Studying Industrial physics in Nigeria was not a good option at all. I wish I did computer science. Still struggling to foot my bills since 2013 I graduated till now.

Duke007:
It's been almost two decade since my graduation as an engineer. l have acquired a master's degree and certification. l have worked as an engineer, operations manager & sales manager.

l have not acheived the financial buoyancy l desired. l still struggle to pay my bills. l beleive l would have fared better as a lawyer or an accountant.
What's your opinion on this?

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
COMPUTER SCIENCE? You are not serious.

Never. Only went to university to have a degree. Always wanted to be a writer and that's what I am. I think the degree also helped me cope with long form content too.

Zoology in most schools now are combined with environmental science making it a bit worth while. Some of them study it as parasitology which I don't know it's lucrativeness in Nigeria.
DontBullshitMe:
The courses worth studying in Nigeria are ;

Medicine and Surgery
Elect/Elect Engineering
Mech Engr
Computer Science
Civil Engineering
Pharmacy
Nursing

And maybe Law

In short ; Professional courses and courses that are practicable in an average society.



Studying a non professional course and a non - STEM based course is almost a sure way to poverty if your parents are not well connected. Imagine a guy with struggling parents studying Zoology, Botany, Linguistics, Classics, History, Philosophy etc. Nah big suffer ooh.

This is not true. I personally know a multi-millionaire who studied Fine Arts at a Nigerian University. He has worked with many multinationals. All I will say is be very good at any course you study.

You're right to some extent but not totally agree with the listed courses. There are many courses you can study at naija University and you will stand out among other graduates when hunting for a job.
What happens to food-related courses like food science, food tech et al. But people prefer going for big-name courses that will take them nowhere.

Food science is underrated in Nigeria. Food business is the second biggest business in Nigeria

Biochem, one of the hard course in our University system but outside the university wall it total rubbish course. Don't waste your time reading that rubbish course, Nigeria have no use for that course. I started coding after realizing that no way forward with that course even after reading hard and graduating with a good result

Lol. It's not a rubbish course just that there are few industries in Nigeria. They can't take all the Biochemist graduates.

You should have considered that before choosing your course.
