The gentleman that created this topic really needs to understand '' the wideness of the world ''. In the 21st century, the best way to stay in relevance is by meddling. After all, every man must choose his own path. It becomes very irrelevant these days, the course you studied in the university, when after all, the people in the know, especially in a developing nation like ours are barely educated. Like the Yoruba's always say, there are too many words inside a book you buy for a kobo. Not that education is not important anyway, but in reality, it is not what puts you in relevance all by itself. So, stop being a stereotype. |

REMMEI: Would have A-OK you if you had mentioned "in Nigeria universities".. who told you and what research have you carried out to make arrived at the conclusion that those courses are useless and waste of time?..you are thinking from a Nigerian perspective though..and i think this topic has been treated before..but always remember this.."No knowledge is waste"..you are partially wrong because you didn't back up your stand. Therefore i oppose your party in this thread |

Re: University Courses That Are Waste Of Time by ochallo: 1:43pm On Jan 12, 2013 |
There is no course that is a waste, it depends on your passion and your creativity, the problem with us in Nigeria is that when we graduate we all start looking for jobs, without finding your calling, the concept of making a living at times blinds us. And for the poster, computer science is one of the biggest courses in the united states at present, if you do it well and get the right knowledge you would be indispensable. Botany has the ability to make you a millionaire in dollars, if you have a passion and can go into research. There are a lot of undiscovered herbs lying around in Nigeria and indeed africa, yet untapped. 1 Like |

Clemzy16: Like it or not, the OP has a point. I share the same sentiment with him. What is the essence of me going to school to study theatre art where 99.9% of actors in Nigeria do not have formal knowledge about acting?! Acting is a talent not what you can learn. That's like someone studying fine-art when he/she cannot draw naturally. That to me is a colossal waste of precious time. A layman's definition of theatre arts. Pls swEet b4 U post abt anytn, ask qstnss b4 u show ur stupidity 2 d world! Hu told u theatre arts s all abt acting? Pls ask qustns wen u nt sure of wat u saying. |

You people can abuse the poster like it or not he is saying the truth what relevance are those courses to nigeria computer science is good if you have the money to do the professional courses at the end aside that there are many people who have read it without nothing to show for it and for someone that read fine arts and wants to work in the bank well think again cause they are presently passing a bill in the senate very soon CBN won't regulate the banks it will be the chartered institue of bankers |

Re: University Courses That Are Waste Of Time by Afam4eva(m): 2:15pm On Jan 12, 2013 |
From some response on this thread, one can see why there's mass failure in JAMB and WAEC. If you read the OP's post word for word, you'll notice that: 1) He's referring to Nigeria 2) He's not saying that these courses are not good 3) He's just saying that going to our universities to study these courses is redundant because even people who did not study the course are into that particular field. Tell me how many Actors studies theater arts in school or how many computer programmers actually studied computer science. The truth is that just about anybody can delve into these fields without going through the four walls of a university. But for courses like Medicine, Chemical Engineering, it's different. 2 Likes |
