Go for pharmacy. You can be self employed and be an employer if you can't find a job. Though there are jobs out there for pharmacy. Remove architecture from your mind. There are other courses that can do what an architect can do such as building engineering and civil engineering both in the uni and poly. You can see that the area is flooded. Again you will always depend on people unlike pharmacy where people will always depend on you. Good luck as you make your choice.

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.

lucky4west:
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....

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.

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.

Mtschewwww:


Who told you there is no future in it. There is no job without a future. I have friends who studied the course and they are doing excellently well.
Microbiology is not as lucrative like Pharmacy but funnily they have vast opportunities to work in more firms or industries even without connection or godfatherism than pharmacy.

A microbiologist can work in a hospital, laboratory, research institute, pharmaceutical companies, agencies like Ncdc, Naca, Ndlea, Ministry of health or any health sector..etc, for those that are specialised under the medical aspect of Microbiology.

We have the food microbiologist that can work in companies such as Nigeria breweries, Guiness, agricultural firms, nafdac, standard organisation of Nigeria, etc, even in borders and seaports (customs, Port Heath authority), anywhere where food, drink, toiletries or drugs is being produced or processed, etc.

There is also the environmental microbiologist that works in oil, gas and petroleum companies. These ones controls detect and monitors oil spillage in the environment. Many work with govt agencies such as Nesrea, nosdra, etc.
Microbiologists are in most companies in and outside the shore of the country because of the diversity of their course. So pls do not say there is no future in it. Every course has a future.

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so sophisticated

Aside universities courses
Other skill courses are very lucrative
E.g
1.) The Igbo (Eastern) Apprentice system
Is lucrative (those guys they hit am big from there)
2.) Learning a bombing Skill (doesn't even requires much time)
