Computer science is no doubt a very useful course, it permeates almost every facets of life.

Ranging from type writing ťo the complex one's of Artificial Intelligence etc. It is no doubt inevitably relevant in This planet earth �

Many has divert views esp does who studied or are studying other courses in campus on its relevance.

Many opine that its no more lucrative,
Some has it that its value or even level of tutelage in Nigeria is so pitiable.

Dear Naira landers, I seek your criticism on this topic.

I hope it worth yours time..

Resolute5ter:
Really.
I am beginning to regret going for the course

Xpol:
please one of my younger brothers insist on going for IT instead of CS any advice on that?

Children's courses

For me computer science is one of the most secure course out there....I mean we all know the world is going digital. All u have to do is to learn personal computer skills outside school curriculum, because if u combine yr skills with your computer science degree, then u are cover anywhere in de world.
Am proudly a computer science student.

There is difference between a computer scientist and a road side web developer who just read Udemy course.


It's like saying we don't need civil or mechanical engineer because we have bricklayers and kamurudeen mechanics.

For you to get a job in most countries...number 1 criteria in the job advert is.

1. You must be a graduate or master degrees in computer science.

It's Nigeria where a company higher a web developer who studied agric studies and pay 70k per month.

Everything is upside down in Nigeria.

Computer professionals are king in the USA.

Don't let Nigeria situation deform your brain

You doubting computer science when it's the

most important course right now.

Studying computer science in Nigerian universities is the biggest waste of time.

Courses are being handled by lecturers who have no clue about computers, they only teach theory without practical application.

If you are considering acquiring computer skills you better register in an online program like linda.com or teamtreehouse.com, even udemy is a good choice. In less than a year you become a pro and start earning good money and building your career.



If no be because of certificate and NYSC na youtube sure pass

Same path, same advice, until he specializes in a specific area, he'll just be looked at as another generic graduate. In 9ja, I.T can be very wide and open to interpretation, it could be someone working at a Cafe or an engineer at MTN. Information Technology can be split into so many levels, security architect, systems admin, cloud, I.T auditor, QA and so on, let him start thinking about specialization and gaining real practical experience rather than just focuising on theories.

WinterEagle:
Any field that intersects in a way with computer science sells. The onus lies on you to develop yourself via free materials online to be at least good in data structure and algorithm if you would be interested in a technical career path down the lane. If you have people skills and do not want to code for a living, then look towards a career in IT leadership, product management, business analysis, scrum lead etc. The only drawback here is you would need to look for a way to set yourself apart from the crowd here. All the best.

Google is also developing a new suit called Google career certificates which is intended to help young people get qualifications and skills for high paying jobs without university degree. The suits is tailored for the millennials to learn in-demand skills online in 6 months and will be globally recognized as equivalent of a traditional university degree.
The question is, in the next 15 years, will certificates be required for most jobs?

Is a very nice one but u must learn a particular program to add up
get the cert but enrol in IT

I hope it worth yours time..

Opexzy:
Yes.
But more importantly, you must have the skills, else an accountant that learned the rudiments of programming from udemy will be way better than you.

Some of you might say having a degree isn't that important anymore, unfortunately that's not true. I don't have time to explain but i hope you find answers to this.

I studied computer science and I thank God I did.

BigDawsNet:
My Advice! If you ain't sure studying the course, don't stress yourself... because your first approach to the program will determine your zeal throughout your year...and that will obviously have an effect if you gonna be successful with it...


I'm a Computer Scientist...I study that before I left Nigeria... Computer Science is not all about theory...it's basically Practical

I used to know my mates then...they all graduated with very very strong grades...but you know what? Non of them can even prove that on a PC...

If you gonna be studying in Nigeria...just forget graduating as Elon...it's not gonna work...you need to make use of online IT courses...those will help you alot...you will be giving a year or 6month for placement...pls don't use it to hustle for money....use that space to find a IT Scholl and learn programming, AI or Networking...

Finally when you graduate... prepare your mind to Run a postgrad studies abroad...

We value IT here in the states..Canada,EU want people like us to help move forward their country with digital...you can be part of that team...

God bless!!

Some of lazy youths who went to school to waste their parents money are here running their mouth. Bring any course here and you see Oshodi under bridge agberos talking nonsense. One even said he regrets going for the course.

Op if you are serious with your life don't rely on nairaland mofos.
