If u study computer science, u have the freedom to work anywhere. as a computer scientist u can work in the oil and gas sector, u can work as a network analyst, Software developer, business system analyst(google dis 1), computer system analyst(rated 3rd best job in 2015 expected to grow by 22% up till 2022 ). an system analyst earn an AVERAGE $80,000 annaually thats about 16million naira yearly. beat that.

Computer science is wide. people think anybody can learn computer science apparently because they think computer science is just about typing, printing and desktop publishing thats about 0.00001% of computer science. ICT(computer science)is also rated 10most maketable course in nigeria to study. link coming up soon

Computer Science sure rocks better when it comes to pay...The depth of knowledge you have as a scientist is overwhelming in comparison with an engineer but pay should not be your focus, there are of course engineers who get paid better than their CS counterparts, but for the record, CS outperforms CE...choose CS if you like Software+Abstract stuffs, chose CE for Hardware...hope ive been able to help u a bit...plus im an electrical engineering student (B.eng in view)

Pls note, dont let money be your motivation on why u want to study. let it be your passion! passion will take you far.
