I have a son your age, so I can talk like a 'mother' to you as well! Do what you want to do. Yes, law is an excellent degree & profession to follow. Many of my family have followed that path. It gives you options not only in Nigeria but all around the world. If you were your age now and had NO direction in your life, if I was your parent I would push you to do law. BUT, you seem like you ALREADY have a great and successful career and things you are more passionate about. So you are not just laying about, doing nothing, wasting time. You are already successful, already on a good path. So there is no point in the parents trying to push you off this path. It is already going well. Keep going, in your direction !!! BEST OF LUCK to you. 1 Like |

TimoWerner: I was actually forced to put law on my writing of jamb, and today I am glad I was forced. Go ahead for the law study, you will not regret. You will find the course interesting as you progress the echelon. Plus, you will develop a lot of boldness; and knowing your rights. If it pleases you, go ahead with the law study. Even some medical doctors, and other professionals, come back to study law. 2 Likes |

I'm highly disappointed in you, how will you be working in court and you want to study something contrary. Do you know the numbers of graduates out there without job? But with law degree you can achieve alot without stress. Imagine going into a profession without any help/connection in this era of economy, 80% of people that are unemployed didn't have ladder to success even after studying there dream course. In fact the passion will vanish after years of NYSC and still no where to manage 1 Like 1 Share |

Most times parents are right. My parents wanted me to study Computer Science cause I was so good at computer, but I chose law due to influence from my family members both at the bar and bench.. I am enjoying the practice now but I know if I had followed my parents advice to study something Computer based, I would have been at a very great point in my career compared to where i am now as a lawyer. 2 Likes |

TimoWerner: No problem bro. Gone are the days when any degree has respect and a job is there waiting. Law is a regulated profession both locally and internationally. Only a regulated degree has any value today. When you study Law you are guaranteed a job as a Solicitor or Lawyer because Law is a regulated profession. But if a degree is not a regulated degree an employer can employ anyone they like with any kind of degree or without a degree. So please listen to your parents as Law is one of the best regulated professions to study and also you have a good heads up as you are already working in a State High Court. |

safarigirl: You are wrong Computer Science is good but as it is not regulated like Law means most employers have no respect for a degree in Computer Science, they would rather hire someone without a degree in computer Science or a self taught and train that person instead of hiring and training someone with a degree in Computer Science. I know this because this is my area of study. Have a look online for jobs in software programming and see for yourself that many employers have not regard for a degree in Computer Science as it is not regulated like Law. Show me where an employer is looking for a Lawyer without a Law degree anywhere in Nigeria or overseas? |

ThePlainTruth:This is the plain truth. I went for a software developer interview with a guy with a CS degree I have no degree in CS but cuz I had more skills than the guy he was jettisoned and I was favoured. |
Re: Help: My Family Wants Me To Study Law But I Don't Want To by Nobody: 2:01pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
Maj196: The plain truth is that as the hiring manager does an not have a Computer Science degree, the hiring manager has no idea that an applicant with a Computer Science degree understands the fundamentals but may not have experience with a specific tool a company uses and by just focusing on a specific tool, they’ve potentially weeded out a strong candidate with a Computer Science degree that can quickly come up to speed. [Added] This is the problem with degrees that are not regulated like Law. If this was an interview for a Lawyer or Solicitor there is no way you would have been invited for an interview without a degree in Law. |

ThePlainTruth: You can at least, get a job with computer science anywhere in the world, the certifications are basically same in most countries. If you leave Nigeria and enter Seme, your law degree cannot do anything if you don't go to law school in those other countries. So, a certified Nigerian lawyer and a computer science graduate will probably end up in law school together, in some countries. How about starting up a practice? You think you can just start up a practice in Nigeria because you have a degree? How many people on the average, are looking for lawyers, in this country? If you leave Lagos and Abuja, law practice is on life support in most parts of the country, that's why you'll see someone paying a lawyer 20k per month, you can make four times that amount, from building a website as a computer scientist. Most lawyers aren't even practicing, and when you compare the amount of money that goes into getting a law degree, you will really understand the tragedy of where law as a profession, has found itself in this country. It is not what it used to be, like most other things in this country. Imagine spending over a million naira to get an education, only for you to come out and be getting priced 20k, how do you explain the money that went into your education? In fact ehn, if you want to talk about professional jobs that can even help you overseas, you mention anything under STEM or Education, how many times have you seen any country abroad advertising for lawyers? Nobody dey find law graduates abroad. In fact, make I stop dey talk this thing, because the thought of it is annoying. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

safarigirl: Nowadays primary school kids can create a website. Programming jobs all over the world are dominated by those without a degree in Computer Science because it's not regulated like Law or the other regulated professions. How would you feel having a degree in Computer Science and it is some with only secondary school education or someone without a degree in Computer Science that is interviewing you for a programming job and you will have to report and work under such a person if you are lucky to get the job, then you will face a lot of bias from such a person as they will force you to leave the job. This will never happen if you have a Law degree and you are applying for a job in Law or working as a Lawyer or Solicitor. The assumption most people have is that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. |

sophy17: Law as a second degree is good, at least you had a first and I'm sure it was instrumental in the money you are currently making from law. I don't know a lot of people practicing the law to begin with, even less making any money from it, especially if there is no foundation. The future is very discouraging for many. The likes of you are very few, in comparison to those who have diversified into other career paths. |

You can obtain Slovenian citizenship with the consultation of law company and take advantage of the educational opportunities available in the EU countries. Immigrantinlaw company reviews are highly positive and they have a team of certified immigration specialists, providing assistance with acquiring citizenship of Slovenia and the necessary documents for living in the EU. The company offers support with the required documentation, legal advice on passport registration procedures, and representation before the relevant authorities.
