Just thinking how it's a waste of time studying such course in clime as this...

Don't know maybe to pick up jamb form and put in for another course...(radiography)


Microbiology, Biochemistry, Zoology, Botany, etc. They sound Behind but not wanted Nigeria. I have never seen a vacancy for any of them before.

pharmacy is very enjoyable to practice.

Notice I didn’t pick any professional course above it?

Because to me there’s none above it. Doctors who are their competitors don’t even make how much they make in community pharmacies.


I only pick Tech, Business and then Politics above Pharmacy.

Don’t even mention oil industry cos it’s literally no longer existent in Nigeria again.

Pharmacy is very great among other professional courses in Nigeria but Tech boys and their dollars don spin my eyes with their Dollars.

Have been following ya comment on this thread.
I must say......ya threading bad bro.

Please believe so well in the pharmacy you are studying. Believe in it as if your life depends on it.
And fate will decide.

I wish you can read the comments of graduates on this thread. They also believed as you believe now. If believe is enough, we will not even need to go to the university in the first place. I'm not discouraging you but being realistic. My opinion though.

shocked Please oh.. Is Nautical science(working as a sailor on a ship) a good course to study??

Does that even exist in any Nigerian Uni? That would have been a dream course for me, if I was still aspiring for a varsity admission, coz I've always loved 2 work with ships sailing the seas.

If you aren't going to school to study any of the courses listed below, pls don't bother going at all:

•Medicine
•Nursing
•Pharmacy
•Computer Science
•Radiography
•Some engineering courses

If it's not any of the above, abeg sit down for house, use that money you would have used to pay school fees and get a Laptop... start learning to code,in 8 months time,you'll be glad you did so.

What I came to realize about life is this; our parents know what they've seen when they urge and insist we study "professional" courses in school,but we young folks disregard their point of view as "ancient"... I for example was studying Botany in the university, reasoned what I'll do with this thing in the long run... omorr I saw I was just wasting my time oh,took jamb in my third year,applied for pharmacy in a federal university, got the admission... I'm really glad I made that decision.

Living in Nigeria is hard... don't make it harder for yourselves by studying Nonsense

Lots for you. You can work in Food Manufacturing coy(breweries, confectionery etc) , Petrochemicals (eg fertilizer) , Oil and Gas etc.

Even in the military. Chemistry, industrial chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering/science are all under explosive engineering and/or explosive science and technology but I see some commenters insulting those courses. Go and look at the ongoing direct short service commission for professionals of the Nigerian army many of their so called professional courses are been relegated….

Had I not changed my course from Agronomy to Computer Science I'd have regretted. Thank God for the decision I made. God did not allow Lautech to change my destiny - I picked computer science they gave me Agronomy, a name I had not hear about until when I was offered a provisional admission into dept of Agronomy...agro wetin? Mo ya Japa.... Funny enough some people were encouraging me to stay at Agronomy saying that's what God wants for you and bla bla bla...

The bolded... cheesy
The only regret is the school I am studying not the course

I agree with you that everything is destiny. But you can't compare yourself with Jonathan. Even his daughter married a medical doctor not a zoologist.

1. Employment rate is lower now than then. In those days, even with ordinary O'level, you are already employed by the government.

2. Nobody needs a zoologist now aside some govt universities and they can't employ up to 0.1% of their yearly products.

Make research on employment rate for 100 graduates of science courses like zoology, forestry, botany, biochemistry and microbiology. You will notice that 99 of them are either under-employed in a private nursery and primary school, unemployed or learning handiwork after youth service.

Ignore my advice if your parents are rich.
LOL, "Jonathan daughter married a medical doctor not a zoologist", does that prove anything. Isn't Jonathan's wife married to a zoologist. You think medical doctors will be enjoying the country and be leaving anyhow. Tell me any Nigerian doctor that can boast 50m in his account apart from Bukola Saraki that never used his result.
The op of this thread said he regretted studying engineering, I'm sure engineering would be in your list if the op never mentioned is course. See check WHO, UNICEF, and see if most employees and leaders studied the courses you are hyping. Leave your life, and hope for the best, do go out there and be forcing course on ss3 students, like saying All of you MUST study medicine if you want a bright future, ignore my advice if your parents are rich. LOL.

Less than 150k. I had a collection of chemical suppliers so I started as a middle man between the suppliers and consumers (mainly industries, laboratories and science institutions). Through hard work and integrity, I was able to get lots of items from these suppliers on credit to go supply to my clients when i get requests and boom! My breakthrough.

Lol
Bro is the course really that bad.? I have been seeing people insulting this course. grin grin I have seen some graduates of biochemistry in the military, some working in flour mill, pharmaceutical company, medical lab, beverages company nd even to some extent in the hospital. I have a street friend that always hype this course just because that’s what his elder bro studied and he has worked with 3 top pharmaceutical firm like norvatis and two others wic I can’t remember as medical sale rep. He told me his bro was given official car and he has been able to build houses as well as living well. Reasonable graduates has bagged fully funded scholarship with this discipline. The rate of unemployment is just too high in this country that’s why some courses just look so useless nd irrelevant. This biochem is what I have been seeing people hype abroad. U really crack me up with your comment wic made me rush to quote u and mind u I am even seeing some commenters saying they know some professional graduates still jobless. In this country it’s just what it is. Truly with no backings, one will suffer with studying irrelevant courses.


Lol... My brother, since I graduated until now, I have never use the course in my present line of business. Have to start learning programming and God has been so kind shall. Though I still go through my biochemistry books and even do some research because the moment I move out of this country I must further my education up to the level of doctorate degree.
