I tell you. The entertainment industry in Nigeria is huge! Nollywood has to be amongst the highest employers of labour in Naija.

peleson: Don't study elect elect in unilag, mowete , mohammed n Co will make u hate u were very smart and brilliant

Richy.:
Hausa,Igbo or Yoruba unless you want to be a local news caster. then it is cool. you can always do Masters degree in Hausa

ola_pluto: This kind of thread exposes our backwardness as a nation/people. All courses are important, as they all target different aspects of our existence. It is unfortunate that Science (and engineering) is almost dead in Nigeria. I see no reason why a graduate of Yoruba language should work in a bank. Yoruba, for example, is a markettable language. There are over a billion journals in science, none yet translated to Yoruba.
The only problem is the way our educational system has remained stagnant. If we were a dynamic people, we will have many diverse specialised areas of study which will be absolutely important to our existence.

jackbauerspower: It's soo funny tho...

I have 2 cousins(sisters) that studied stupid courses but did well

One studied Fishery and ended up as a Branch Manager with Former Global Bank till she moved to England with her husband

The other other studied Christian Religious Knowledge to masters level and is now an operations manager for Chevron in Angola

OP na only God know your star... SHEBI na PHD holder dey drive tipper for Dangote

mkmyers45: geology? U m@d bro?

LMMAAOO ! This is so true

I can relate with this

You can relate to this? Did you or a relative study soil science and miraculously find yourselves working in a bank as a director?

stan 241: the dude that mentioned English language in this thread urgently needs medical attention

50calibre:

All courses are important some place else but in not in Nigeria. In Nigeria, most courses are useless. Science and technology isn't dead in Nigeria, rather Yoruba or other linguistics are dead in Nigeria.

You see a Yoruba graduate working in a bank, not because there are no qualified people to fill that position, but because of corruption.

LMMAAOO ! This is so true

I can relate with this

adaobi123:

No

I have family members who did the same thing. They studied weird courses and now they are managers of banks

jackbauerspower:

Swear down....

Most till attendants at Tesco/sainsbo/asda et al have got degrees

Even the dude in the club toilet doing 'Fresh up Bruv' work has a masters

Degrees don't define our careers...We chart our own paths!

Malubi: Archeology and or History.

javadoctor: Don't study architecture in Nigeria,2reasons
1.CAD.Computer aided design applications has leverage the production of building and electrical drawings done on paper. Therefore people (mostly non architects) can draw their own design diagrams without consulting an architect. Also people can download building plans online for free. This is the result of a vast growing ICT world where Information technology is making people unemployed.

2. Secondly,architecture can't be fully exploited as a course in Nigeria,in developed countries,architects are known for design,architects draw building plans as well as Cars,machine parts,robots etc.architects are useful in a very developed economy

oche_ejemb:

Thats where you are wrong mate.

To work in a bank doesnt require a degree in Banking and Finance or whatever, it requires a university degree. Honestly, what you studied for your undergraduate degree (a decison you made when you were on average 16-17 years old) should not and can not dictate how you live for the rest of your life.

What you did for 4 years of your degree, you will forget in 1 year of work. That is why work experience superceedes any fancy degrees at anytime.

Useful hints!

- Except your father is wealthy, don't do medicine.
- Except you are willing to spend 6-7 years + a further 2 or 3 years due to strike, don't do medicine
- Except you are willing to work for a private hospital that would pay you peanuts, don't do medicine
- Except you are going to leave Nigeria to some other countries when you graduate, don't do medicine.

But if you insist, then the simple thing is STUDY HARD.
