christejames:
If I mention them, you will think I'm going haywire but I'm somewhat correct


The courses are...

Medicine and Surgery

Pharmacy

Law

Engineering (especially Mechanical)

Computer Science

Note: the question said in Nigeria



And some others that I can't remember now. Those courses eh, you will think after graduation, money will be flowing because to many studying those course they think they are always sought after , the labour market is entirely a different story especially here in Nigeria, without connection or enough capital to start up for yourself, you will just be seeing yourself jumping from one office to the other looking for the firm or company that will at least top even 2k to your current salary so that you will move 😂

Mindlog:


Na ignorance.

Problem is most Nigerian students who are studying Psychology, is more of wetin man for do, it was never their first choice because of Jamb score and fear of staying at home, one more year.

Hence many would graduate and begin to ask the dumb question of what they can do with their degree certificate because they only went through the montions of lectures, copy and paste, cramming etc, never internalized nor stretched their minds

For those serious Psychology graduates in Nigeria, they are many opportunities for them if they are smart. For example, with their knowledge of how the human mind works, they can do some online certifications in memory training to become a memory training coach. We have so many Nigerian parents worried that their children are struggling with remembering what they are taught in school......that is where a memory trainer comes in, with the skills learnt he/she can twice a week offer online video sessions with such young ones and help them redirect how they learn, to become better in understanding and remembering what has been taught....this is evidence based.

Shebi so many of our young ones are comfortably doing drugs, are becoming alcoholics, doing crazy things on social media...in the coming years many rehabilitation centres will be springing up as it is now and we need those who are skilled in mental health as workers.

They should hone their skills in therapy, Nigerians need professionals not social media influencers who claim to be therapists.

My background in Psychology made me a Neurodevelopmental Assessment Practitioner, I use laptops, softwares, cameras to assess young ones for ADHD (Attention Deficiency Hyperactive Disorder) a mix of Psychology and IT.

The field has so many pathways for those who truly have the passion.

Please don't let any of your siblings study any of the aforementioned courses in this era, they are better rewriting JAMB or learning digital skills than going to higher institution to waste time and resources, and if by mistake you allow them study any of these outdated generic courses, then prepare to support them with learning trade or starting a small scale business after graduation.



Some courses ought to be scraped in Nigeria. NUC/NBTE and Ministry of Education ought to revisit our tertiary education curriculum and remove a lot of outdated courses from there and replace them with current trends that can produce graduates that will solve current global challenges.

Lol... most of you naming MBBS are ignorant. Lol MBBS and Pharmacy useless? Looooolest, loud and nescient people just plenty for nairaland sha.

Course wey be say house officers (housmanship students undergoing the one year internship —equivalent to IT) dey earn at least 250k—students who are yet to even serve o. I reside in a medical environment and some of our last batch graduating students didn't even wait for their induction before Oyinbo land scoop them, yet Unilag CMD was at UITH induction last year begging them to wait behind. Absolutely all of our graduated medical students, na work dey chase them.
Make una dey play o. You think say na Yahoo Maduka do build tallest university/build for the whole Igboland?

The medical field is quite assuring from my experience: Pharmacy, MLS, Nursing are all lit and indispensable, with fair Nigerian-standard incomes and values. Physiotherapy, Radiology, and Dentistry are not excluded. I know less of Optometry.

NB:
This is an addendum posed to jambites with hopes for medicine but confused. Look, forget yahoo, crime, and all those ill-advices you come across, I swear the medical field is a field that pays! You will be associated with relevance. However, body go tell you, as you have a massive price to pay o—your mental and physical health will be put to test, especially if you use a federal university, which I strongly recommend. Inadequate social life, down times, weak background... Due to its rigour, many people withdraw, but many more scaled through and graduated and are close to fulfillment in life. If you have affinity for studying, follow through, your life is paved.

In conclusion, if you can wield a strong coping mechanism, you're seriously fit for a medical school, and your future is satisfactorily secured. Shalom.
