I am happy that after extensive research and having talked to a Prof over several months,I pursued my dream program, counselling psychology. Started earning from the course while in the second year as our lecturers did motivate us to be creative with what we were being taught and apply it into earning our tuition fees while still in school. 8 Likes |

Ishiewo: Don't be discouraged. I studied Economics Education and most of my colleagues that studied pure Economics under social science are well employed. Some are working as full staff bankers. The only savior you will have studying Economics is to graduate with a minimum of second class upper division (non negotiable) and also graduate and finish youth service at most 24 years old. These two factors (class of degree and age) play a great role in your ability to find job after graduating with Economics degree. Other factors involve knowing people and having the ability (finance) to buy job slot. Before you ask, I am self employed and earn x3 or more of what my friend that works with First Bank earns monthly. 4 Likes |

Even though I agreed with you in courses selection,It is Nigeria as a country that makes your point real, Quality control job is meant for Biochemistry and microbiology . Every course has area of specialization but low number of industries and inadequate information makes things hard for people. Even Medical doctors are receiving penny as salary now, accounting ;if you are not chartered nothing for you, don't even go to law; charge and bail gang and so on, in short Nigeria is hell fire on earth. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Biden911: If everyone had a connection. If everyone could make the good grades then life might be easier. But the truth is, not everyone will be able to buy a job. Not everyone will make good grades. Not everyone will be connected. In fact, if everyone has connection the whole essence of connection will be defeated, same as good grades. But everyone can have a skill. 7 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=Ishiewo post=95850048]Abeg, is Economics marketable in Nigeria? All management course are marketable,you just need to improve on the IT aspect of it,as an economist now you have the opportunity to learn financial analysis and modelling,data analytics and also be good at econometrics. |

Karleb: You know what...? I am not here to correct your pessimistic and defeatist views because doing that with you will go on and on and nothing will be achieved at the end of the day. Truth is that whatever you believe in is what works for you. If you believe that you cannot raise capital to start your own business, fine. If you think you can, fine. Whatever you choose to do with your life is fine with me. Mind you, even those that read the so called hot cake courses are also struggling to find a place in the job market so as you can see, studying a particular course to get a certificate to improve your employability is not even a guarantee in our world today. There are many ways to raise a capital to start your business. If your brain is so soft that you cannot even think of at least one way of raising capital for your own business, then I advise you to start thinking now because thinking is supposed to be one of the skills you should have developed while in school. Lest I forget, the only reason why I pointed out the option of agriculture is simply because I am of the opinion that instead of focusing on just one way of earning the bread, one can actually diversify. If you believe that your certificate is the ONLY way to guarantee you earning some bread in life, then that's your own cup of tea. 11 Likes |
