baby124:they can get work anywhere. People should just stop going to school to acquire certificates and use them to get jobs. They should learn to survive without thinking of their ecadamic qualifications. If he had acquired a skillvsince he came out from school he would have been a master by now. 1 Like |

peterebere111:that's the essence of going to school. To discover your abilities and not go about asking people to take u. I studied the same course together with psychology but right from time I have never wished to work for someone. I don't think I will be needing my cert. All one needs is to apply what one has learnt in school to real life and move on. Good evening. 1 Like |

Ayo25: Thank you sir. It's sad that many in our country don't know the unusual egregious importance of philosophy. That's why this country is as intellectually backward as it is. Philosophers are actually highly sought for in the media, administration, marketing and basically Law by those who know what it entails. I am disappointed a philosophy graduate (a 2:1 graduate for that matter) will be asking a question like this? After all those years studying ALL branches of knowledge with the tool of LOGIC? You should know what to do na. If many Nigerians are so ignorant about our discipline, why can't we educate them via our uncommon wherewithal and dexterity in all fields. Philosophers, as Plato said, are actually Kings. |

pweetyoge:Leave them jare.... Let them keep on berating us at their own peril. It's really sad that most of us who studied philosophy end up with regrets. But one thing I know is that after four years studying philosophy, one can never remain the same ever again because one should be able to see the world from the perspective of the FORMS. 1 Like |

Adebowale89:thank your very much. Philosophy does teach people to wait for solutions, it tell s to to seek for answers to your philosophical questions just like the question op has asked. In my next life I will still study philosophy again. I'm still serving but I know within me that I didn't spend 4years studying philosophy just to come out and begin to carry file up and down. |

IJOBA2:you are not sure. It was hard doing the two but it's possible. We were only five in my set who combined Phil/Psy. one guy and 4girls and one of our lecturers would always tell we the girls that he could never advice anyone to marry any of us cos of our combination. There are other combinations such as psy/Soc psy/Rel, pol/Phil, eco/Phil and so on. |

Its not about your course. The story is same for all courses in Nigeria today. Just try and equip yourself with a relevant skill and you will be grateful. I wish you best of luck. |

BaEnki:You said "wht settle for the less" consider the age factor in this present age Nigeria. The productive age according to recruiters starts from 26yrs. So shouldn't you factor in the fact that if you waste too much of your time rejecting those course, it may affect your chances of making NYSC and with the much emphasis been placed on discharge certificate rather than the exemption letter, your employabilty could also be affected. |

I studied philosophy in LASU and UNILAG. BA and MA level. I worked in a .media house, newspaper reporter for years before I resigned to start my own printing and publishing business. We are not doing too bad. Start with what you have. Even specialised courses are gloated today. Nigeria is in big fix as per job creation. Start something. no matter how small and very soon you would fly 1 Like |

BaEnki: Bros, you probably shouldnt have bothered saying anything after saying the emboldened. The truth is, over 60% of Nigerian graduates never ended uo studying their dream course. As a matter of fact, I am a typical example. I aimed for Medicine and Surgery, but ended up with Microbiology. Infact, folks in my department were popularly referred to as the "unfortunate Doctors". Listen Op, when life throws unpleasant stuffs at you, it behoves on you to make pleasant stuffs out of it. Most employers out there dont care about what you studied but what you can bring to the table, such as practical knowledge, skills, passion for whatever you do and a proven ability to learn and adapt to daunting situations (notice i didnt even mention experience. This is because some employers are willing to give you a try irrespective of how greenhorned you are). Your 2.1 grade even gives you a further advantage. A 2.1 grade and a certain age benchmark (26years or a little less) are usually the only criteria for acceptance into the Graduate Trainee scheme of The Big 4s (KPMG, PwC, Delloitte and Ernst and Young) and most other multinationals and banks. You could start from there, bro. Dont give in to despair and self-pity because of what you studied. Develop, invest and believe in yourself and you will be amazed how much you will achieve in a few years time. All the best 1 Like |
