Naija now is not what you read that determine your future carrier. I've discovered that thus that study highly competitive courses and most difficult courses are the jobless graduate. Just pray to God for destiny helper, learn handwork before graduating, and have a small business. Don't wait for White collar job if your uncle is not a politician. |

Nothing is useless unless you make it so |

doghorp:The closest to engineering degree is physics, just make the most of what you're studying. Lady luck could smile on you after graduating. Industries like Telecom place engineering and Physicists side by side. Try as much as possible to get a 2:1. And if things don't go your way eventually you could explore M.sc in IT and pick up some programming skills. Hope I helped? |

I studied Physics Electronics from a prestigious university in the North Central, Nigeria, but presently in to Building/Interior Design and most of my mates are working as a classroom teachers or factory workers; my dear.... Study a professional course. |

Any course in Nigeria is a useless course trust me,there are lots of medical doctors and pharmacist out there that are not doing well. Uncle Buhari in his own words said "you can graduate with good grades from a good school and still not get a job". So what you need is God's grace. |

With physics degree just do master in geophysics & U will be sort after. |

We are in the 21st century where studying a particular course should not limit you only within the confines of your country. If your are within the top 2% of your class, even if you have lesser opportunities in Nigeria you can go global. Improve your skills in all facets of life computer programming skill, leadership skills and pop into USA market where such skills are really needed in abundance, this you can easily do via graduate school. Register for the GRE exams, since you have few years before post NYSC , try and ACE it within these few years you have and watch funding go your way. That you see people studying your course and struggling doesn't mean your course isn't a hot cake elsewhere, be open and be positive. N/B this mostly work for students who are within the top 2 % in their academics. |

Like some comments have already alluded above.. Most physics and chemistry grads end up becoming secondary school teachers. Sad but it's what it is. |

eddynaira125: You obviously have no idea what Physics is all about. Elon Musk studied Physics. Physics is not an end in itself but rather a means to an end. You don't know what advantage you have getting to study orbital mechanics and several other topics in physics. I am currently self studying math, chemistry and physics for my future enterprise. 3 Likes |

First note that job adverts this days don’t select course butt only your vast knowledge and experience in that opening available in vacancy. Second, I studied pure and applied physics, doing my masters in naval architecture, and currently working in an IT coy ( did a data science course here) You can do anything as a physicist because you are well grounded in the basis of engineering and IT Don’t let anyone send you back to the village. I have my mates working in airtel, Shell, airpeace, and a host of others doing well abroad by furthering in physics branches like astrophysics, material physics, marine engineering and geophysics Don’t let anyone fool you.

I think its a great course with lotsa potential outside Nigeria. What you need to do is to get a great result and apply for scholarships abroad upon graduation. Do not relent, you're on a good path if you have a passion it anyway. |

No course is useless at the end of the day. However, certain courses do not favour the less privilege. At 300 level, how's your performance? Do you have money to explore? Do you have a family abroad or at least a good grade for a scholarship or something? If you don't have any of this, the hard truth is that you may have to settle for a low or mid paying job, most likely a Physics teacher. With good grades, you can get a job in at least 10 unrelated sectors, including banking. With money, you can become anything you want, with or without your Physics. |
