@ OP

What we hear every time on this forum on this subject under discussion and others like it are " graduate courses and there employability chances " . Now , I want to know , is not time for us to start hearing people advocating " gaining sound knowledge in any course one choses and study , and creating employment afterward through knowledge acquired from the course of study " .

In a nutshell , what I am trying to say is that we should be more focused about the quality of knowledge we acquired from formal academic settings , because from my observation so far , I have come to the conclusion that they easiest and best way people glosses their ignorance is by acquiring some paper certificate that is not based on true quantified knowledge gained in the course of study , that coupled with mastery of the national lingua franca , you see them loitering around the streets and online seeking for almost non existing employment opportunities .

funny and you may be right to an extent but some courses aren't just meant for you to get employment, some help to build you as a person or impact skills on you of which you can later trade

I mean courses related to sports....
Most of the highest earners in the world today have one or two thing to do with sport.. From Exercise therapists to Sport psychologist, Military trainers, Health coaches, chiropractors, Mental Performance Specialists, physiotherapists, Active and Cardiac Rehabilitation experts, Work place evaluator- Ergonomics(Oil companies, big industries employ this people) and then finally Education: Graduate Studies, Research, Post-secondary Teaching....

Truth is the fitness industry (mental and physical health) is a growing one, everyone want to feel good about there bodies this days and you need someone to do the job of making people get exactly that.


Sometimes I wonder if people really know what they are talking about when they bad mouth this courses without taking any time or effort to look into what it entails..

of recent...about a couple of days ago..I basically made a write up of the best top 10 courses and hot cake in nigeria as at today..

but I have finally,come up with another write up of the top 10 worst degrees with lowest potential for employment in nigeria as at today

certainly,there is no degree that guarantees one job in & by itself however given the current economic situation and the fast pace of economic and technological shift in the continent and nigeria in particular there are degrees you would be better off not investing your time and resources to acquire as opportunities affected in those areas are increasingly getting eroded...if however you have a degree in any of them and finding it tough to make career headway it's time to put on your thinking cap
1 General Arts;
this cover anything from art history to painting/sculpture in the western world and developed countries having a degree in the arts could fetch one decent job opportunities several years ago..after the depression however with many european economic still sttuggling to recover it's becoming increasingly tough to find opportunities for majors in such areas like archeology,painting/fine art,history et cetera.

the opportunities for these sort of degrees are shrinking and people with the academic credentials thinking to get themselves a job in related field would have to do a cot of innovative and pro active thinking.
career counsellors advise those who want to study such things as art,dance,and music to have a specific strategy...sometimes a way out could be getting a higher degree(such as masters).

2 Humanities and liberal Arts;
if you love sitting and thinking about the intricacies of life and expounding on theories of existence or analysing political theories and events there may not be enough opportunities to do that in real life with your philosophy or political science degree to earn good money..
Humanities and liberal Art degree courses like Anthropology,political science,philosophy and many more do not give the graduates who passes them specific in road into the employement market..unlike professional courses like engineering,and the business field having a degree in any of the humanities may not really point one to a specific career direction.

3 Education;
unless you are willing to take higher degrees and pursue teaching opportunities at higher levels of the education ladder having an education degree is hardly going to get you the best jobs.
the only ways a graduate degree holder in education will do better is either to go for higher qualification and try to break into higher level teaching or do a career switch entirely and go for higher qualification in a different field that has more career prospects.

4 Religious studies;
Given the way churches and self styled pastors are springing up in every nook and cranny it should appear that splurging money on a religious studies degree will present the holder with bright prospects...however nothing can be further from the truth..except you are willing to plunge in and open your own church down the street,becoming a quran clutching preacher et cetera...there are hardly any existing opportunities for you to explore if you have a religiouss studies degree and wish to exploit opportunities there in.

5 Mass communication;
In considering mass communication we had a struggle with choosing a few other courses ahead of mass communication but at the end the argument was too much against mass communication degree.
the increasing introduction of media technology is eating away at the former strongholds of mass communication graduates..reporters and journalist find the rug being gradually pulled of their feet as bloggers and writers who hitherto knew nothing about mass communication.

take over the business of news discovering and sharing newspaper and television are no longer holding the baton in exclusive control of the media business...for mass comm.majors who wish to find and pursue the right career day need to understand the change in mass media and communication tools and acquire the right skills.
other worst course are;
6 botany
7 social studies
8 english literature
9 zoology
10 forest and wildlife management(wonderwhat you wana do with these,mayb you will use the certificate for cutting of woods in the forest)













nonsense, education is d bedrock of all studies.
Re: Top 10 Worst Degrees With Lowest Potential For Employment In Nigeria Today by achmed1(m): 7:59pm On Jan 02, 2015
I Believe the Most important thing for people who find themselves studying the above mentioned courses is to study hard and finish with strong grades, a 2.1 at least.

Then arm your self with the right information. ..you will go places.

I studied B.Ed Educational Management and today I work with one of the big4 audit firms at the expense of people who studied related courses.

Dont lose hope.. Focus and strive hard.
