Hello, thanks for taking time out to write this post. You have done something I am considering doing but not sure and I also have another path in mind. The 2 are explained below.

Option 1
Relocating to England to do an accelerated LLB up to LLD in corporate law. I want to know the opportunities available in doing this.

Option 2
On the other hand, I want to come to England as a tourist, overstay and appeal not to return to Nigeria based on my mental and physical health while I focus on building my business in real estate and Amazon.

Option 1 could delay my ability to focus fully on my business, while option 2 allows me to focus fully on my business without any distractions.

Please advise on the path you feel is better.

We are in the 4th Industrial Revolution the skills that are in demand are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related support new technologies such as Bitcoin, Blockchain, AI/ML, IOT, Robotics, Space technologies, Biotechnology, and Solar Battery. We still need business managers and creative people, but a background in STEM is critical.

Some of the best programmers in AI/ML have a background in Art and creative subjects, so I will get on my bike and start learning how to code.

So graduates that studied Environmental biology/Zoology for Nigeria, if they are opportuned to travel abroad, they will make it there?

So all this courses like
Parasitology
Entomology
Toxicology
Environmental Biology
Biotechnology
Soil science
Animal science
Molecular biology and genetics
Biochemistry and the likes are not entirely useless abi?

Yes, you will have to apply for UK's Msc Psychology (Conversion). This conversion masters is for those like you, who are coming from a different discipline and after which you can now go for your desired specialization. For me, my undergraduate being psychology and already obtained my Graduate membership of the British Psychological Society, am going in directly for my specialization: Msc Clinical Child Psychology.

I haven’t logged on to post for awhile but for the silly generalizations on this topic.

Art courses are relevant and useful in the West just like science courses. It depends on where you are, what you want, what you know and who is guiding you.

I have lived in the UK for 11 years, and Canada for some years. While I studied in the former to PhD level, I did art(law). It has served me well.

I know many who read art courses who are doing well in the financial, legal, healthcare, business and hospitality industries in Canada.

In short, they read these courses from places like Abia, Osun, Ebonyi, Delta, Ogun and Ekiti states.

I know science graduates too.

Through the Canadian NCA process, I have met and continue to interact with many Naija lawyers trying to practice here. Some work in courts, law firms and big professional services firms like PWC, Deloitte, Denton...while writing their licensing exams.

The licensing exams that Naija lawyers write are also written by American, British and Australian lawyers who want to practice law in Canada. It’s not peculiar to Naija lawyers.

Naija and other African doctors even face greater and tougher pathways to getting licensed here.

Engineers, nurses and teachers from across the world face licensing requirements and demands here too. Reason?

...Traditional professions are elitist and regulated to ensure credibility, control and compliance, and standardization.

In Canada, the UK, the US and co, all immigrants go through processes and seasons to settle in. Reason? We were not born here, didn’t study here and couldn’t have built the organic network for easy ascension.

It takes time to study, graduate and work in Naija where we were born and raised. It’s not abnormal and it is expected to take same, if not longer time, away from home in societies that are many decades, if not centuries, ahead of ours.

Over 30,000 Nigerians moved to Canada since 2015...The opportunities and areas of accomplishments and struggles are diverse across science and the arts.

Guys, do your research before you generalize.Stop listening to single and half stories of people who are determined to stay in their comfort zones on the sidelines of these societies.

I can speak confidently about the UK and Canada. Ask questions, if you have.

Activist001:
Most art degrees are pretty much useless when compared to STEM courses. They don't produce anything that brings money or jobs.

This is me being honest here.

chidaddy1198:
well said. I am highly devastated that I didn't do anything called sciences, IT and engineering related because this are real skill that has provided solutions to the word. The art courses this days have being fully taken over by tech.
in fact, advise to my self and to may be others willing not to repeat same mistake is to go learn or train there wards in science related skills, IT and engineering.
skill relevant to me are mathematics, statistics, excel, engineering and anything IT related call it programming app development, just name what do I really know?

Thanks xoxo Bro but the issue is I might not be doing mind at the UK I've only got link in Canada n Australia

Plus people say it's a lil hard moving from a Faculty like renewable natural resources to Social science (Psychology) so I was actually thinking of getting a second Bsc degree in Psychology tho it looks like time wasting another 4years esp in this part of the world where ASUU n FG might still delay you. I just hope switching is quite easy like you said without doing PGD or something

it is the favour and mercy of God that play out not your course of study.

Bodyodour:
Why is it only science related courses that is mostly discussed on nairaland travel section ? Is it that art courses are useless? We art graduates also want to travel abroad too. You guys should try and discuss art courses lucrative abroad,please. Not every time engineering, medicine and IT.

In fact, I think in the sciences, the medical science have even greater job prospects than the maths and engineering specialities.

To even immigrate with an engineering background this days, your first degree must be exceptional.
First class or 2:1 bigger than 4.0.

Medical sciences need far more people compared to the Engineering and the maths and so the academic requirements are not as great.

Infact, an averagely gifted nurse in Nigeria has a better job prospect in Canada than an Engineer with first class in Ñigeria.
