What You Must Consider Before You Choose A Course To Study by highfaculty(m): 9:12pm On Sep 13, 2019
HOW TO CHOOSE A COURSE THAT FITS YOU

You may have been thinking of how to choose a course that fits you or factors to consider when choosing a course of study, and in this article, we will try to explain how to make that choice.

However, this is a very complex question that if not properly answered could mar your career choice.

For some, choosing a university course is easy, because they have known for years what they want to be when they grow up.

Though, there are also some challenges explained in how to choose a course to study. 

Below are some tips that can help you narrow down your choices, to be able to come up with a course that best suits your education level and career goals.

Factors To Consider When Choosing A Course To Study

1. Course Content

Before selecting a course of your choice, research about the content in the course modules. The modules go into details about what the course entails.

2. Graduate Employment Rate

It is vital that you take a marketable course. There is nothing as frustrating as having to study for many years only to be an unemployed graduate statistic.

3.Your Interests

Choose a course based on what interests you; it will help you do well in your course and enjoy your career in the future. Many people go back to school, or change courses after semesters of study, simply because, the course is boring to them.

4.Your Aptitude

Choosing a college major also entails an assessment of your skills and talents.  You may know what you want, but do you know what you’re good at? Ideally, you should pursue a college course or choose a college major that allows you to explore both your interests and skills.



5. Your Commitment

Choosing a university course requires you to look inwards and assess your commitment to your chosen path.  Assuming that you have the issue of money and other practical considerations settled, do you actually possess the skills and the patience to go the distance?  Moreover, do you actually want to do?

6. Time

Courses are not the same, henceforth duration also differs in some instances. If you are willing to invest time in that course, then you can go for it.

7. Feedback

It is important to ask experienced person questions about university study. Some people prefer to go for career counselling, to be able to weigh their options well.

8. Your Academic Performance

There are some courses like engineering that requires a potential student to be good in certain subjects like mathematics and sciences. So before you get excited about the course, asses yourself to see if you can be able to perform well.

9. Finance

If you are self-sponsored, consider a course that will not have a financial burden on you. You do not want to be in a position where you cannot continue because of financial constraints.

10. Your Values

Do not choose a course that will force you to sell your soul. If you have a strong will against politics or religion, steer away from courses that will make you go beyond what you stand for.

When you eventually choose the right course, source study materials from Q and A App. You can earn some revenue and also help others by uploading study materials to the App.

Get Q and A App from Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tolu.qanda

Okay...


The afore-listed factors are the without doubt,part of the most important factors for course determination.Anyone who is aspiring to study any course is commended(or rather advised) to consider them.

But,in my humble opinion,the third factor should be placed above all.I would rather spend years seeking for admission to study my dream course than to dive into the school to study a course which I will never build my career on.

No.2 does not matter much because I have seen lawyers working with shevron and shells.

Check the employment rate of that course, study what interest you in case you don't land a good job on time.

Students in sciences should consider courses like pharmacy, medicine, nursing strongly if the interest is there.

My personal opinion and advice.

Also, your personality.

If you don't like people and you're an introvert, don't choose courses that will get you to interact or deal with people.

For instance, don't choose law, medicine, public health, mass communication etc. Go for accounting, statistics or computer science.

Wish I knew this stuff ten years ago.
