A course I believe is selling and will continue to sell is Transport Planning Απϑ Management Or Transport Απϑ Logistics. No Course Is bad on its own, Its aℓℓ about Nigerian Factor. God help Us aℓℓ.

Hahaha! How do you know I've been unlucky in life do you have telepathic powers? Or is this the kind of wild guesses you make while working as an IT consultant?

I know people can work in a different field from what they studied but it is rare. I'm tired of hearing the same old " a guy with a Yoruba degree working in an oil company " crap. It is rare, it is more likely not to happen than happen.

If it were that easy, most of my school mates who studies courses like zoology, botany etc would all be employed.

If you are to advise your kid, advise him/her to do courses that increases ones employability not hanging on to some wild fat fetched dream.

Ask the women what exactly they did before getting the job, you just might be missing a piece of the puzzle.

I've just given you 3 examples of people working high powered jobs despite their degrees...

I'm an example myself....though I studied computer science at degree level, I found myself working @ higher level than I normally should( I'm only 25)

There are so many people out there with similar stories...Art history Majors working as IT project mangers, School cert holders heading Transformation projects, so it's not as rare as you say it is.

A degree means nothing....in the larger scheme of life.

All it takes is determination to succeed and a bit of luck, and you'll be shocked where u find yourself

austinemar: doin justis to dis topic i must coment. Anthropology(study of insect)for sure will not sell in dis country, fact! Pls i need more examples coz we wil be helpin someone out there

A point to note: Entomology is the study of insects, not Anthropology which is the study of human origin (history) and future...


Please, don't mix them up.

Dont try to read Library Science Education in Delsu

Sholexmusics: Who's callin who Pls dnt deceive urself. I'm a studied music, nd Its workin 4 me.

blood of †̥ђe̶̲̥̅ lamb!...

Funny people...no course is not important...what u read in d university does not determine or have a connection to one's success in life!

Nice course! I thought you would go study some crazy thing and expect to be as lucky as your relatives.

Am I mad ?

what do you guys think of marine engineering

ItsModella: Philosophy
History
Fishery
Zoology (how someone could go ahead to get a PhD in this field is beyond me)
Forestry

It's certainly beyond you because you are either primodial or uninformed.

That you don't know the value of a course of study or discipline shouldn't mean you must denigrate people who commit to them.


Go get a thorough education dude/gal, it pays.

Criminology

Let's, especially engineering graduates, stop all these perceived rubbishing of History, Zoology, Classics, Achaeology, Philosophy, etc. Engineering companies see some engineering graduates as being half-baked, and as such engage them and even those from the humanities in training. For me, this is a leveler.

Soil science is a very good course it marketable in any part of d world

[s]Mechanical Engineering - Trust me, as a Graduate Mechanical Engineer, you'll be a potential candidate for engineering job roles such as Marine, Subsea, Materials, Aerospace, Process, Chemical/Petrochemical, Eng. Design, Mechatronics, Oil & Gas, Piping/Structural, et al. It fits into nearly all spheres of engineering.

Sometimes, I do wish I studied Mech. Eng.[/s]

Oops! The thread says NOT...#my bad. Dunno whacky courses though

Phonon: If you have solid analytical abilities and you have love for science,study PHYSICS.If you are looking for a job after graduation,you would not be lacking.

1.FINANCE
Physics graduates are highly sought for their analytical abilities and they are employed as "quants" in Investment Banks.A field known as "econophysics" which uses the principles of theoretical physics such as fractals, in financial modelling,analysis etc.

2.OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
Physics graduates are employed as instrumentation engineers,geophysicists,petrophysicists and field engineers.An Msc in Exploration Geophysics would boost your chances.

3.TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Physics graduates are employed as Microwave Engineers,Solution Architects etc Many principles of physics ranging from waves,electronics,optoelectronics,ionospheric physics are critical in this industry.Companies in Nigeria in this sector include Ericsson,Aviat Networks,Alcatel-Lucent,Nokia-Siemens,Huawei.The operators have outsourced most of their technical roles.

4.HEALTHCARE
Graduates of physics are employed as radiologists and medical physicists.The MRI machine, the X-ray machine etc were invented by physicists.A masters in Medical Physics would do the trick.A career as a Biomedical Engineer is also in the offing where you could be involved in the design of artificial organs,prosthetics and other devices.(JUST GO ABROAD AND NEVER COME BACK FOR THIS OPTION.YOU WILL STARVE IF YOU TRY IT HERE)

@ †̥ђe̶̲̥̅ bold part, I think Ȋ̝̊̅†̥'s those who studied acturial science(actuarist) who perform that function i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ nigeria..

U can imagine the public disgrace u just gave your self by coming out in public to say that anthropology is the study of insects, what a shame, na wa for u. If I were to be you now I will just go and hang my self. And I no that its people like you that was commenting uslesly when that ncsdc commander made that mistake by saying "my oga at the top"

HISTORY is the mother of all discipline,anybody that mention it up there is a dumbass.

There is no future in any profession/course,the future depends on an individual who holds the profession.

What are you saying bro! You studied computer science and you are saying it like its some mediocre course. i studied computer science as well, I graduated last year.

Computer science is vast, with opportunities everywhere. We live in a computer age so computer scientists would find it increasingly easy. During my final year IBM came to my university looking to employ as many as possible, I passed on the opportunity because Im going on to do my masters this summer.

I understand its not all about degrees, our president GEJ is a quintessential case, he studied something as crazy as zoology but yet he is a president.

All I'm saying is, I'd prefer not to take that chance.

BANANoLOgy ONE OF THE BEST courses so far....from the school of Banana island...you can consult Yuzedo for further clarifications!!

Any body dat studied Estate management u are on ur own because agents no go allow u see road.

As a computer science graduate, I would advice any science oriented person to either study computer science or computer engineering cos they are relevant in the labour market and you can easily start up your own company if job opportunities are not forth coming.

Study whatever course you like BUT most important thing is that you come out with a superb grade and not forgetting placing God 1st as he is the one that crowns our effort.
Someone with a 1st class in Zoology sure has an higher chance of success in the Labor Market compared to one with a Pass in Biz Admin.

Soil scient is a very good course cos it has very high market value can mostly work oil companies infact dey are hot cake

rash47: HISTORY is the mother of all discipline,anybody that mention it up there is a dumbass.

My younger sister is complaining everyday, she said the course is too wide. Infact she is getting thinner by the day.

I will advice someone 2 study crop production. And landscape management! If not satisfied with this e can go and study computer science because the future of this nation depends on infotech and agric once oil finish

hotbabe001: Any body dat studied Estate management u are on ur own because agents no go allow u see road.

I cannot help but laugh.

dearestsewa: @Phonon, infact u spoke my mind. Hw can u study archeology or classics or sm obsolete courses &xpect a job wen u wl b competing wt informatn tech, law, finance mgt tech grads? My advice, google d jobs in demand by 2030, choose d one u lyk and study ahead of it. I also did dat research few days ago.

Its only in nigeria archeology has no value...it is good for theological studies

In the field of Agriculture Fisheries is the only course you can study and get employed while in the university.

carr96: ...well, anything can happen

I knw someone who studied geology and he presently works with zenith bank and another who studied applied biology but works as a customs officer




CONNECTIONS .....jst "Know" people

so what's your point?? . . You're basically saying Geologists have no place In this country Unless they know people?? Either you friends came out with terrible grades or didn't Look well enough!!

How ignorant can Nigerians Get??
Just go to Jobberman,click on oil and Gas ,and feed your eyes on how Geologists are In high demand,wtf!!!

Infact most of the courses some apparently stu.pid ppl are mentioning here actualy are applicable even in Nigeria,and you don't really need to know anyone before you work in your field

Our very great problem in this country is just ignorance and Inexposure,simply put!!

This is a classic common ground moment.
