If you are not in the medical field, OYO is your case, just pray. Regardless of what you study, outside the medical field, there is no job out there
😲 People are still traveling through that route.

Where you said the gaming industry is worth $200bn is not actially accurate. Just one gaming company alone is worth $5 trillion as at last week. I stand to ne corrected though.

Nothing futuristic about any of this fields....
Study then in Africa at your own peril
That's because your continent is very much stuck in the dark ages of corruption, ethnicity, and illiteracy.

If you have the opportunity or privilege to relocate abroad, you'll understand how futuristic they are.

This is very bad advise. Lol.

Yes, you can study them in Africa. If you graduate with good grades, you can easily get into graduate schools in the US if you are determined and ambitious.

What this post won't tell you is the sheer amount of time, mental stamina and space, as well as PASSION needed to venture and excel in these fields.

Rushing into such fields without doing your due diligence will lead to waste of funds, time and even more despair.

I have seen people rush into Cybersecurity and even DevOps just out of the sole aim to "land great jobs", and ended up leaving barely midway when they got overwhelmed with the technical demands in every stage.


The truth?!! They are great career areas, but solely for the mentally capable and passionately resilient.


Look for your area of strength, find out how well you can create value there, and grow in it...!


You cannot force a square peg into a round hole.
Kundus to you. Your head get oyel!

Traveling is another problem. Getting a job at your destination is one

Apart from law, business administration, and accountancy, ban your children from studying every other course that is not pure science and technology.

True that.

Nanotechnology can be used for a vast array of solutions from agriculture to medicine, to security (including eliminating the insidious Islamist terror groups and more under special covert operations that I wouldn't want to reveal fully here). Nigeria had to wake up to save cost on counter insurgency and security matters.

Getting those jobs will never be easy.

If you intend to go abroad to study with the best chance of landing a job, just focus on:

1. Nursing
2. Support Worker
3. Human and Social Services
4. Mental health
5. Psychology and Psychotherapy
6. Early Childhood Education
7. Mathematical Science
8. Health Care Support Roles

All those big courses mentioned by the OP are quite saturated and competitive. Lots of immigrants that studied "fancy " and "big" courses are still job hunting while those that studied simple health and allied courses have gotten themselves something. Don't be deceived by fancy courses. Focus on courses that the Services are required by people, on a larger scale

Always threads about how to Japa, but none about how to help develop and grow this country. Slåve mentality at it's finest…

All courses are futuristic, the best is one's skill.
Re: 5 Futuristic Courses That Can Land You High-paying Jobs Abroad by DeLaRue: 4:30am On Nov 01, 2025
That list is highly questionable.

1) Biomedical engineering - big sounding name, but limited job opportunities. Sounds like one of those courses that boxes you into a corner in the job market. If you cant get a job in that specific field, you are done. Better to study mechanical engineering.

2) Why on earth would someone go to university to study game development in 2025? That person is heading for unemployment.

3) Don't waste your time spending 4 years studying cyber security at a university. Go for computer science or engineering and then do certifications in cyber security.

Also be weary of any course that is classified as 'good for the future'. That's because nobody knows the future. Things change so fast.

I agree with most part of your assertions, but mechanical engineering is in no way related to biomedical engineering. Most of the medical devices and facilities you see in hospitals and other medical settings are manufactured by biomedical engineers, this is outside the scope of mechanical engineering.

Like I said there's nothing futuristic about those courses because futuristic is usually used to describe something so new and unfamiliar that it looks like it could come from the future....
And none mentioned fit the description... You can say there are a bit Niche, yes 😉
And my advice not to study the mentioned fields in the continent has more to do with infrastructural deficit and nothing to do with [s]corruption, ethnicity, and illiteracy.
