Prior to getting admitted to Tertiary institutions, we learned about differnt courses ranging from pure sciences to social sciences and arts and during that period we fall in love with some of the courses taught or have excellent grades which sometimes determine the program we are going to study at the higher level.

Tertiary institutions is sometimes a place where people choose to study what they want, some are based on the courses they loved when in high school/secondary school, some based on what their parents tells them to study, some look at the courses with which they think the monetary aspect afterwards will be beyond their imaginations, some take what they were given upon admission that is courses they originally did not want to study (very common in the Nigerian educational system), everyone have different reasons towards what they want they study without much thinking and insight of what they really want to do or become in the future because we all think we will be successful in whatever we do. Yea, well, that’s true and we definitely have to be positive and optimistic about our future but is that all there is to it.

Dont get me wrong though, it turns out great for some and some others get stuck along the way and realise that they are not meant to be where they were and then redirect themselves....

Another thing is the University is not meant for everyone, there are others who are good with the technical stuff (technical schools), some are good with taking care of people and want to be nurses (nursing schools) and the likes of it. Just like this true story; A mother was worried about one of her kids who wasn't doing well in his secondary school but managed to graduate, his results wasn’t good enough to get admitted into the univerisity. Most of the universities rejected him and his other siblings are really doing very well in their various universities which gave the mum a cause to worry. She was eventually advised to take her son to a technical school because he loves to work with computers. Well, he finally got admitted into one and Lo, he became the best student in his class and also got offers to intern with some very good IT companies and IT departments in some non-tech companies.

You just need to figure out what you can do best and what suits you, Some people are very good with practicals and slow when it comes to the theoretical aspect. You know yourself, you know what you can do and what you are best at, why not work on your strong points and fall under the category that suits you rather than sitting back at home and blaming the university for not giving you admission....
