Why dont you just go ahead and condemn the idea of education as a whole? It's a lot easier for a weak mind like u.

If you're of the opinion that any course isn't worth studying,
then you're moving in the wrong direction of mental development.

2buff: We all know those degrees in college/university that when someone you know says they are doing, you can't help but cringe inside because you just know they would likely regret it after they finish school because of it's grim employability prospects. Unless they eventually get sharp enough and divert to something else.

These degrees serve as nothing but a means for the university offering them to eat the money of their students and sell them false hopes detached from real-world needs.

One that comes to mind for me is "Womens Studies". For the obvious reason of, well come on, it's obvious cheesy

No degree is a waste in any where in the world.University Education is first of all to develop your mind and so you can be anything after your University Education.Who says all this so called useless degree did not have their own advantage.I studied Engineering and there are two of my friends that actually decided to go the teaching way after their study,one was my course mate with a degree in Elect Eng. and the other read Yoruba Edu.Eleven years after the Yoruba Edu guy is a professor,my other friend is still battling with his phd in Robotics up till now.Apart from that in my establishment, a lot of guys in Hr with degree in English,Arabic studies etc are the ones in charge of my welfare and packages etc.so no degree is useless

Anyone who calls the study of any body of knowledge is uninformed. It's just that in Nigeria, facilities are almost non existent to explore these so called useless courses to their maximum potentials.

The Chartered quantity Surveyors i know are over well to do,
what they do is Cost and value projects (mostly construction)
and usually check on cost and along side architects
make sure contractors stick to specification and standards.
Every commercial high rise,multi plex, or organised construction project
MUST involve the Quantity Surveyor as top three Consultants.

And they are paid a percentage of the entire sum of the project

No course is useless. Every course is very important. And if we have a lot of people thinking in the direction 'Some courses are useless', I can only imagine how many more sectors will become dormant in Nigeria! Smh
