Normally I shouldn’t even respond to you because I already know you are shallow. If not for the corruption and injustice in this country, teachers and lecturers all round are to be handsomely paid and compensated. The only difference between most of those teachers earning peanuts is that they happened to be more opportuned. It’s not because your friends have more sense than they do. End of discussion with you.
so in usa and uk teachers are not even in the upper class it is Nigeria here u want them to be highly paid abi?

Police Officer.

That job used to be a well respected one until their penchant for bribery and corruption made them lose my respect.

I was speaking to a friend some weeks back and he proudly announced to me that he's now a SUPOL. After the call, I had to put his number on blacklist. I don't want anything to do with a Police Officer biko! Those guys are worse than the devil.

They are unavoidable evil, as an evil friend one may need them to tackle another 😈 . One Police officer has once assisted me in dealing with a devil in the past, could you believe this same Policeman duped me at the time of adversity despite knowing my situation at the time. I just assumed I've paid him back for the assistance he rendered in the past.

Affiliate Marketing can never be one of those professions, it's a serious business where a lot of young people are making crazy numbers weekly.

Laughs hysterically! cheesy cheesy cheesy

Nigerian Police never fails to disappoint! Very use.less sets of m0rons who wouldn't mind to kill their own parents for money.

I've had several dealings with them and not once have they acted professional or even dedicated to service. They are worse than armed bandits!

The day any of my family member joins the Police Force is the day I'll cut off all ties with that person. *Spits*

PS- sorry about your experience by the way.

They are one of the most responsible people I have met. I have friends in the army, airforce, immigration,NSCDC. Why putting is no. On blacklist? You may need is help one day, he is a civilian 1st before becoming a policeman, he is human & got family too
Do you know the evil they carry out in your absentia?
Some Policemen close to my office set traps for private cars in order to exploit them. Their families too will say they one of the most responsible sets.
You are right!!! In some situation, it is Devil you will need to deal with devil. When you encounter another Devil in the Police force or Society, one may need them.

look at your colleagues that paid the ultimate price and how the government treats their families. That should motivate you for your next decision.

In my own experience, Naija Policemen are among the worst people that I've ever encountered in life. I hate anything Nigerian Police!

They tell lies shamelessly, they twist facts, they fabricate evidence to victimize innocent people and never miss the opportunity to intimidate anyone whom they think is weak. Most annoyingly, they worship money more than anything. They are just too horrible for my liking!

Anytime I see a Naija Police man, my stomach churns with hatred. I repeat, I can never ever befriend a Police man.

*Spits*
This is true for a majority of them, the good ones are a rare gem.

I understand you very well.

My way is art, socials, skills/business base on socials too.
I know there is money in sciences. I did critical thinking and my life is not core science(i can do partial science if need be).
But, better to make way with what your brain accomodates. My way is food(preparing, cooking meals for sale). If i go into another thing, it will be fatal for me!
epainos:

Could you clearly state non-science trends? Lol. You don't know...right?

Guy, if you want to make it today, maybe for the next 50 years, you should focus on the areas I have listed. Perhaps you want to study accounting or law and become successful. Go ask lawyers and accountants how far. Or maybe theatre art or whatever is what you want to go into. Yes, you can make it, but you will face hell. Only less than 1% artists make it to Hollywood. Even Nollyhood here...go ask them how far. Lol.

If you want to make it, you should study science. Even though it is not core science, there is a data component (maths) as well as an analytical component (data, logic, probability, and combination with permutation). Analytics encompasses predictions, trading, and even gambling. Gambling is actually a skill, but many people enter it blindly. Perhaps you should read about Nate Silver, who correctly predicts the majority of US elections. He also makes accurate predictions in football. He used to be a consultant for one of the big four, but he quit. Today, he gambles and wins big. Gambling is more than just throwing money away...it requires an analytical mind that can make accurate predictions based on mathematical and logical expressions.

You still don't get the point. OK. Let me explain better. There are applications for the areas I mentioned that can be used in other areas. My point is that you must find a way to apply them. I used the examples of trading, betting, gambling, and prediction as data analysis applications. The same data analysis can be used in food. Genetics, regenerative agriculture, and other technologies can also be applied to food. Did you know that food marketing and sales require analytical skills? Every entrepreneur must get into it. You may not enter the core area, but you should begin using apps designed for your area. And, if you have the grace to go deeper into any of the core areas, do so.

Let me tell you something else. Do you know that BSc and MBA Business Management focus on application? However, the MSc and PhD Business degrees are quite different. The best mathematicians, engineers, programmers, chemists, and data analysts pursue PhD in Business. Go find out. The best of the best in various fields are those who pursue a PhD in business, which is one of the most difficult areas at that level.

Everything that is created will come from the areas I have listed. All subjects will be from this area soon. Programming will soon become a mandatory subject in high school education. It will soon be compulsory like English and Maths. It will come to the point where if you cannot write programs well, you will be unable to practice medicine, law, or pharmacy, etc.

Your brain can accommodate more than you realize. It all depends on your foundation. I agree that geniuses exist, but we can all adapt. Our brain is a super engine.

They aren't respected how? Are medical doctors the only ones that deserve good things? People should lick their shoes before you know they are respected or what? 🤔

Teachers, lawyers, engineers, lecturers, nurses, those ones are not human beings abi? Soldier wey dey fight Boko Haram dey earn less than 100k monthly.

Every time na "doctor, doctor" meanwhile they are the ones enjoying the most. Most lecturers with PhD earn less than medical doctors. Do you know how long it takes to have a BSc + Master's + PhD? But whenever ASUU strikes, we blame them instead of the government! Meanwhile lecturing is harder than treating people... in case you didn't know.

Just because doctors spent 6-7 years in medical school we no go hear word again. 😏
