Do social work oooo. It's a critical skill in every western world it could help you japa easy for pol science who is your political Godfather

social work = jack-a and work
political science = join PDAPC and loot

DeLaRue:
A'Social Work' degree from Nigeria will not get you a job in that field abroad.

But it will give you an edge over others if you decide to apply to a University abroad for your postgraduate studies, especially UK and Canada.

I have a lot of applicants here for Social Work msc, a lot of them have been rejected(As expected) because they don't have an undergraduate cert in that field or at least any related field, neither do they have the work experience.

Social work.... Abroad go dey find you

I applied for political science in unilorin during 2022 Utme but i was transferred to social work early this month.(it was due to their slow calendar and the strike)
i felt bad because social work sound lesser than political science. so my question is which one is better between the two?

Go for social work as the level of want of care givers keep increasing.

I've been hearing of this social works lately, please can someone explain to me what is entails and the kind of works dey do.

In Western world every nursery and primary school class have a social worker that monitors the well-being of children. If they found out you are negligent in your duty as parent they collect the child from you. Moreso they inspect many household to know if the environment they live is conducive for the well being of the children. They also go to every care home to ensure its safe for the people you are caring for and no any form of abuse in the care home to service users. Many things they do and they are always short of staffs

Thanks for sharing

Having a clear idea of what you want in a career can help you make a better choice

There is more to a career than how it sounds

All the best

Everyone wants to go to school, but most of them don’t look at the job market before deciding what course to study in college.

You can study any course if you know someone who will help you land a job after graduation, but if not, you need to stay away from courses like public administration, library science, political science, etc.

Social work is a good profession abroad. Political science is not good in Nigeria because most political science graduates are in private schools teaching subjects like government while making less than 30k a month.

Political science and public administration graduates are the majority in the unemployment market today in Nigeria.

Please ignore those advising you it will be lucrative in Tokyo, Australia, and Peru etc

It is not a good thing to say, but if I was going to University in 2023, I will not choose 'political science' or 'social work.'

You need to study a subject that will give you a good chance of securing a job when you graduate.

If I was in your shoes, I would rather spend my next few years like this:

1. Learn furniture making at a good company for 2 years or however long it takes to become competent.

2. As that is going on, I will register with Open University and study a course. If I absolutely want political science, then I will study it there.

You will graduate with a degree at the same time as your mates who attend a regular university, but you will already be making money 2 - 3 years before them.

Boss, this is a strong food for thought. It needs to be posted everywhere

in Nigeria and oversees, social work is better than political science. We laughed at them in 2007 at UNN because they were just 4.. we realized upon graduation that WHO, UN ,and NGOs are hot cakes for them and even if you choose to go out, u go still enjoy..That putting u in social work is blessing in disguise.

Good point, but our youths don’t think this way.

What income Will any generate?
Don't waste your years & your life?
Acquire some skills!
Learn about passive income generation & do it.

hmmm it is getting clearer... Non government organisation like unicef bah?

Yes but know that INGOs like the aforementioned are competitive to get a job/placement.

What do people do with political science degrees? Social work is way better

Neither of those degrees are worth investing in if your plan is to gain employment with the certificate. A university education is usually more than just gaining employment but if the certificate is the only thing you are thinking of, please find a degree that has a higher demand in the market

You're partially right. A degree in Social Work in Nigeria will require you to do a Postgraduate course in Social Work, in order to get registered and practice it here in the UK.

However, it's a lucrative career as demand is very high for it here.

My wife is a Social Worker/Nurse, but she prefers the Social Work career path.

Does the RN in your name a short form
for Registered Nurse !? And yes , social work is far better.

A blessing in disguise. Social workers have much better job opportunities compared to Political scientists especially in the abroad.

None...

Do something more challenging and more tech related

Lungdick:
Social work in the long run. That's if you plan to migrate to countries like australia, canada, uk, e.t.c
