am an architect with a diffrence....thats d best course ever

Dammytrager:
Medicine and Law are overrated course in Nigeria, If an Engineer should blow in Nigeria No Doctor can stand him, so ah think Electrical Electronics Engineering should top the list

The OP is still referring to the Nigeria of before where MBBS was the trend. Today the prestige that comes with Medicine is no longer there.
I would choose Computer Engineering over Medicine any time any day.

Also, Law has lost its value too because it has been 'commonized' and 'commodised'...too many lawyers around.

datguru:
If you are a student and you think you've got BRAIN, try pure and industrial chemistry .




Pure and industrial chemistry should be NO 1 on that list, Nigerians and misplaced priority, SMH

Greatest Chemist!!!

what about biochem?

ISBLIAC:

anywhere

anywhere like where exactly, and what will you be doing in that "where"? Cooking?

KELVIN086:
from my own point of view elect/elect and law should not be on that list. (before someone tries to counter my opinion, note that i studied elect/elect, my father studied elect/elect, 3 of my uncles studied elect/elect so i know virtually almost every thing about this field, here in nigeria there are not much jobs for engineers, but if you have plans of travelling to work abroad after your studies then you can study any engineering course or if you have very strong connections that can get you into the oil and gas sector then go for engineering if not choose otherwise.)

This should be the top 5.

1) Medicine : After completion of ur mbbs employment is automatic and salary starts at around 160,000 for government hospitals and not less than 120,000 for private(you start your life quickly).

2) Pharmacy : Employment is automatic because they are few in number and they are widely needed in every community and work hand in hand with doctors . During the compulsory 1 year internship they earn well more than 120,000 not to talk of after graduation.

3) Med lab : the same conditions that apply to pharmacy and medicine apply also to this , just that they are less respected than their pharmacy and doctor friends.

4) computer science/engineering : this field is one of the widest fields ever they are needed in any organisation/office building making use of computers.
with further training you can work as an ethical hacker,network admin,network engineer,server admin , microsoft sql admin,it support staff , software developer e.t.c in fact they are needed in any organization that makes use of computers.
The only disadvantage of this course is the number of people studying it here in nigeria are just too much, the way cs is going right now i believe it would soon be converted to a college of its own.


theres no number 5, because i believe the remaining courses are not worth studying because of too much competition for very little jobs.
but if i were to pick a no 5 i would pick accounting because thier jobs are virtualy everywhere, look around your environment you would find banks, and small/medium co-operate businesses all these organisations need accountants.



look around you would hardly find an unemployed doctor or pharmacists. but you would find many unemployed engineers,lawyers accountants and all others.

employment in Med. Lab is damn so not automatic

#DOCTOR OF PHARMACY PHARM.D(UNIBEN). too much respect.

this write-up is biased. tho of course everyone k own that Medicine is no. 1. I think Law should be no.2. that aside, as regards the number of doctors exceeding patients that's not true even if it's just an exaggeration. come to school and see the number of allied medicals who couldn't get into medicine and you'd know that we can't have enough doctors. statistically the ratio of doctor:patient is quite low in Africa too. I'm happy to be a part of this prestigious profession...

Pls wot about OPTOMETRY.....z it advisable to switch from optometry to nursin?

Within few yrs,biochemistry(d pillar of life sciences) wi top all those disciplines because of the advent of biotechnology and passing into law of d biosafety bill by national house of assembly although only few people are away of this unfolding trend

BaseleSs.. no polls or statistics.. just one solo view.. ur opinion @op

Dentistry.. #200000

kennygee:
Law?

With the unemployed barristers clogging CAC offices looking for ways to make ends meet?

As prestigious as Law is, There are too many Lawyers being dolled out every year these days making the Labour market highly competitive.

Some lawyers attached to chambers earn between 30-80k per month.

Go to the banks, many of them are becoming Corporate Lawyers.

If the leaders of 2mrw are asked to signify, I'm very sure u would follow suit! Except d medical courses and notably Medicine, every course in Nigeria has this problem. Policies to regulate d number of lawyers chunned out by our Unis. is stil being formulated. Just wait and relax... I'm sure in sm years' time u'll advice ur child to study law. I av no regret studying law whatsoever, 'everything in life isn't rili abt money.' Do u doubt that? Ask Dora Akunyili!

why u no reason civil engineering and tech.

u no complete am well na. construction and fabrication industry b mother of all joorrh!!

What about nautical science?

Not all wanted Medicine so put on your thinking cap, get down your high hosre and erase the mentality that allied medical students are such that couldn't get medicine in the first instance. So dumb a reasoning.

ah! the OP says 5 most "praised "courses many comments I read are referring to "
best" courses . if your course of study is on the list, it doesent mean its not among the best , it just means it is not praise....just thinking though.

Lawyers are getting hungry...They have an established name but money is no longer flowing well.....too much lawyers........but Apostle suleman said this is our year

Hungry at the beginning if you are not on your way by five post call two things are involved.

first , I never said all allied med students. so since u also agree that not all wanted medicine then you also have that dumb reasoning...

OGBENI WHERE MASS COMM CON DY

Nursing should top that list, they get job with ease though the government is really cheating them.

chairman, calm down oh!
What he said is 95% a truism. They had to change their course as a result of the high cutoff for mbbs. Those that didnt change were compensated with allied medicals.
Just a select few wanted the allied medicals from the outset.

kamilous:
d list is incomplete without FOOD SCIENCE....we go chop now
