In these days of saturated labour market, It is very important that you study courses that are versatile or in demand so that your chances of getting a good job or standing alone as a consultant is brighter.

These are the courses that are most widespread in terms of need and application in almost all the industry - banks, construction, financial services, oil and gas, food & beverages, research, manufacturing, steel, power, etc. Just name it. They may not necessarily be the highest paying but they needed in almost all industries. You will most likely find these professionals there:

1) Computer science / ICT

2) Electrical Engineering

3) Mechanical Engineering

4) Accounting

5) Nursing ( most notable firms in Nigeria have clinics which require the services of a nurse as a minimum)

6) HSE (Health, Safety and Environment)

7) Law

These are the ones I know. You can add yours and let the house confirm it.

HSE is a course?

Mixty:

In some schools, yes

is it related to public health?

And where do u keep that universal commercial course?? ECONOMICS!!!!!!!

Largas:

no, not in the way u think

.

Political science is not versatile in various industries. though it is not a bad course

LarryBeryl:

Economics is a very good course. But on its own, it is not so widely applicable in industries. Most economists end up switching to accounting to remain relevant. Ask jarus

very well, that does not dispute the fact that it touches almost all commercial relating courses.... of which account is also part of.

I have listed courses which on their own can be applied in various industries, not disciplines in which you have to switch to be relevant.

. I got ur point.

#ECONOMICS should top that list

Ok i've seen Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Electronics Engineering there.


Waiter please give this my boss Mixty a plate of Melon soup with Fufu and a bottle of Pepsi.


The bills are on me.

Lol

what course are you studying?

Mixty:

Lol

what course are you studying?

I'm an aspirant of Mechanical Engineering

As i just see "Engineering" for the write-up, i just say make i show here sharpenly.

E383:
Chemical Engineering OP

Chemical engineering is also versatile. But I wouldn't place it in the top 10.

.

E383:


Ha! Oga I beg to disagree. Going by your analysis some of those disciplines you mentioned can not be termed versatile.

You won't find chemical engineers in the construction, steel fabrication, automobile and even in some manufacturing firms (who prefer to recruit either mechanical or electrical engineers).

Chemical engineering is widely applicable, no doubt. But its scope in nigeria is usually limited to majorly process, food & beverages, and the oil industry. Some find themselves in finance industry tho.

So...what's your own view?

Dont think you guys have had of IME Industrial Maintenance Engineering (combination of both mechanical and electrical engineering)
Mechatronics (combination of mech,elect,computer) .... Offered in Yabatech don't know about other schools
