Those courses need someone who is well grounded in foundational and advanced mathematics. It is not everyone that is like that. As for nursing, it only pays well abroad, especially in the US. Nurses are poorly paid in Nigeria.

.
The courses I listed are normal everyday courses. An average student can run it perfectly, it's just a matter of focus and interest.

Not necessarily. He/she just needs to be focus. One of my younger brothers studied media arts, he finished. During his NYSC, he wrote waec to get science subjects. As I type now, he is in his third year in the University studying Nursing and he is doing very well.

Why are you asking this kind of Hot Starbucks coffee ☕ and croissant 🥐 questions ?

Are you for real sad

What is the essence of equipping industrial relations and HR with ICAN and ICCA?

Repeat your question 1000 times

Wow. This is so brilliant.

But "Artificial intelligent" is not that bad sha. Just that the guy did not input any of his own thinking or brain into it, so that it will come in terms of the present situation.

I use it alot. But i reason along with it, so i can see where I should add my own reality to it.

Exactly. That's why it's easy to identify AI text. Some people are too lazy with it. Other times, they don't even know how to make it fit for purpose.

I will strongly advise you to go and study Cyber Security Project Management, Data Management, Information Systems Analysis, Project Planning or Nursing.
If you need more clarity, please contact me.
I'm not asking you not to study the courses you listed, I'm only advising you to be wise.

Why will anyone study project planning and project management as first?

You should be looking at Marketing and Business Administration.

Marketing can be backed up with the skill of Digital marketing after graduation. The world needs marketers. It can never go out of proportion.

Business Administration can be backed up with the skill of Business Analysis after graduation. The world needs it as well and can never go out of proportion.


I guess you should go for Business Administration because you can find marketing in it.

Be ready to become equipped with the skill of Digital marketing and Business Analysis after school. You will be an asset.

Huh, repeat it again and again

Become a data analyst or business analyst and you’ll be fine.

If you have good IT aptitude, go into AI or Quantum Computing.

You still want to enter university to study that in this AI time? You better learn a good skill.

What's wrong in having a degree. Nothing stops one from learning a skill in addition to having a degree. I don't get some of the not well thought out comments here, though I expected them.

He did Nursing, not data science or cybersecurity management. Nursing does not require basic knowledge of mathematics. Please re-read the comment you quoted.

P.S. Nurses earn poorly in Nigeria.

Mindlog:
Some opted for their MBA as an immigration route not actually for the studies itself and got folks back in Nigeria to do their assignments, graduated and paid an extra £9 000 to get a 5 years care job COS.....the MBA becoming a distant memory.

Really sad, having that huge number of kids out of the school system and a threat to national security.

To what end? This UK japa sounds like bullsh!t to me except one has solid work experiences from Nigeria and attended a good university in the UK.

Don't worry, go ahead and get the degree. Did I say degree is useless? But, those list you made, do your research on them.
