Six out of these seven are not my thing at all. I am left with English and Literature, Law, Theatre arts and Journalism.


Judging from your write up.... you're not strong in English. I would advise you leave out the ones that strong English is a must.... and that would be all except Theatre Arts.

Ehehehehehe...

I can relate to the reality ... most people in print find it difficult to grow... that is why they are in one place for years... "Multimedia" , (getting everything around it) is the way.

You will even be hired as an expat anywhere in the world.

Finally look beyond the locals... go to where you can network with international medias... there are opportunities once in a while.

Write WAEC again and go for nursing.

Social media don take over Journalism and as for Law, is law really obeyed in the country?

Read Nursing first degree and move to the USA ,Europe or Canada and be earning well.

Nigeria it is! Go beyond print media... Multimedia is the way.. get all the necessary skills. And put your nose down to network.

People in print media seldom grows.

News producers, news correspondents, ability to film, news editing, you can acquire all.


I remember telling a foster daughter how i don't want her to go to a university to read mass communication 2 years ago.

I told her to go to school of journalism she first fumed at it.. but later she was thankful...

You see studying mass communication is a waste of years.. when you can get all the skills and start working asap when you finish NIJ.

How do you compete with a Journalism student or a public relations student... when you are stuck in between as a mass communication student. You will still need to go for either of these courses before you can honestly acquire a skill.

Evening guys.

I am confused. I initially wanted to take JAMB UTME and fill mass communication as my course in UNIBEN but as many of us know, it has been scraped and spilit to seven courses.

Six out of these seven are not my thing at all. I am left with English and Literature, Law, Theatre arts and Journalism.

My parents have warned me not to take theatre arts. I personally don't fancy studying English and literature.

I am scared of law because 98% of times, I have heard that law is extremly stressful and boring.

Journalism is cool but is a law degree not more valuable than that of a journalist?

Please people, help me decide as I have just 48 hours to make up my mind and purchase the form. Thanks.

Ur Jamb Score should be ur main focus now

Law is very Lucrative and we'll well respected Discipline only if you are ready to go extra Ordinary mile and achieve excellent result. Meanwhile Journalism is a nice course which can lead you to become independent and an possibly an Entrepreneur. What you should watch out for here is the area your passion lies.

You have a lot of wrong misconceptions.

No certificate is more valuable than the other cos they all contribute in making life meaningful. Its just like saying the eyes are more valuable than the hands or legs.

You can only talk of which gives you better prospects and employability.

Worst is the one she despises has better chance of feeding her.

She can take immediate appointment with a school to teach English/literature in secondary school, become classroom teacher in primary school or teach phonics.

Law has more prospects no matter what. If for eg you are faced with unemployment after graduation, God forbid, you have more chances of survival as a lawyer than as a journalist... Moreover, with one or two little training as a lawyer, you can practice journalism after all.

None. Both are useless degrees these days. Law firm no go pay pass 20k. Journalism na oga nephew from uk and usa get am . Better to go learn make up or tailoring . 5 years plus law school is not worth it
Yes and
she can still get a degree and learn tailoring (other trade) on his summer break
that will put her in a powerful position
don't listening to people as you use ur summer break to learn trade time will tell
The greatest thing you will do for you is get that degree and skill trade
If you are waiting for JMAB start learning the trade

A Journalism degree may take you farther than a law degree in less time.

You can practice journalism anywhere in the world, but with a law degree, you can only practice in Nigeria. If you leave Nigeria, you will have to go to Law School in the other country, or even repeat University in some cases

It depends on how much time you have and where you see yourself in seven years. Journalism will take up five years of your life tops, Law could take up to seven

you are right. i studied Law and Iam seriously regretting. 8 years of wasted life

Pls study law. U can still end up as a journalist with a law degree and do many other things lawyers do. Lawyers have many sources of income. You don't have to do litigation if you don't like it and you may even get to like it.

Law is not boring. People's report of a thing is not necessarily going to be your experience. No course is easy. Law is not an exception. Journalism would probably be more difficult for your person.

Do you love to read interesting stories? You will come across many cases that are interesting in law and they will easily stay on your head.
Do you love to give pieces of advice to people? Do you have passion for justice? Do you pay attention to details and like real professionalism? Law is for you. With law, you can start earning so well even without a job.

If you really like journalism that much, you can be a journalist even from school while studying law and have your write-ups published. No one says you need a degree for that. I had a classmate who had a Ph.D in philosophy and had been into journalism since the days of his first degree in philosophy. Today, he is a lawyer and a journalist. He never studied journalism. He came back for law because law has a lot to offer. That explains why many come back for it even after 1 or 2 degrees. I studied law as a second first degree and I love law.

Whatever you decide to do. Put in your best. All d best.

Big difference... mass communication course is an incomplete course... that talks about little of PR, Journalism, Administration and others.

It is a like a Jack of all trades, masters of none.

However, It shapes you and give you little idea about real
