Yes, this is what they tell you whenever they want you to study a very useless course. They will say “you can work anywhere”, lol.
Oga, good courses are highly specialized...
Actually sociology can work anywhere however, there are limited job space for graduates. Nigeria has excess labourers with less demand for their skills and talents

Social work is different from Sociology please. Social work is a field distinct from Sociology. Reading Sociology cannot make you a Social work specialist.

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


Last time I checked parents shelled out on average of $30k annually to send their children to study in the prestigious universities of this world a course you questionably deemed irrelevant.

I quiet believe this may be applicable to Nigeria as its economy is on its knees thereby limiting opportunities.

In the US and other developed countries , sociology, though not as in-demand as IT and engineering courses , is actually a very good field of study.

Abba Kyari studied sociology.

He was:

MD of UBA
Director in Unilever and ExxonMobil
Chief of Staff to a President.

So we can categorically say "in Nigeria what you study doesn't determine where you will work"

I think we need to educate this young undergraduates, what Life after school feels like. op you should be asking yourself which good skill I can learn that will fetch me good money. life after school is tough. even with agood course or not. by the way there's no good or bad course. Your connection, your skill and maybe a little bit of your grade. is the only thing that can guarantee survival after school.

It's one of those courses that adds nothing to the economy. Except you are doing it as a hobby, there are better ways to spend 4 precious years of your life.
In today's world, you need to be smart in choosing a career path.
University is both expensive in terms of time and money so don't just pick a course for the sake of getting a degree.

Sighs...SMH
No Line of profession that is not worthwhile or profiting what is always the missing link is the ability to monetize your knowledge , training or Skills acquired.....
Howbeit ill always tell youths to make sure they do self discovery before taking up a course to study in higher institutions.
In another news make sure you are earning online if you have access to internet and online skill sets/passion.

I was about telling you same, you can work in a ministry as a social worker...the pay is very high compare to an administrative officer a social worker salary is huge, the only disadvantage is that unlike the admin officer that can be posted to different ministry at different interval you as a social worker will just be in your ministry until you retire. In some state a social worker with ND certificate receive up to 70 something thousand as salary now ask yourself how much will be the pay of a B.sc holder.

Was about to say the same thing to the OP. I'm a social work graduate.

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

Economics will never be useless.

Dont fool yourself

Quickly change to social work and thank me later!
Social work is a practical discipline closely related to sociology. It is not a “work anywhere” profession like sociology would be described as.
Years back, I was so close to studying sociology but had a change of programme when I researched what social work practice is and the job prospect for them here in Nigeria and in abroad.


One of the easiest ways to travel abroad as a professional is to choose social work. You would be regarded as a highly skilled professional sought after around the developed world.

It's the kind of learning everyone in the country needs to understand the basic concept of society. It has to come first before other fields of learning will make sense
Re: Is Sociology A Nice Course To Study In Nigeria? by saajus: 4:56pm On Apr 02, 2021
Personally, I think Sociology is better than Political Science. I am a Science guy but I love Sociology and Psychology so much. You will be taught a lot of psychology while studying sociology. If you know sociology, psychology very well, and you have a business mindset, you are a goldmine.

Very good course to study. But the Nigeria society downplays its importance. Funny enough one of the things Nigeria needs now are sociologist who will proffer solutions to the unending social problems we have. Just get a good grade like someone adviced up there and you can work anywhere..
Re: Is Sociology A Nice Course To Study In Nigeria? by vioment: 6:15pm On Apr 02, 2021
No course is bad if applied correctly;


Opportunities are there.


The problem is or the problems are, that most Nigerian University educational quality is in the deep negative; And this type of course is a cultist magnet. Them no go take you serious.



Anyway sha good luck in your endeavour. Wish you the best.
Re: Is Sociology A Nice Course To Study In Nigeria? by ceragon123: 6:31pm On Apr 02, 2021
Having studied Sociology and Anthropology, I can tell you one or two things about it.


The problem most of us had with blending with the course is that we were offered after losing out on Law and International relations.

This early enquiry will help you focus on your long walk to a good life.


Sociology as a course is the scientific study of the society and the inter play of relationship and larger social groups. The Keyword is the word scientific.

From the first year, the student has to be conscious of the problems within the society with the aim of providing solutions. This can be done through research into the real problems affecting the society.

A good way to have a nice life is to think of becoming a consultant or a professional counselor. I understand Nigeria and other African countries have been giving pastors the money they are supposed to give to professional but we can't give up because the need is still there.

Make plans from the scratch. It might take 10 or 15 years but it will be worth your time. People will loose fatht in you
