Funkybabee:


infact your higher institutions studies is waste

Xavi2019:

According to you, Political Science adds no value to human developmental existence....
I wonder where you got your warped sense of reasoning from, sir.

lilwetdick:


i will have to agree with the op

most people who had an impact to human society are not political scientist rather doctors, engineers and other technical fields

lilwetdick:


i think the aim of higher institutions is to impact knowledge and bring innovation to society but if is not doing that it is a waste.

Universities nowadays are center of brainwashing rather than education.

So, going by your reasoning they should just scrap other fields and leave just doctors, engineers and the "other technical fields" then, since police scientists and other fields not in the sciences haven't had any impact on human society.
I wonder what the likes of Karl Deutsch, David Easton, Samuel P. Huntington, Harold Lasswell, Nicholo Machiavelli, Robert Dahl and the likes did since you say Political Scientists didn't have any impact on human society.
Yes the impact of these so-called professions you mentioned are more visibly felt in the society, but that's not enough reason to look down in other fields under the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
If you say people who specialise in understanding the mechanism and constitutional systems of modern government, and principles of government, as we as the domestic and foreign policies of the nations aren't making any impact on human society, then I wonder why you feel so, since they have as much impact as those fields you mention.
A doctor could save one life, a bad policy would affect millions.
Think about that.
My point - Don't look down on any profession/field they are important in their own special way, be it a Pharmacist or Horticulturist.





GOOD POINT BRO, MY TAKE ON THIS ARGUMENT IS THAT..... ALL FIELD OF STUDY IRREGARDLESS OF WHERE & MODE OF STUDY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDER IRRELEVANT. OW CAN A PERSON IN HIS RIGHT SENSE CLAIMED OTHER FIELDS OF STUDY ARE NOT WORTHY EXCEPT SCIENCE.
IF ANYONE HAS THE PRIVILEGE TO STUDY ABROAD HE/SHE SHOULD PLS TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY, ITS NOT ADVISABLE TO WASTE UR PRECIOUS TIME & RESOURCES IN A COUNTRY THAT CANT PROVIDE ITS CITIZEN COMMON BASIC AMENITIES OR A COUNTRY WHERE LECTURERS WILL BE BOASTING NO STUDENT WILL EVER SCORE 100% OF MARK IN HIS COURSE NOR A COUNTRY THAT DOESN'T HAVE A FUTURE LIKE OUR THEIR NIGERIA EXCEPT IF U ARE A POLITICIAN.

Aphroditee:
The reason being when you study in Nigeria, its like running against the wind just like an athlete training with all kind of obstacles. And during the main event when he have to run without those obstacles, he is unstoppable. That is how it is. The way we live our lives here is so hard and we haven't at all made life easy for ourselves with our educational system.
Im presently an undergraduate in one of the best school in the country. I go through some overwhelming stress to receive lectures and the curriculum is so bulky and full of irrelevant things that i don't even need. Now imagine me going to study abroad where everything they've done is making their life easy and there is high rate of specialisation. I dont have to wait for PHCN to bring light before i read, there is almost free WiFi to help with stuffs online. There is intense practical and good grading system.

You haven't answered his question, did you read the post?


I think people study irrelevant courses abroad because they want to use the study visa for work as opposed to using it to obtain a career. If you read through posts on student focused threads, you'll notice that many students are more concerned about work than the actual course. It seems like studying any course gives them the license to work and make a few bucks, this is why they don't seem to care what courses they opt for

thebosstrevor:


it has no value, even politicians do not need to study political science to become 1

thebosstrevor:
I have noticed the amount of Nigerians traveling abroad to study irrelevant courses then think when they come back, they will be given the jobs.

why do you waste your money and energy studying philosophy, counseling, English in a non-English speaking country, sociology, political science accounting, marketing, PR, history, linguistics, marriage counseling, insurance, sport science, conflict management and all sort of irrelevant courses abroad, all these courses won't put food on your table whether home or abroad, instead of wasting your money studying those courses abroad, you can as well study those courses in Nigeria for cheap.

if you are not studying medicine or STEM subjects abroad (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) pls stop wasting your money and time.

Guys, what is your take?
