SOCIOLOGY & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS relevant as well
You are certainly not getting a skilled worker visa with those degrees.

Remove Economics from that list. Most economics graduate end up in other disciplines/careers such as accounting, sales, marketing, business development and teaching.

I thought this thread was about Nigeria. Economics do have some prospects in the UK. But Accounting is far better in terms of job opportunity and growth. You will need a master's and/or PhD in economics to get any meaningful job. Else you will have to enter another discipline/career.
They will misled people


Je left nursing, he left Engineering, building and construction related job de mention economics

Marine engineering job is lucrative in the UK.... But do you have up to 60 million to foot the bills with the certifications that comes after?

Passing the Certificate of competency written and Oral examination is not a small task.

But at the end is rewarding cheesy

A Chief Engineer with UK Class 1 COC earns up to 18 million Naira a month on a offshore vessel

You can even choose to work in UK and live in Nigeria during your time off, I have lot of colleagues like that.
(Their flight and visa is arranged by the company)

Which degrees outlined here go pay you €320 per day?

Some companies pay as high as €500 per day according to the contract and your experience

You don't know what economics entails, that's why you find it weird that they work in business and accounting fields. Economics covers all those professions you listed, it's a super discipline that cuts across various sectors...

An economist by virtue of the content of his degree can work as an accountant, business analyst, salesman and various fields in finance they're all related to the degree...

Check a typical economics degree curriculum and see the courses they take, apart from micro/macroeconomics, most of their courses are statistics, business management, finance and accounting.

I think Dentistry should take number one position here. UK is greatly deficient of dentists currently.

Medicine was given number one, so you should know that dentists are automatically part of that, since they're all doctors...

I'm pretty sure there's more to her qualifications than just Politics and International Relations.
Exactly.. there are some finance firms that recruit from any discipline at entry level and then train them.. that was the situation in this case

I'm happy for you. I believe most architects are very rich and wealthy people.
Some are very wealthy, some are rich, some are just comfortable. But I assure you, no architect who understands architecture begs for food or for work....

You do realize that accounting is a professional discipline, right? Anyone could learn the accounting craft and be called an accountant but you do need a recognised charter to be a professional accountant. So, an economist without such charter cannot be a professional accountant. That said, economics does not cover accounting. Maybe the financial parts of it, but not the whole field. I admire economists though

You see courses in the construction industry, don't joke with them.
I studied architecture for example and I assure you that there is no architecture graduate who understands architecture that is without a job. Have you ever seen an architecture graduate riding keke or Uber after graduation? Absolutely not.
The prospect too is so mad that you can be self employed and still do so well. I worked for two firms after school for like a little over a year and have been on my own ever since and doing so well.
You are saying fact...

My late father inlaw was a town planner, one of his son is a surveyor, one civil engineer...

Omo, you see these guys before they finished school, they are millionaire...

Nobody is trying to disrespect accounting here, but just like IT, it's one of those fields where you don't actually need a degree to be called a professional.

All things being equal, there is no field outside of accounting/finance that's closer to accounting than economics. It's just a versatile field and equips you to function in various career fields.

Mathematics and Statistics

Very relevant

Stop going to the UK. Consider other countries like Australia, US, Canada etc.

There is a lot more to gain in the aforementioned countries in terms of benefits.

That was before our Fathers were born!!

that trend was on but by mid-eighties the game changed ...... we have more English language graduates in IT more that those who studied Computer Scient currently

Many lawyers dont have case to handle, there are more 'charge and bail' legal practitioners in that circle ..... the average lawyer in most chambers earn the salary of a Clerk

In these days of supplements and telemedicine, Doctors have to juggle PP with employment to make ends meet //////

that your 5 best professions are mere name but lame jobs await them ..... IT and financial literacy are the new currency with which everyone is doing business right now
