Police was a very respectable profession.
It accorded one with immediate respect and fear..
That was in the 60s and 70s..
They started losing their respect in the mid 80s when they started colluding with armed robbers and drug pushers ..after that it became s steep slippery slope downwards .
Now they're scorned, derided, insulted and hated across the country.

I'm a military personnel. All you listed are true. In fact, the salary is poor compared to the risk we are taking on a daily basis.

You are so wrong.
Teaching use to be a joke but now it's a big deal.
I have friends who are teachers and they earn around 700k to 800k a month form their main jobs.
They also do private lessons where they charge between 10k - 20k per hour.
All my friends who are teachers are driving good cars and living very comfortably.

All government workers are free to strike if their needs aren't being met, so that's not a point.

Doctors are respected more than ANY other professionals in the world, that includes Nigeria, take it or leave it.

Police Officer.

That job used to be a well respected one until their penchant for bribery and corruption made them lose my respect.

I was speaking to a friend some weeks back and he proudly announced to me that he's now a SUPOL. After the call, I had to put his number on blacklist. I don't want anything to do with a Police Officer biko! Those guys are worse than the devil.

Wetin this one dey talk? You dn reach 100yrs Police n bribery na like sister n brother n they came to this world together since 1760...

Well different strokes for different folks. cheesy cheesy

In my own experience, Naija Policemen are among the worst people that I've ever encountered in life. I hate anything Nigerian Police!

They tell lies shamelessly, they twist facts, they fabricate evidence to victimize innocent people and never miss the opportunity to intimidate anyone whom they think is weak. Most annoyingly, they worship money more than anything. They are just too horrible for my liking!

Anytime I see a Naija Police man, my stomach churns with hatred. I repeat, I can never ever befriend a Police man.

Can you state the process one can make a big deal out of teaching?
Urgent1Million:

And you should stop using the situation of the "average teacher" to judge the success or otherwise of a profession.
Most of those you call "average teachers" are not even teachers.
They just take up a teaching job because they can't find something at the moment.
A professional teacher who knows their onions and have the relevant certifications is a big deal in the present world.
Know this and know peace!

Could you clearly state non-science trends? Lol. You don't know...right?

Guy, if you want to make it today, maybe for the next 50 years, you should focus on the areas I have listed. Perhaps you want to study accounting or law and become successful. Go ask lawyers and accountants how far. Or maybe theatre art or whatever is what you want to go into. Yes, you can make it, but you will face hell. Only less than 1% artists make it to Hollywood. Even Nollyhood here...go ask them how far. Lol.

If you want to make it, you should study science. Even though it is not core science, there is a data component (maths) as well as an analytical component (data, logic, probability, and combination with permutation). Analytics encompasses predictions, trading, and even gambling. Gambling is actually a skill, but many people enter it blindly. Perhaps you should read about Nate Silver, who correctly predicts the majority of US elections. He also makes accurate predictions in football. He used to be a consultant for one of the big four, but he quit. Today, he gambles and wins big. Gambling is more than just throwing money away...it requires an analytical mind that can make accurate predictions based on mathematical and logical expressions.
