When would Nigerians learn that its not a function of what u study, its who u know, what u have upstairs and God...u can study anything and get away with it.

Op, u missed banking and finance.

Op,
I don't know how to make this post without appearing rude and disrespectful, so you will have to forgive me in advance.

Once again, you post demonstrates in very clear terms that you, and infact, we Africans do not fully grasp the meaning and value of education.

I don't blame you personally too much. I blame our succession of brain dead and visionless leadership Since independence, who still haven't figured out that education is not about paper certificate to get job.
It is more about mental developement and refinement in order to release and harness the imaginative and infinite creative potential of the mind.
Every area of study is useful both to the learner and to the greater society. What would humanity be without all these academic disciplines?

The fact that we put all emphasis on paper certificates rather than real learning and hunger to learn more, is at the heart of our persistent underdevelopment.

The fact that we don't have trained archeologists and anthropologists in Nigerian to dig into our remote pasts are the reasons that many morons walk around calling themselves Israelites.

The fact that we don't have ancient historians and forensic geneticists, etc, is the reason that con men in bling bling attires sell us the crap that we are the ofsprings of a mythical white man called Noah who lived less than 6yrs ago, whereas, Yoruba culture, just to mention one, is more than 11,000 yrs old.

The fact that we don't have enough mental health scientists and sociologists is the reason we have a reported 23 million Nigerians suffering from undiagnosed and untreated various forms of mental illnesses.
The funny but sad irony of this situation is that many of these mentally ill citizens occupy positions of power and influence in our society.

So, it's not going to get better soon.

Others micro biology, Economic, mkting, engineering, physics and all dat. Y r u discouring people? This channel that you are using to publish this, is it not under mass communication? If I finish and create smth like this or better than urs, am I not doing smth? Wot of Newspapers that are springing up frm all part of the country? Not all pharmacist or chemist sellers studies medicine. The course has prospects and employment opportunities, what is happening in other sector is happening in mass comm. People want to die in office, be it Law, politics, engineers, oil and gas etc. Its only in banks dat every now and den there is employment opportunities, why? Bc banking job has no job security! Plz also take out French!!!

I really can't say you are correct, but I think there are even some other courses I won't advise anyone to try. E.g Nursery and Primary Education, Adult education and their likes.

who allowed this op here - is he well

Political science, local government study, marketing, e.t.c

Food Science is cool

Op when u started this topic I thought u had something in ur brains

@OP

You missed it on Sociology. I studied sociology from a reliable Nigerian University. I have realized that there are different areas where you can function as a sociologist and that is the selling point of this noble discipline. Check these fields out; Development organisations like USAID, JDPC, ActionAIDS; Research based agencies, Security Agencies and many more. The selling point of this course is a capable sociologist will fit into any human centered organisations. Wherever you have people, you will always have sociologist.

Woe unto that society who has no sociology, blessed is that society who has at least five sociologists. IBN KALDUN

U r not realistic

Mass comm, humanities, photography arts Dude u high on one of dose fake road side cracks?

Now I get.d mods don't necessary need 2 move a very very good article on front page.sometimes,dey just need 2 look 4 a silly thread dat will make lots of nairalanders comment/argue/bash it thereby causing traffic.

You are just ignorant.

Although the op has a right to give his opinion but I must say it (the opinion) lacks substance. To even list 'humanities' as a course shows that he (the op) compiled what my lecturer would call "academically leprous". Go and do your research before posting a jaundized view!

Public Administration is the best course to study in Nigeria..

With so much diversification*

Davidairmarshal:
what is it

U got it wrong Geography is out of it..u can work in d oil company,airport,road construction company,town planing office and water board etc
