chrisbills74:Smh even with MSC and you still speak like this .... The reason why you may have no job is because job was your primary motivation for education not "knowledge" ... Change your mindset bro .... look in between the lines ... Job is highly competitive nowadays and what matters in the market now is no more generic education and knowledge.... You must be distinguished and distinct ... you must possessed a special knowledge in your field and na dem go beg you and na you go determine price .... 3 Likes 1 Share |

saajus:Economics won't expose you to sh.it in Accounting.... Accounting is rules/Principles based ... Economics doesn't have a rule ... you and I may look at the same phenomenon and come out with different economic theory and we shall both be right and wrong ... In Accounting, under the same business environment, same transaction and phenomenon... Both companies must achieve same result if not ... There is a Fraud ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

CSTRR:Economics is applicable everywhere even in that local store you will buy your groceries this morning ... Every companies need an economist for planning and Decision making but not too many Economics is needed just one or two to advice the management in responding to economic indices and fluctuations in the market but the problem with economics is that its mostly theoretical while the world is now going Pragmatic ! The advantage of Economics over all other commercial courses including Accounting is that nothing speaks the language of economy than economics.... since commercial/Business disciplines are heavily dependent on economy and her indices , We all need to possess knowledge of Economics so as to be able to respond when the business environment changes even before it changes we must be able to predict the pattern ahead and stir the course of the company ... else ... you will run your employer down and they will sack you ! |

Most reasonable comments so far. Both courses are great but in terms of opportunity/ prospect in the labour market Accounting is King. Be it chartered or not most finance director will definitely consider B.sc in Accounting over Economics if both candidates did well in an interview. CSTRR: |

This is just a twist to the narrative... Godwin Emefiele, Cbn Governor is an Accountant while Former Governors of Cbn Charles Soludo, Lamido Sanusi are both Economist. During the tenure of the latter, they came about with robust policies which made our economy better, but who we have at affairs of CBN now is just an accountant saddled with responsibility of only collating figures. This says a whole lot about the difference in application of the two courses. If I'm offered both choices, I'll opt to study Economics over Accountancy 1 Like |

Harrykn:Take that question to buhari who does not have even one economist in his cabinet. Many economists have adviced this government but what did the government do, they insisted on sharing 10k, 30k and 50k as a means of poverty reduction, borrowing in order to travel and pay unproductive civil servants salaries. Do not get this wrong, Nigeria inflation is a man made one caused by some people's ignorance, you do not share money to 10% of the population and hope that the price of things will remain thesame in the market. |

donaldwhal:Did you just say that an economics graduate can not practice on his own? What do you take economics for, please say what you know. As a student of economics, you are trained to be a professional data analyist, that is the reason why you are expected to have good knowledge of EVIEWS, SPSS, STATA and R before you graduate. Economics graduate can practice as private consultants just as an accounting graduate. |

It depends on your career objectives so you are in the best position to decide. But as an experienced professional, I will suggest you go with Economics because it will broaden your knowledge and widen your career options. With the banking and finance certificate you already have, you can easily become a chartered accountant if you decide to write ICAN exams (and I will urge you to go for it). Best wishes. |

DonroxyII: Thank you very much. God bless you. I'm a Canadian citizen I just want to know how I can help him to get to where he needs to be. I will prefer him to go to Canada to write equipment of the Btech there, rather than in the UK. I'm not sure even if this is possible. I'm not very familiar with nigerian education systems but I wrote my WAEC in Lagos. Thanks again. |

Linzo: B. SC Economics(Macroeconomics or Microeconomics or Development Economics) and qualify as an ICAN chartered accountant. The world is at your feet with both qualifications. There is a shortage of economic managers and ideas that will impact on people positively. Ngozi Okongko Iweala is enjoying the perks at the moment. |
