lol did u hear urself? accountants stop at cashier? lmao, btw I'm an economist

You can get a combination of the three, bsc in econs, mba and a professional accounting degree(ACCA, Ican)

None. A graduate in yoruba studies that knows people at the top can get jobs in those fields easily....

CONNECT is d KOKO. YORUBA sef dey compete wit dese courses in this country of ours.

Accounting no doubt

Accounting is miles ahead. Even Economics, Business admin and graduates of other courses still find their way to the Accounting profession through ICAN and Acca.

Pls someone should talk about financial management, how relevant is d course in Nigeria?

You just insulted a babalawo be careful. A Yoruba graduate can call out a rabbit in front of you.... They're sought after even as Fulbright scholars

Your ambition in life is?

I'll love to meet you..

since u said contemporary Nigeria, I'll go with accounting because they are easily employed and needed in all organizations especially the chartered accountants not to say that pple from other disciplines cant become chartered too but since "everyone" in the social/mgt sci line (plus other field i.e engineering) are switching to accounting, it goes to show that accounting is more relevant in this present day Nigeria. Also accounting firms pay well too such as Pwc, kmpg, deloitte, E$Y, etc. P.S I'm an Economist and i can argue all day for economics but lets just state facts.

Between Accounting, Economics and Bus. Adm. which do you think is more lucrative and has more job opportunities in contemporary and futuristic Nigeria?

Does it matter in this country? Was your former president not a zoologist? (abi na botany) I stand to be corrected.

Just make sure you collect the certificate first first. That's the most important aspect. Even though you might not use it in 9ja.

As an economist you should know that accounting can be very boring as it's usually routine

Its economics, cos an economist has d knowledge of both accountin n biz admin.

Economics for sure...... An accountant need Ican in order to go up the ladder but an economists alone is enough coupled with ican.... u've killed Account Graduates already...Business Admin is good but just there jare

Economics of course. Broadens your horizon.

It gives you edge. If you have a degree in Economics and ICAN certified you are at par, or even above, with someone who studied Accounting.

An economist can be an accountant with relevant certifications. No matter the number of certifications an Accountant/Business Admin. can never become an economist except he go back to school.

Accounting if you want to be a professional fast.
Economics is wide the range is unpredictable... Stockbroker Health economics, Petroleum economics, Trade economics, International finance, production economics, Agric economics,
If you're aiming to be an entrepreneur economics is good for you....
Business admin is an ashawo course basically studied by people who are not too sound upstairs.... IMO. And most are managers not entrepreneurs.... And almost every idle hand is always thinking of business administration as a course. Coupled with the fact that if you ever get idle you can do an MBA in it. Unless you intend attending LBS Pan African University it's a waste of time.

Look at the way you condemned a course just because you think you're a genius and you can do better than they are.. With your brilliance, have you been able to study world and heaven? Smh for you.

#idd, Jonathan dun cuss kasala,
zoologist presido!

NONE............
Ibe Kachukwu is a lawyer.
Fashola is a lawyer

Most of the people you see working in bank, NNPC, SHELL, CHEVRON didn't read any of the above.

@ksudr
The current governor of the central bank Mr Godwin Emeifele was the Group managing director of zenith bank before. he just had Bsc and Msc from banking and finance from UNN.

dejisky:
Accounting, because most Economics and Business Admin graduates are still switched to Accounting through ICAN or ACCA.

Hmm I'm sure after they've finished, they'll still be very much better than the accountants...#TeamEco

And you will liquidate if you have no iota of economics in you.....but the truth is everyone is an economist to a certain level, even kids, day can tell you wen d economy is good or bad

Based on experience, I'd conclude that the most rewarding career would depend on your interests. Pursuing a degree without having intense passion from the onset may lead to frustrations in the end. Here are my thoughts on the courses you mentioned though:

1. A degree in business administration would only make you a generalist, without core skills in a specific business function e.g. Project Management or Supply Chain Management. If you are undecided about what you want to achieve after concluding your studies, this may be a way to go. If you had an epiphany at some point, and deemed it fit to switch careers, it ain't too late..you can pursue a professional accounting accounting designation e.g. ICAN or ACCA and bingo, you're an accountant already.

2. I'm not too sure how beneficial a degree in Economics is in Nigeria today. But hey, if you really have a passion for developing economic models, then go for it. Most of my buddies who studied the course are either working in banks or just switched to accounting through ICAN or ACCA. This is probably one of the underrated courses in naija compared to some other countries.

3. An then Accounting, which I feel offers a decent amount of opportunities in the Nigerian job market, as every organization must have a financial control, financial reporting or at least an accounting unit. For you to reap the full benefits though, obtaining a professional designation is imperative.

Cheers bud!
