which know fact? From whose assertion? Yours? Is it that you've chosen to argue blinding or you find it hard to comprehend and digest information. Do you know what data analysis and statistics is? I guess u don't cos if u do, u won't call people who wrote those courses, passed them and even graduated mathematical olodus!
I have zero strength to argue dear, I've presented you with a fact. If you doubt or question it authenticity you can do an offline survey by visiting few campuses.

Please don't ask me to present you with a statistical data, carry out the survey I suggested.

The person should accept the course and apply for the next jamb for a better admission next yeat, this bcoz getting into the university will improve his level of thinking and IQ especially if he is very industrious.

If the institution that offered mass communication to your friend has the option of inter department/faculty crossing after 100level, your friend can change department after the 1st year, with a good CGPA. I did the same, I was offered Agronomy when I was seeking admission and after the 1st year I crossed to Computer Engineering..

I already told him to further abroad after graduation..

Mass com graduates in the house, how has the experience been for you since graduation, is it advisable to study for bsc in Naija and further in a better country outside?
Don't take it. It is my biggest regret. I studied Linguistics and Communication Studies, so believe me when I tell you that it is a waste.

I read mass communication and I’m a lecturer in the department of mass communication, currently running my phD. Mass communication involves almost every areas. I started making money right from my 100Level days. I got to know about graphics design, film or video editing, sounds and in mass communication you can focus on public relations and advertising, Journalism, film and cinematography, broadcasting, Social and New media, scriptwriting, etc. one thing is you cannot study a course and not develop yourself practically. If you finish with a first class and you are poor practically, it is wrong. Mass communication is a beautiful course and it is not a course that is very easy simply because there are several professional courses embedded in it. Please study this course and pick any area of your choice by specializing in it......trust me you will never regret it. For more info, email me @ ptajayi@jabu.edu.ng

Hello sir.

No course in Nigeria is useless, as long as you have a goal and belief that you will excel in whatever you do .

We have seen CRS, French or geography graduate become Managers of Banks or Manufacturing company.

I studied Mass communication even with a not too perfect result, but by the Special Grace of God, I am an IT Manager in one of the top 5 FMCG/manufacturing company here in Nigeria .

I have worked in several banks, Multinational FMCG, IT tech industry without lobbying or going the Nigerian way .

All you need is to do is; despite your course of study or Grade, Pray to God to define your path and have a defined goal and have the FAITH that you will excel.

I wish you or your friend the best and I hope I have been able to inspire someone.

Have a pleasant day....

Studying Mass Communication has become a waste of time. 90% of OAPs did not study Mass Comm. Nowadays, all you need to be a presenter is to be able to speak britico english. Radio and TV stations are more interested in your SKILLS than in your Kpali.

Last bullet: There are many people who practice journalism who did not even study mass comm. You can decide to be a journalist by starting a youtube channel!

In this current nigeria studying

Mass communication
Business administration
Economics
Law

Etc

Are waste of time ...

I can only advice people to study any artisan courses eg
Electrical electronics
Engeering
Health education
IT
Your skills will speak for you to get a job not by who you know


You don't know what you're saying ogrin

Business is the way bro, and you mentioned Engineering buhahaha....You go find work tiregrin

I've seen hundreds of not thousand of Communication oriented vacancies this year..... Journalism course would ever be relevant and fetch you enough money.... If you are going for it, go digital.... It's not enough to just write for broadcast and print alone... Do yourself favour by learning something like blogging and other digital skills...... Thanks

Nothing is wrong with studying mass communication. It's a good course. just ensure you are competent. If you aren't competent no one will employ you cos you will be dealing with the public.
There are vacancies for graduates of masscom.

There is nothing a Mass Comms/Theatre Arts/Political Science/History (Humanities generally) can do that a Doctor, Engineer or Accountant cannot do.

Asides Law and maybe Languages....Course no dey there again.

I wouldn't advise anyone to take up any of these Courses.

It is very relevant my bro....when you leave the Univ or you are serving, it will now dawn on you.

If your Guardians aren't those who have the "legs" or perhaps there is something extraordinary about you...leave am o.
