Hello guys...I wanted to study political science but I've not been given admission so I was referred to study sociology but I don't know much about the course...
And where can I fit into in real life if I study sociology

Advise please To be candid with you please study a course that is a professional and marketable course. A close friend of mine study Political science 16 years down the lane no good jobs because is course is not a marketable nor a professional course ..these are the thing's you look at when picking a course except you want to be a teacher or maybe you a desperate to be a graduate or you have connections waiting for you. The system in Nigeria rendered some courses in irrelevant.

After graduation, you fit into the security sector very well

Worse worse, you teach

OP: Actually, there is no bad course even in Nigeria/anywhere. Don't allow anyone discourage you. Just try and get a good grade, the sky is your limit.

Don’t just say wrong, prove it.
Now tell me, will you tell a student studying medicine that “you can work anywhere, and start mentioning industries that are not health-related?”
Or you will tell an engineer that you can work in the legal sector?
Or tell a pharmacist that you can work in hospitality?
Or tell an architect that “you can work in Oil and gas sector”?
See, we have to be more candid and give aspirants the right advice .
The only good courses that are quite versatile now are IT courses.

I get your points and they are quite valid, but saying that good courses are highly specialized is wrong, some people will still tell you that specialist courses some how limit one's opportunities...I just feel that there's no good or bad course, it's just understanding what the market place demands and fine tuning whatever you studied to meet those demands.

I studied Geography And Planning (B.SC)
Is Geography a nice course to study in Nigeria

Answer
Me: NO....Forget the Planning attached. Its all propaganda.
Except you want to become a Geography Teacher. You are good to go.

Advice:
Study what will make you relevant in 30 years to come globally. You are not getting any younger. The world is evolving. Some courses are becoming Irrelevant by the day and should be scrapped. One day, u will clock 50.
You can't be 50 and be jumping from one job to another. You can't be 50 and still be sending CVs. Think of your future.


As for me, I want to switch to HEALTH (Medical Line).

P.S:
Nobody should mention Bus Admin. Nigeria has pushed over 90% of Graduates from all fields into business. Did they study Bus Admin...No. Did I study Bus Admin...No. Yet I do business.
You all should wake up. In Business, you learn from the experience. Not School.
That's my 2 Naira.
'
if only you had good grades in that geography, I can tell you that you would have been to any country as an expart. There is really no bad course, just know what you are doing.

People who studied very good courses like engineering are suffering and you are thinking of studying a course that is very irrelevant in Nigeria, and to an extent, the world.
Man, don’t let anyone rush you to studying a useless course except if you are from a fortunate home or you have “reliable” connections.
If you don’t have any of the aforementioned, abeg don’t rush. Calm down and study good courses that is still very much relevant in this present world.
And for those that will come here and say, it’s not about what you study, one can learn good skills .
How about you study a very good course and also learn those skills?
My 2 cents
I support this comment with 1 bottle of chilled heineken.

Sociology is about the social world.

And since the world is a social place, a sociology graduate can get job in any fields known to man.

It is a far better course than political science.

If you are planning to study the following courses, please don't think that you will end up in your field. They are almost useless in Nigeria

Political Science
Sociology
Psychology
Microbiology
Biochemistry
Parasitology
Public Admin (very useless course)
Economics

Nigeria is gradually moving from what you studied to what skills you have and what you can do with them


Please all other courses aside from maybe medicine, pharmacy and computer science should be added to this list.

Looking at Nigeria today you want to waste your money on sociology. I wonder what's wrong with people, even political science is not a good course, but just a little better than sociology. Don't let your heart lie to you, as u are studying please go learn a skill, both courses are just there for u to claim graduate.
Re: Is Sociology A Nice Course To Study In Nigeria? by criuze(m): 1:59pm On Apr 02, 2021
Social science are very beautiful to study but the truth is that there arent much opportunities their

because Nigeria lacks carrea professionalism

that means anybody can take your job from any side without minding



i would prefer studying pure arts like cinematography, theatre arts, music (production/instruments) and so on

or digital sciences


though i got my Bsc/Ed in political Science and its cool.

you only need to go extra mile or even out of your way

in order words, you may not have to rely only on it

It's a beautiful course to study but a lot of people don't know THAT. Please go ahead and I bet you will not regret you did in the near future.
I didn't study sociology for my BSc but my passion led me to that field and I'm forever greatful I'm in that field today.
Wish you all best!
Re: Is Sociology A Nice Course To Study In Nigeria? by Allergic(m): 2:19pm On Apr 02, 2021
I would say, if you do not have a sound knowledge of a particular subject, please do not offer an opinion.

My heart bleeds for most of the responses here.

Sociology, like most of the social science majors, is very important for our current dispensation in Nigeria, however, this hasn't been the case.

As a sociologist, there are many career opportunities one can embark on, Like Human Resources, Criminology (working with agencies of the judiciary arm of government like the police, EFCC, e.t.c.), Social Analyst, Public Relation, Social Worker, Consultant.

The field of Social Science is a gold mine and it's largely untapped in Nigeria.

Let's take, for instance, take a look at what BudgIT is currently doing analysing our annual budgets and general public spending.

To a great extent, Africa as a continent lacks data and structured information about Human Demography because our Social Scientists have not been up to the task. This could be largely due to a lack of funding or a competency gap.

To conclude, the field of Social Science is still a goldmine in Africa as a whole.

If you come out you'll be very good at marketing jobs since it's expected you'd already be trained rigorously on socializing with people easily but I'll rather go for Psychology the only useful course in Social sciences

hope this helps
