10. Mass Communication/
Journalism: Mass Communication will
remain a marketable because not
many Universities do it, but many
institutions need it. The downside is,
journalism is not seen as exclusive
preserve of MassComm graduates, as
graduates of almost any course are
recruited by news outfits. Yet, the
course still stands a decent chance.
9. Law: Maybe the supply is fast
outstripping demand and affecting
pricing, Law has declined in economic
value. However, it remains a Top 10
course. Whether you decide to
practice or go into corporate world, or
you decide to go into allied things like
real estate agency, you still stand a
decent chance of earning decent
income with a Law degree.
8. Nursing/Laboratory
Science: Nurses don’t earn mouth-
watering pay, but they are hardly
jobless. I see Nurses change jobs like
clothes. Hospitals and clinics –
private
and public – are springing up
everyday, and a medium size clinic
needs at least 4 Nurses. Some may
have as much as 20. Same goes with
Lab scientists, although in lower
demand.
7. Mechanical, Electrical & other
related Engineering
courses: Engineering courses
generally sell in the oil and gas
industry. In addition these courses are
also asked for in other major
industries.
6. Economics/Accounting/
Finance: The good thing about
Economics is that it fits into many
roles. I hesitated to include
Accounting
here because Accounting degree
alone
without professional qualifications is
not usually so helpful; however, I
included it because I expect the
accounting graduate to do the needful
of writing professional examinations
after his degree. Even without
professional qualifications, you can
still get a decent job with Accounting
degree only in the many small to
medium scale firms that require the
services of accounting graduates.
Finance is another great course. The
three courses, sometimes alongside
Management and Business
Administration, are usually in hot
demand, although supply still exceed
demand and many graduates of these
courses are still jobless.
5. Computer Science/Computer
Engineering/IT courses: IT
professionals are in hot demand the
world over. Nigeria is not different.
With special IT skills, your chance is
even brighter. The downside is,
anybody can learn IT skills, even if he
doesn’t study computer engineering.
4. Geology: It is also a course that
places you in good position to
penetrate the much-sought-after oil
industry.
3. Chemical/Petroleum
Engineering: These courses have the
potential to fetch you the fattest pay
check after graduation because the
companies that ask for them are those
that pay heavily – the oil companies.
2. Estate Management/Architecture/
Building/Survey/Civil Engineering: A
degree in any of these courses places
you in a good position for self-
employment. Even from school,
Architecture students make money
drawing plans for people. We consider
these courses the second most
marketable courses in Nigeria.
1. Medicine: Medicine may not earn
you N500k per month at entry level,
but it is the course that guarantees
you
job the most. I have never come
across a jobless medical doctor. The
pay may not be as heavy as the
Chemical engineering guy in the IOC,
but you are guaranteed of better-
than-
average income as a doctor. Medicine
is number 1 on our list.
Most importantly, I share the opinion
of this gentleman that it is you, and
hardly your course of study, that
matters in marketing yourself... http:// http://skyreloadz.tk/forum2_theme_110758716.xhtml?tema=56

Yea, saw a pastor looking for job here on NL.. The guy was advertising himself tho, lookin for a church to hire him

Olalan: I think Pharmacy should also be on this list, most pharmacist get jobs almost immediately after school.

Yes pharmacists are easily employed but a vast majority of them are under-employed(glorified sales men and ATM machines for pills in hospitals)

But what happens to theology...hv u ever seen a jobless pastor?

Lol

Law, mass comm?
Okay

nawa oooo dat list is wrong

well researched list, clap for u op.

Maybe we should ask OP where he is posting from because I don't think he is talkng about nigeria. I mean, even seeing medicine on top of the list is enough to know that the list is wrong. OP should try and research and do some analysis before copying and pasting stuffs from some random wannabe blogs.
*walks away*

Naija factor can affect d list anyway
I represent geology, no job yet!
