Anything engineering and anything that deals with human body especially paederician (sorry if the spelling isn't correct)

I guess you meant qualifying as a paediatrician.

There is no such thing as the "salary of a pharmacist". It eventually depends on the area of practice: hospital, industry, retail pharmacy, regulatory affairs, academia and research. Intern pharmacists (before they go on NYSC) should expect to collect between N100,000 and N150,000 monthly. But the money in pharmacy is in the business area of the practice even though you may expect to take anything above N500,000 monthly after few years working with pharmaceutical industries.

What is the salary of a pharmacist?

This is where the failure of the nation starts from. The focus is on what can I take out, irrespective of skill and the need of the society.
Don't focus on your are of interest,passion and your value to the society, be looking for "lucrativity".

Agricultural science would have been very okay but Fulanis herdsmen have occupied the forest and refused to allow Nigerians carry out farming activity. You can see what is happening in Ondo state and other states of this country.

no course is lucrative, read and strive to get good grades to satisfy your conscience and your folks for their investments, read any course you like( for naija we have seen graduates in medicine and other high sounding courses do menial jobs for survival while peeps who study French, linguistics, history etc excelling in big jobs and organizations)...this is not to down grade or look down on any course...success in life depends on myriad factors: the grace and favor of God, connections and ur hustling spirit/energy etc...even if u study Bet9ja and u are good in forecasting u go hammer b4 who go school....

You're right here. About 3 years ago I was into crop farming. I literally had to discontinue when the criminal herdsmen became a real threat. And the option left now is animal breeding, and anything that won't have me going into the forest.

Try agriculture is very very lucrative.
Re: Which Course Is More Lucrative To Study In Nigeria? by Nobody: 3:33pm On Jan 20, 2021
That is impossible. As a pharmacist who is intimately connected to the practice in Nigeria, even with the economic downturn I can boldly tell you that it is impossible. Pharmacists are literally sought out in Nigeria like you would look for snail in the forest in Harmattan. If you are a real pharmacist here I will literally get you job offers within 48 hours in Nigeria! Pharmacists are that scarce.

And only those working part time collect anything below 100k monthly.

Vlain:


I will say computer science cos Ur ability to get job is not dependent on the Nigeria labour market but in the global labour market. U can work remotely for any company in the world right here in Nigeria and get paid in dollar.plus it is estimated that the next millionaire and billionaire in the next 5 years will come from software engineers. Not surprised anyway cos the future is tech and will always remain tech.

Not to discourage U tho. U can study that pharmacy come out with a 1st result and still be roaming nigeria for years just to even secure ordinary 50k job.

I studied architecture, u will be needing connections to hit big contracts after graduation, even when u have the funds, u will still need connections to get that desired contracts. Unlike pharmacy, with 500k to 1m, u can start up your own pharmacy & grow gradually. U don't even need to apply for jobs. Don't even contemplate it, go for pharmacy.

My brother lucrative is individual dependent. What Mr A sees as lucrative might be nonsense to Mr B. For example, Medical related courses might look lucrative but we have lots of medical graduates looking for jobs in the streets. Some even now work in Banks.

Considering the Nigeria reality, I will tell you my 3 courses I feel it's best currently for Nigeria as a career.

1. Agriculture. Any agricultural field course is a bomb. Maybe it's because I'm a poultry farmer I don't know, but if I'm to delve into the reasons why this course is so good, we might not stop reading. One of the reasons this course stand out is that you can easily become your own boss.

2. Any computer related course. To be honest if you don't know this then I don't know what to say to you. The areas where you will be able to fit in when you graduate is quite broad. Now please consider that I'm not looking at how to get a job after graduation but if you can make a career out of what you've studied. There are a lot of courses in this area. I hope you know that.

3. Lastly. Any medical course. If your parents are well loaded you can choose these courses but personally considering the Nigerian reality I see this as a waste. The reason I included this is that after graduation you can easily relocate to another country. Countries like UK, Australia, Canada will like to have you when you graduate.

Doctors are poor people. And this is coming from a medical student.

If you're into tech, programming anyday anytime. Best part is you don't even need to go to school. All you need is passion, perseverance, an analytic mind, and zest for the innotivative.

Got those? Grab a computer, head online and burn through all the tutorials you can find. Doesn't matter which language or whatever. Start learning and eventually you'll settle with the tools that suite you best.

Pharmacy

It is difficult to know if by lucrative you mean the profession that brings in good salary on the average. And if you also factor in the ease of getting a job postgraduation. Between Pharmacy and Architecture cited by you, Pharmacy is clearly the better choice here. But you also need to consider the possibility of you getting an admission to study pharmacy being a very highly competitive course to study at the moment. It is also not so easy to study Pharmacy, it's a course tough as a nail.

Now if you consider the prospects looking at the business dimension; averagely Pharmacy is still supremely better than Architecture in Nigeria.

However, before you make a final choice between the two I will encourage you to interact with practicing pharmacists from different areas of their practice, and practicing architects. Feel free to ask questions, you are about making a life-long decision and there are simply no questions too stupid to ask.

I wish you good luck, and if you eventually choose to study pharmacy and you successfully do so, I am going to be glad to welcome you to the honorable club.

Now, whichever you eventually choose between the two make sure you develop an IT skill. I will recommend Python programming. IT is both the currency of the present and of the foreseeable future. I am into programming too and the money I have made from working in IT-like area is more than 10 to 50 times the total amount I have made from traditional practice as a pharmacist.

Don't waste your time or Your life, sign up for Udemy and use 3,500 to pay for courses as in below

Just go and learn Devops and Cloud computing - pay attention to coding, Javascript and Python

AWS and Azure as Cloud platforms
Javascript and Python as Coding languages to learn

Sabi all the above in depth and you'll thank me in the future

Also, endeavour to look for ways to japa, Nigeria no fit help

You go make money wey be say your Papa no go fit do family meeting without you

grin


@sultanM this is the perfect advice.

The future is Tech and udemy has everything you need to learn the skills to excel in your chosen field.

In addition, if you don't like programming, learn(via udemy and YouTube) 2d animation, motion graphics, games Interactivity and if you must go to the Nigeria university, choose Futa and apply for Bsc cybersecurity.

Do any of this options and your future is secured.

Pharmacy is good , with architecture, you need mad connections. My advice, with the way Naija is going, check job websites and see which jobs are lucrative and the pay range too. Secondly, no matter the course you are studying, don’t be like me, get a side hustle and also make sure you come out with nothing less than a 2:1, I came out with a 2:1 but no hustling skills and you know the rest.

Well with salaries being stagnant and inflation rising, I have had to open my own business.

In summary, chose a course that would make sense if you decide to japa. Most importantly, have a side hustle in school. If it’s to print logos on shirts, please do, grow your customer base and even after you finish school, you’d be your own boss while looking for a job. You can learn barbing or hairdressing skills for survival too
what did you study?

If you are not from a rich or well connected family,it’s better you learn a skill,business,trade or handwork and when you are well established you go back to school or travel out of this country.Dont waste your time,as going to higher institutions in Nigeria have wasted so many brilliant destinies.
