micflo28: He would simply write a bar exam anywhere he goes. Law, Medicine, Nursing and Accounting are actually the best courses for Nigerians who want to work abroad. As regulated professions, all you have to do is write the equivalent exams over there and you are qualified to work there unlike say Engineers where there is no easy way to prove you have sufficient knowledge and training so you have to rely on presenting your degree which may not be accepted in those foreign countries. English education? What stupidity. Nobody is even going to employ someone not from the UK, US, AU or NZ as an English teacher. If you like get a first class, they won't believe you have a good command of the English language if you are not from the typical English speaking countries. 4 Likes |

Bodyodour: I can tell you for sure that he is making a very big mistake. As a lawyer, the situation is not as gloomy as they paint it on social media. To demonstrate my point, and drawing from personal experience, there are lots of lawyers who have never been poorly paid. Some law firms pay as much as 170k for NYSC. Post NYSC, my salary was circa 250 and it goes up every damn fuck_n year. Again, take a look at the top lawyers in the field - Olanipekun, Asue Ighodalo, Oyebode, Yusuf Ali, Pinheiro, Kanyinsola Ajayi amongst others too numerous to mention. These guys are ballers. Look at their offices and cars. Kanyinsola Ajayi's office is in Banana Island. Do you understand that? These guys live the sweet and smooth life mehnnnn. Same cannot be said of English Language graduates that you know. Indeed, I must emphasise that you must not limit yourself to practice. There is so much out there that you can make a killing from. Ibe Kachikwu made bastard money working in-house. The likes of joe abah carved a niche for themselves in governance and they are doing well. The minister of foreign affairs worked for an international organization and he made a killing for himself as well. So, please and please, don't restrict yourself to law practice as there are lots of opportunities out there waiting for you. Even if my post is not useful to the OP, i hope it inspires someone out there to keep trying. The best decision i ever made was to study law. 5 Likes |

The opportunity to study law doesn't disappear because he changed his major. He can always do that. But ultimately, he should decide what he wants, not other people. 1 Like |

He is seeing things from a microlensing, he needs to see from a magnifying lense. Life is not run base on 1+1 calculations. It is not about what you studied but how you arnest opportunities at the long run. Did he know that airpeace owner studied law n today he is a big success in airline, Olu oke studied medicine but a big success in building now. It is not all about what you studied but how you sees opportunities. If he is convinced, let him go but those reasons he pointed out are not relevant. 1 Like |

Teachers are well paid now a days! It might be a smart move but not an intelligent decision. Many people will not buy such decision, it is apposite considering the state of the world and the trend and dimension Nigeria is tilting towards these days. I took similar decision many years back to jettison Law for Philosophy. I wouldn't confidently say my decision was right but I will take such decision anew. Thinking about it now, I might possibly not be a good lawyer but presently, I am not a bad administrator. So, the guy in question might have something off his sleeves, I pray it pays him at the end of the day. 1 Like |

micflo28: I just did not want to contribute to this thread but reading the last part of your post i thought I should state categorically that I beg to differ. A number of my classmates are practicing outside the country, particularly in the UK and Canada. The ones in the UK did conversion exams. On the topic, I am tired of suggesting what people should or should not do. Let the guy study whatever makes him happy. I am only just wondering now, what happened to all those graduates of English/Linguistics? They do not know how to get to Asia, Korea, Japan, etc? Last Last whatever makes anyone happy they should just do it and take responsibility for their decisions abeg. I am proudly a lawyer and will only ensure in my next world I don't dilly-dally before opting to study law again. 1 Like |

I think while studying English education he can still hustle on the side. I know ladies who went to law school put off their internet business and by the time they were done, the business has been over saturated. |
