Consequent upon this thread;https://www.nairaland.com/3528116/god-given-me-admission-after,were i gave testimony about how God gave me admission after many years.
Now the problem is that the course that i applied for is Sociology which i reluctantly choosed because Public Admin. Was my desired course but because most of my diploma course mates applied for it,my fear was that i will not stand a chance of getting admission because of my average CGPA.Now have read so many negative comments about Sociology here on NL an other forums pertaining to career path and the chance of gaining employment here in Nigeria because according to many people who said that the course is not valued in Nigeria,so i dont know if its possible to change the course to Pub. Admin and i have already printed my jamb Admission letter. Or should i accept my fate and move on?.Mbok advice me because i dont want to make a mistake that i will regret for the rest of my life.

The only thing I'm seeing here is a concern of not being able to get a job later?

If you were me, you wouldn't have spent 8 good yrs trying to get into the university.

You know why? I don't believe in going to the university so that I can get a job at the end. For me, that's just too risky!

I'm afraid you can't follow my advice because my path is tough, I seem to operate on the reverse gear.

Well, I can't tell you to quit the university since you are already in. I'm not an expert on university matters but is like it is possible to change course at level 2. A litle Google search will do. Search for the term: how to change a university course in Nigeria?

tosyne2much:

May God bless you oooo my brother... Does school even guarantee anything these days? When you're not ready to be productive then hunger is always there to whip your ass

The truth of the matter is that how long will you continue to live your life to please people? Bro, you will always continue to have problems in life if all you do is seek people's validation on what to do with your life. It does not apply to education alone but other areas of life.

Few days ago, myself and other well wishers jubilated with you on your admission, and today you're crying fowl that people said the course is not lucrative.. I mean what's your business with that? Are youbsute you truly spent 8 years at home? Ooooh you want to study a course that will make the society prostrate to you each time you pass abi?

Though, I'm not an advocate of mediocrity but we have people who study ridiculous courses in universities yet they're employers of labour. We all can't study medicine, law or accountability before we make it in line nah. Be diligent and hardworking in anything you're doing and the sky will be your starting.

We wey don almost graduate from school are looking for ways to venture ure into something that will prevent us from roaming the street for job hunting after school while you're here bothering your life about people perception about your course

If you really want to change because you feel you want to, FINE!! But change because of people's perception towards the course is foolishness in my own opinion

Thank you very much for the well articulated response.i did diploma in pub Admin because good in government related courses and i thought that sociology could be a sister course tn pub admin.but when i digged deep it seem the reverse is the case. I am just scared if i will be able to perform well thr.

Its quite unfortunate, my response wouldn't do much good because i didn't see this mention until today.

I wouldn't fail to still say that you'd have to believe in yourself to grow and love the course, it's never easy but a try is worth it. People will always try to rubbish your course. Years ago my brother discouraged i studied Computer Science that it is not a big market. Today CS is a hot course, Thank God i stucked to my course. And I totally agree with Tosyne2much advice
