SammyJac: A philosopher is a lover of wisdom. It's an interesting course that cuts across many disciplines. There is a branch of philosophy called 'EPISTEMOLOGY', this will broaden your horizon and prepare you as a critical thinker. You'll also learn METAPHYSICS, LOGIC, ETHICS AND FALLACIES. According to Socrates ''man know thyself''.
you claim what you don't know flat head...just answer the boy and stop typing all the topics in philosophy

gbokukueba: I see no reason why you should not do the course and it is too early to be asking this type of question when you have huge opportunity to learn and step chnage your future.
I will give you my personal experience, i was admitted into Political Science but because i didnt have Mathematics in O levels i wasnt registered so i had to choose between Guidance & Counselling or Psychology.
I choose Psychology and for the first year was trying to secure a move to History department because i felt i would do well there but thank God it didnt work out and today i have no regret studying Psychology infact am a better person because of the course i studied.
So my advise to you is go ahead and do the course and trust God to settle your future... by the way when did they merge Philosophy and Religious Studies in your school? It used to be seperate...
there is a message here!

I think its too early to get bothered just expose yourself to the course first there and there you will see where you can comfortably fit in. One of such areas is human resource, also as administrators,etc I am a graduate of philosophy from LASU. You have to be hungry to get knowledge. It will help you a lot.

Young man, don't stress ureself. I read philosophy myself and I never wasted a single year. Philosophers are trained administrators. From my youth service I was a corper liaison officer to the local govt I served. I won an award. I had worked in the marketing dept of a bank, worked as a correspondent in a national newspaper, headed the sales and marketing dept of a national telecomm carrier and then as corporate affairs manager to a group of companies and now am on my own. No one would employ your certificate but you first. Build your self confidence and you will discover that as a philosopher your sense of logical reasoning and analysis will usually out class your contemporaries and thatz all it takes to perform in any commercial or human resources responsibility. I had a colleague that worked in shell and she was paid like her engineers counterpart. She later resigned to run her public relations outfit. Complete ure programme. If you back that up with masters in public adminN or international relations or any european language then you will be sought after in the public service. Cheer.

Please do not let anyone sweet tongue you or cajole you into believing what you do have reasonable doubts about.....especially if you consider and realize that Being in Nigeria is perhaps the most important factor.

If being a lecturer or studying philosophy is not one of your goals in life please do not venture into it, today, the Nigerian educational system is cursed, bedeviled and haunted by lecturers and teachers who have no business teaching student, they are morally deficient, intellectually lacking and above all lack the discipline to be true to themselves.
Students are made to suffer strikes by rediculously selfish and greedy lecturers, who hide behind the guise of fighting for a better working condition.....

students are a pure reflection of their teachers from birth.

You have gained admissions and that is the first step in the right direction, I know there are opportunities to change courses while in school, please explore those opportunities and option, research a course you would want to switch to, find out the academic and financial requirements, be true to yourself on your abilities and if you love challenges like I do, please go for it.

The real aim of education in Nigeria has been construed as a shortcut to riches and not an avenue of gaining knowledge and skills necessary.

Bro, some are born with silver spoon, others golden spoon and for some the wooden spoon comes handy, but if you are like my family that started from the scratch with no spoon and have elevated to a better spoon, you had better help your future by making a wise decision on where you fit.

You might not be lucky to get that helper everyone is clamoring for, if that does not happen, you become stuck in life especially with the direction you should follow.

A degree in philosophy is a gateway to many things. It's up to the OP though.
Think this thru, before you regret in 4 years time ( my calculation could be out of sync, given ASUU's penchant for strikes).
Philosophy is not a bad course

Have you ever heard the saying "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush"? What if he rejects the admission and opts to take JAMB again as you advised, and then fails to get any admission next year, what should he do then? Why shouldn't he accept the admission he just got, start school, and try to change his course after first year, or take another JAMB afterwards? Are you high on something or just plain ignorant!

Its time folk stopped deceiving themselves that what one studies in school doesn't really matter,this mentality should be halted in Nigeria cos whatever one studies in university goes a long way in influencing his career,though in recent times employment in Nigeria has been on man know man nd not on merit. Then @op,passion is d real deal not what pay one gets, find passion on what u wanna do n trust me its gonna reward u handsomely, as a philosopher,I think they shud b some kinda orientation in ur first year in school,u pick d direction u wanna go. Legal,ad companies, research, politics nd d rest,if u think that's d only option,den study d course n be ready 2 have some post graduate classes in2 relevant field like engineering n accounting,be sure u r fit 2 handle this. Used 2 be a stdnt of philosopher but pulled out cos d passion wasn't there

ode oshi common olevel certificate u neva get

@op don't mind the fools deterring u from studying the course there is no course that is being offered in the university that is waste of time all courses are all lucrative

@op have you ever asked yourself why 92% of the universities in nigeria offer philosophy as a course? Or why are all the science students in the university offering logic? It is simply because philosophy is relevant to life what differentiate man from animal is ability to think, philosophers are the real man of the society they don't just talk any how they think before they talk.
