Oluwatola5: The problem with Nigerians is that they lack the ability to think outside the box. I SMH whenever i tell people my course(Education and English Lang) and the question that pops out of their mouth is ''why were you given that course? Did you actually pick that course?''. Like seriously, the reason why unemployment is rampant is because of over-concentration on just particular courses of study.haha...dear read your post carefully twice and see how you contradict yourself over and over again.....so you who 'thought out of the box' choose education because it is your passion? |

The problem I have with majority here is they probably don't understand the part where I used '....most likely....'. I'm not surprised anyway,it's the Nigerian education system! By their seed you shall know them..... |

I don't think any course is useless,but some courses give a slimmer chance in the labour market compared to others. These courses are mostly imposed on the students as a result of their not passing the cut off for their preferred course. IMO,any course apart from the ones below will most likely be among them. 1. Medicine/Surgery. 2. Engineering. 3. Accounting. 4. Economics. 5. Law. 6. Mass communication/Languages. 7. Agriculture. Jaryeh or wat do you call yourself, so all dis courses you listed here have a wider chance in the labour market, and other courses do not? Wake up? Have you heard of project management tech,information management tech, financial management tech, public health tech, environmental technology, industrial physics, microbiology,dentistry, And which labor market? Do you mean nigerian labor market were one studies biotechnology and work in an insurance firm? Whatever you study dis firms will still train you, thats y a biochemist can work in a bank. |

Re: Useless, cringe-worthy Degrees? by unmask: 1:38pm On Jan 03, 2014 |
there is nothing like a useless course if you went into it willingly....we have been programmed with the mentality that some courses are useless, whereas in developed countries where specialization can be found, you would hardly see an engineer in a bank, neither will you see one doing the job of someone that studied carpentry......would you say those that study handwritting wasted that time? These are people used to catch criminals......so op no course is useless every course has its own use |

The truth is no course is ABSOLUTELY useless,but a course can be RELATIVELY useless.I believe the worthiness of studying a course is a direct function of the purpose of studying the course.Imagine someone,who hopes to end up at the helm of a pharmaceutical company,applying for pharmacy,but ends up being admitted to study transport management.Such a person would know right from the onset transport management is useless to him if he still wants to achieve his purpose of obtaining a university degree.I happen to be an accounting student,but I can tell you accounting is RELATIVELY useless to some people studying it as well. 1 Like |

yes in the western world all course are worth studying, but please studying bsc music or dance in nigeria is not worth it, because even if you are to be self employed i don't think spending 4-5 years of your self in university just to hang a bsc dance degree in your store, workshop is worth the time and money and there are other courses that are practically useless in nigeria because we don't have lab to practice them like anthropology, archeology and forensic science and course like Abuse Studies Gymnastic studies |

mrphysics:Goodluck read Zoology? Agreed but that is not the issue here my brother,the question is "did jonathan became the president because he read Zoology? Hell no. @Op as much as I get your points here,I still think you have presented it in a more mature way.The fact is no knowledge is a waste but truth must be told some courses aren't worth studying in Nigeria because there is low demand for them.Many people study various courses in Nigeria because they think they don't have any choice.Take philosophy for example a cointry like Nigeria has little demand for it when compared to a country like America.I will advise people to use their brain and not only heart when choosing except you aren't money driven like majority of us. 1 Like |

Course of study does nt really matter much after graduation..., as there are many lawyers, pharmacist, dentist, economist, administrators, sociologist etc unemployed. The main issue in our entrepreneural driven age is jst for someone to acquire a university/poly education inorder to broaden his horizon in dealing with contemporary challenges.. All courses are as relevant as every other. |
Re: Useless, cringe-worthy Degrees? by jaryeh(m): 2:37pm On Jan 03, 2014 |
RedBenson: The fact that I'm not yet in school doesn't mean my post does not make sense. You also are not yet a graduate so you do not have any after-school experience,then we are still in the same category considering this discussion! Yes! I did say other things! I also said 'any course apart from the ones listed below will most likely be among them. Read that and digest it then come back here to say whose post is silly! hmmmmm. An undergraduate/graduate for that matter! I can't help laughing out loud. |

fowowe411: Goodluck read Zoology? Agreed but that is not the issue here my brother,the question is "did jonathan became the president because he read Zoology? Hell no.my bro what is the meaning of philosophy? I guess u don't know the meaning and u are typing jagons that philosophy isn't a good course to study Science and mathematics came to existence through philosophy Philosophy is a course that broaden ones mind philosophers are natural enterprenuer In the job prospect for a philosopher there is 92% job prospects for a philosopher in Nigeria.for instance there is no higher institution either coventional ones or non conventional ones that doesn't offer logic and philosophy as a course. who go teach them no be philosophers? that is there 96% job prospect for a philosopher in an educational sector ,a philosopher is also good at researching which is the main aim of philosophers they seek to find knowlege. The likes of aristotle,socrates,charles darwin,plato including all those who invented one thing or the other were philosopher because they think beyond human reasoning. Am a philosopher and I love my course because I know what you don't know about life. 1 Like |
