Damn right, poco. However, that does not work for all companies especially multinationals. I got a job with a multinational at 27 and got another one with another multinational a year after. And I didn't have to know anyone in both coys. The 2-1 part is true,though.
pocohantas:
None. Rather I always advise them to graduate with minimum of a 2.1, maximum of 23-24 years. Gives an edge.

Don't mind him. All my friends that studied civil engineering(including my brother) are either working with real estate firms or doing road and building construction contracts. The ones that graduated with a 2,1 are working with oik and gas coys
thornapple:

I wonder why the other guy listed civil engineering then?

I guess those are the only ones that don't car-the auditing firms and banks. Besides, the auditing firms in Nigeria grossly underpay their staff compared to what their counterparts earn abroad.however, for multinational FMCG''s and Oil and gas firms, course of study and grade is even more important than age.
cutesmilez:
Lol. Multinationals like KPMG, Detroit or which?. Most multinationals only care about ur grade first class or 2.1 and ur age. Not ur course of study
Re: What Are Those Courses You Won't Advise Anyone To Study In Nigeria? by smeag0l(m): 12:04am On Jan 07, 2019
This is another generalisation that is a fallacy and is fast gaining acceptance amongst Nigerian youths. I know , at least, a hundred people that have gotten employment with companies where they earn about seven digit salaries without knowing anyone in those companies. All these people has to do was to study some courses in the universities and another thing common to all of them is that none graduated with less than a 2-1. So if you're a student here, please study hard first and get a 2-1 then you have the opportunity of applying for decent jobs

Petroleum engineering is too narrow. There are even more engineers from other disciplines in the oil and gas industry than there are petroleum engineers. But it's still a good course though if I had a child , I'll advise him to study something more broad.

The primary reason for going to school is not to get a job. Educating your mind is.

Even if you think there are no jobs, the opportunity available to a graduate is not available to an uneducated trader in alaba market.

I don't know what drew my attention to this thread maybe cos of the alaba market, but sir I will like to clear your view on 'uneducated trader' .. It still baffles me that some 'educated' people still doesn't know the meaning of education.. Going or passing through a higher institution is not the meaning of education, education is acquiring and gaining knowledge, a young boy from the village comes to learn a particular trade and during his course of apprenticeship he acquires more knowledge and skills in the particular trade which when he becomes a boss of his own he apply the knowledge gain over the years to his business and in no time he grows and become multinational. Come to Alaba market today and see young boys(uneducated traders) raking in millions. Am a trader and educated cheesy

I said 23-24 because, like 2.1, it widens your search. Doesn't restrict you to multinationals.

Got ur point sir. It all boils down to having good grades. My advice is that, no matter the course one is privileged to study in school, one should just strive and make at list a 2.1 grade, or just be good in it. May God help us in this country.

Omo you right...this course has frustrated some many nigerians


Mtcheewww.. you know the worst part? Not only am I studying Biochemistry, I am now doing it in a low-grade school. Imo state University. Am just tired. I am in my final year now. People say I am still young(20), and I can resit for jamb and do medicine at once. As e de be now, that is the best way out o. Coz even in my school, it takes them like 3 to 5 years to clear students for NYSC and then another wahala again waiting for NYSC. I have put two and two together. I'll take my chances in the med school. Make im be as e go be.

Surveying & Geo is a very good course in Nigeria. I think you don't have the idea of how Land surveyors are making it. Maybe you haven't buy a land of your own.
Surveyors are also into Engineering/constructions and other fields.
Go and do ur research very well.
Forget the fool,,,I studied that course and am going for my seal straight up .... if you get your own seal in Nigeria ,my dear you don blow like wizkid

Avoid psychology, political science, and biochemistry. The best course is computer science

Plus learning any of the skills in computer science like web development, graphic design, etc.

It's useless if you have no skill

Archeology,Microbiology,Biochemistry, History, L.I.S. I am regreting choosing what i named the"VIRTUAL MECHATRONICS" ,that is full of unqualified lecturers.

I waited to see History on the list and I finally found it. Most Nigerians don't know what is History and as such, we find ourselves where we are today.

For your information, the Federal Government as at September, 2018 made History compulsory from Primary One to Jss three, and optional in higher classes.
History is compulsory in all western countries at the foundational level.

Every trained Nigerian Army who passed through the NDA compulsory underwent training in Nigeria History and a glimpse of World History, this gave them ample edge over the uninformed civilian.

History is not a course for every body. It is a course for the ruling class and heir apparent.

I rep History. Proudly an Historian. No regrets from day one till now.

Accounting except you wanna be a lecturer reason being that even a medical doctor can work as an accountant all he needs is to pass an ICAN exam, he's good to go; so what's the need of wasting four years studying such course?

Banking/Finance we all know that all you need is to be a graduate with 2.1 graduate at age 24 to 26
Re: What Are Those Courses You Won't Advise Anyone To Study In Nigeria? by joyousever(f): 3:10am On Jan 07, 2019
So because of that people shouldn't acquire university education again? Be informed that no matter the amount of money a non-graduate has,there are certain circles he/she can't break into. Besides,there's always this underlying inferiority complex in them. Open your eyes, this is Nigeria where paper qualification is highly regarded, unlike abroad where your handiwork or hands-on skills count more than your paper qualification. Nothing stops you from acquiring any skills alongside your degree certificate. University education is a status symbol in Nigeria, take it or leave it.
Rindo69:


No difference. The secondary school certificate holder will have at least 4 years more experience by the time you are out of the university.
Secondly, if he is successful enough, he can do a Masters degree. Bet you didn’t know that you do not need a first degree to do a Masters especially if you have work experience. So you come out with your knowledge, while he has real-world experience.

Yes oo,comrade! History rocks, just that those who can't stand its depth find it both boring & challenging. I rep History & International Relations.

Mathematics

I was waiting to see this. I don't know if others have responded to you because I didn't scroll down. I was thinking people have become more informed, perhaps you belong to the previous generation, i.e. you are 55 and above.

Math is one of the very best courses to study these days. Yes, I said it. And I have seen mannnnnnny things in mannnnnnnnny places. Some of the best traders, IT people, investment gurus, etc, have math backgrounds, even in Nigeria.

These days, I tell young and talented people to study math, do well and come back to me...Opportunities brekete brekete
