only an aberration but also responsible for the standstill situation of most sectors in Nigeria. 1 Like |
