Advice For Secondary School Leavers Who Are Interested In Studying Accounting

In the quest to provide valuable career information to secondary school leavers and undergraduates, KNOWBASE CONSULT conducted an interview with an ICAN certified, practicing accountant with over 5 years working experience in the banking sector.

What advice do you have for Secondary School Leavers?


Secondary School Leavers who have sat and passed the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) should register for Accounting Technicians Scheme West Africa (ATSWA) – an affiliate body of Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). This gives prospective accounting students a focus, it keeps them on course to achieve their dream of being an Accountant. It also help prepare such students for the professional examination and gives them an edge when they get admitted to study accounting in the tertiary institution.

Upon successful completion the ATSWA examination, such students are recognized as Associate Accounting Technician (AAT) which is much recognized in West African countries and can be used to secure a job.

What advice do you have for baby-accountants?

Young accountants should have a clear career plan, stay focused, disciplined, dedicated and be consistent. He further stressed that young accountants should avoid working with a bank. He said it is challenging for young accountants to develop themselves while working in the bank.

End of Interview.

Undergraduates who have the means and academic ability to write the ICAN examinations should do so. During my undergraduate days I had few friends who were able to achieve this feat. They were ICAN certified upon graduation from the University. You too can do same.

To know more about accounting and other course, career paths click on KNOWBASE on my signature below, then Click on the
CAREER LINK

The interviewee is spot on. I agree with him. I also always tell people this.

I hold ICAN certificate myself and that is what I use to work.

Lol..Why?

Agreeably,the demand for the profession is fast outstripping the demand.But nevertheless,the services of lawyers will always be sought after.

In spite of the legal placidity of most Nigerians,law will always flourish.

Remember it's a profession and it has an already carved-out niche with no other profession or area of discipline can fit into.

Caveat: This is not based on hard data but on observations. It is compiled by JarusHub editor and 2 other contributors to this portal. Note also that this is not based on who earns the highest salary, but who has potential to earn decent income with his degree. Potential is the operative word here.

Here we go:

10. Mass Communication/Journalism: Mass Communication will remain a marketable because not many Universities do it, but many institutions need it. The downside is, journalism is not seen as exclusive preserve of MassComm graduates, as graduates of almost any course are recruited by news outfits. Yet, the course still stands a decent chance.



9. Law: Maybe the supply is fast outstripping demand and affecting pricing, Law has declined in economic value. However, it remains a Top 10 course. Whether you decide to practice or go into corporate world, or you decide to go into allied things like real estate agency, you still stand a decent chance of earning decent income with a Law degree.

8. Nursing/Laboratory Science: Nurses don’t earn mouth-watering pay, but they are hardly jobless. I see Nurses change jobs like clothes. Hospitals and clinics – private and public – are springing up everyday, and a medium size clinic needs at least 4 Nurses. Some may have as much as 20. Same goes with Lab scientists, although in lower demand.

7. Mechanical, Electrical & other related Engineering courses: Engineering courses generally sell in the oil and gas industry. In addition these courses are also asked for in other major industries.

6. Economics/Accounting/Finance: The good thing about Economics is that it fits into many roles. I hesitated to include Accounting here because Accounting degree alone without professional qualifications is not usually so helpful; however, I included it because I expect the accounting graduate to do the needful of writing professional examinations after his degree. Even without professional qualifications, you can still get a decent job with Accounting degree only in the many small to medium scale firms that require the services of accounting graduates. Finance is another great course. The three courses, sometimes alongside Management and Business Administration, are usually in hot demand, although supply still exceed demand and many graduates of these courses are still jobless.

5. Computer Science/Computer Engineering/IT courses: IT professionals are in hot demand the world over. Nigeria is not different. With special IT skills, your chance is even brighter. The downside is, anybody can learn IT skills, even if he doesn’t study computer engineering.

4. Geology: It is also a course that places you in good position to penetrate the much-sought-after oil industry.

3. Chemical/Petroleum Engineering: These courses have the potential to fetch you the fattest pay check after graduation because the companies that ask for them are those that pay heavily – the oil companies.

2. Estate Management/Architecture/Building/Survey/Civil Engineering: A degree in any of these courses places you in a good position for self-employment. Even from school, Architecture students make money drawing plans for people. We consider these courses the second most marketable courses in Nigeria.



1. Medicine: Medicine may not earn you N500k per month at entry level, but it is the course that guarantees you job the most. I have never come across a jobless medical doctor. The pay may not be as heavy as the Chemical engineering guy in the IOC, but you are guaranteed of better-than-average income as a doctor. Medicine is number 1 on our list.

Pharmacy is not on ur list? Then ur list is flawed. Not a pharmacist, though.
