With the way things are going i always advice people to go for a course that, when you fail to get a good
job, you can start some thing on your own.
i feel the Pharmacy is cool,but you must be serious to be able to graduate so they don't through you to chemistry or Botany after
first year. with the certificate and licence from Pharmacy you can open up a small store with drugs and you expand and forget about being employed by the Government.
Good Luck

no course is lucrative, read and strive to get good grades to satisfy your conscience and your folks for their investments, read any course you like( for naija we have seen graduates in medicine and other high sounding courses do menial jobs for survival while peeps who study French, linguistics, history etc excelling in big jobs and organizations)...this is not to down grade or look down on any course...success in life depends on myriad factors: the grace and favor of God, connections and ur hustling spirit/energy etc...even if u study Bet9ja and u are good in forecasting u go hammer b4 who go school....

ejighikemeuwa:
please there's no lucrative course in Nigeria as it stands now until fulani get out of the way.
they don't allow the indigenous people of north to go to school, they put in them that western education is evil (boko haram), and that is their program for every indigenous people of Nigeria. That's why they rubbish professionalism in Nigeria.

That's why they made them self slave masters to our politicians all over the nation, so:

FULANI MUST GO

You can be a programmer...

If programming nor work
Then bombing will be easy for you... or you can do the two simultaneously or rather concurrently
That is my programming room....first picture
And the second picture is my satum( inner room where you bomb and huzzle)
I only use my MacBook pro for bombing...

@sultanM this is the perfect advice.

The future is Tech and udemy has everything you need to learn the skills to excel in your chosen field.

In addition, if you don't like programming, learn(via udemy and YouTube) 2d animation, motion graphics, games Interactivity and if you must go to the Nigeria university, choose Futa and apply for Bsc cybersecurity.

Do any of this options and your future is secured.

Pharmacy

It is difficult to know if by lucrative you mean the profession that brings in good salary on the average. And if you also factor in the ease of getting a job postgraduation. Between Pharmacy and Architecture cited by you, Pharmacy is clearly the better choice here. But you also need to consider the possibility of you getting an admission to study pharmacy being a very highly competitive course to study at the moment. It is also not so easy to study Pharmacy, it's a course tough as a nail.

Now if you consider the prospects looking at the business dimension; averagely Pharmacy is still supremely better than Architecture in Nigeria.

However, before you make a final choice between the two I will encourage you to interact with practicing pharmacists from different areas of their practice, and practicing architects. Feel free to ask questions, you are about making a life-long decision and there are simply no questions too stupid to ask.

I wish you good luck, and if you eventually choose to study pharmacy and you successfully do so, I am going to be glad to welcome you to the honorable club.

Now, whichever you eventually choose between the two make sure you develop an IT skill. I will recommend Python programming. IT is both the currency of the present and of the foreseeable future. I am into programming too and the money I have made from working in IT-like area is more than 10 to 50 times the total amount I have made from traditional practice as a pharmacist.

Tall dream! No pharmaceutical company pays a pharmacist N500,000 at entry level. We don't even have industries in Nigeria. Recently, they employ them as Medical Representatives and the starting salary is less than ₦150,000 and a good part of the pay will come from meeting sale's target. Biochemistry, Microbiology and Human physiology graduates can be recruited to do the job.

Just like you rightly stated, the money-making opportunity for a pharmacist is in the business area. However, they are in stiff competition with chemists.

I asked this question because the job industry is dynamic and a graduate of Soil science can secure a job in audit firms, get MBA and ICAN and become a tax manager with a mouth-watering salary that even a pharmacist in the hospital or industry will never dream of.

I am a Biochemist and I work in a beverage company here in Nigeria and my annual salary and allowances is close to 10 million and I have just 1-year experience.

That is why big multinationals do not ask you field-based questions during job aptitude test. Your Quantitative, Verbal, Numerical and Abstract reasoning skills are tested because that is a true test of intelligence.

Even a chief pharmacist in the hospital doesn't come close to a management trainee in a good organization (who may have studied Agronomy with 2.1) in terms of salary.

It all boils down to being exceptional at whatever you do and making good use of every opportunity.

No course is more lucrative than the other.

It is always a good habit to read well what you are reacting to.

"There is no such thing as the "salary of a pharmacist". It eventually depends on the area of practice: hospital, industry, retail pharmacy, regulatory affairs, academia and research. Intern pharmacists (before they go on NYSC) should expect to collect between N100,000 and N150,000 monthly. But the money in pharmacy is in the business area of the practice even though you may expect to take anything above N500,000 monthly after few years working with pharmaceutical industries."


It will be a good idea if you read my response again before going wild with insinuations you didn't get from my words. Besides, if you felt you knew the answer to the question why must you waste my time in the first place?

I cannot argue with you and you know why? I am a pharmacist with years of experience, and you are apparently not. I discuss from a position of knowledge and working experience, you from the presumption of ignorance and yet you feel the need to attack something you don't know about. The very fact that you asked me what the pharmacist's salary was already would make any pharmacist know you don't know about the field; I simply didn't know you realize you would turn out to be this specimen of human being. If you bring yourself to the level of learning you might actually gain one or tow things. I could go on and on literally lecturing you about what kind of remuneration to expect from the different areas of practice in Nigeria, both at the entry level and after different number of years, and in the business sector which I am also an active player now for almost a decade in the country; but that would be a waste of my precious time. You should hold on to your defective belief about my profession, it adds nothing and definitely removes nothing from what we earn.

Lastly, it is very childish of you to try to turn this into an argument of which jobs pay better than pharmacists.

Enudapan:
Nah eh! No qualms
This is so sophisticated

Aside universities courses
Other skill courses are very lucrative
E.g
1.) The Igbo (Eastern) Apprentice system
Is lucrative (those guys they hit am big from there)
2.) Learning a bombing Skill (doesn't even requires much time)
