I just got admitted to study PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES at adekunle ajasin university,akungba. I have googled it but all I saw was, being a lecturer...and I aint good at lecturing and besides, I never wanted to be a lecturer. Pls where and what can I work as,as a philosopher.....thanks
. My Big Thanks to the Mods and all that have taken their precious time to advise me...
..You have saved me.
I shall not forget NAIRALAND.

if you're in Nigeria don't bother your self bro

what you study do not determine where you work here, if and only if you have a "connection" you're f**king gud to go bro

Dearie....Mind working in a Buka? Thank me later!!!

You'll be a philosopher soon, by then you woulda figured it out..Don't be in a haste bro. Besides, you're not even sure of when you'll graduate yet. Take a chill pill bro.

Thanks very much for your concerns.... I really appreciate you all, you all made good points.to my able bros that asked me to work as a BUKANISt, I thank you very much.....pls more advice is welcomed

hmmm

adamic: U dont have to disturb urself palz, what u study doesnt mean any thing abt the way to work at all... Infact, philosophy is a good course but nt easily to make first class and u can work in any research company or organisation because of the knwledge and xperience abt the course

Thank you very much...I really appreciate your comment...............

Apart from Being a Lecturer.... Careers in central & Local government, the legal profession, training, recruitment and human resources, advertising, marketing, councelling and journalism are also possible careers under philosophy.

Guys its better u don't take such a stupid course
All dose saying it dosent mean.my guy it means ooo..cos u re gonna find it real hard to ..anyway do wah ur mind chooses

Thanks very much................
I have this silly question in me lol...... Can a philosopher work in companies like shell,nnpc and the likes?........

yes. a philosopher can work in shell,nnpc company but in research department....... believe me.... philosophy is nt an easy course to come out with first class

adamic: yes. a philosopher can work in shell,nnpc company but in research department....... believe me.... philosophy is nt an easy course to come out with first class

Thanks so much... I keep thinking whether I should do a cross over to another department,perhaps HISTORY n INTERNATIONAL STUDIES...but I don't think this could be allowed as my name has been registered with philosophy on jamb Site.....
.........Shell and the likes pay heavily for their workers..do you think a person in the research department in shell could also earn a good pay?.....it might sound stupid, but this what's bothering my mind....

It seems all you want is a job at Shell. The typical Nigerian mentality. How many philosophers will Shell employ?

Lol... Not that I love to work at shell or nnpc..but I want to know if I could get employed as a philosopher into any organization with a good pay,or I do a change of department into History and international studies.perhaps, I could earn a good salary...
Pls advice me.

@OP:I will advice u accept the course."Then,take next jamb and move to your DESIRED COURSE".Guess u wanna be a lawyer.Forget that ill advice of doing ANY course in Nigeria and working anyway.It's lame.Can an Agriculturist perform the work of a Surgeon..??No..!
What you study goes a long way in determining your future..Above all,when u're studying what u so much luv,it becomes a joy to you.Reading your books becomes easier cos d passion is always there..It also gives you an extra edge when looking for jobs in the labour market..
Finally,your course of study also play a major role when applying for scholarships. Virtually all undergraduates will love to win this..The more u win,the more financially stabe u become as a student...
Best of luck.See you at d top..!

Thanks bro...I aint willing to be a lawyer...I put in for pol sci. But offered Philosophy..I love Philosophy as a course, but Pol sci. Has upper hand in job securing than Philosophy and get good pay.(my thought)......

Nigeria should be the best country for that with the rate of crooks, retards and idiiots over there.

Nigeria don suffer. Imagine someone going to study a course in the uni without even understanding the course.

lecturers earn good money now o!

Most recruiters in Nigeria request for "a degree in any discipline". So you're safe. Just make sure your FACE-your-BOOK and graduate with a good grade. Congrats!

@OP when you graduate, you will become Aristotle. You will get to the root of the evil spirits troubling the country called Nigeria. Please, do quick and graduate, you will be one of the delegates at the National Conference. Good luck!
