Choose social work. Those still sitting for JAMB, should look towards studying courses like psychology and social work if they have plans to migrate after studies. Psychology have given me so many work opportunities here in the UK, that I had to be selective. 27 Likes 1 Share |

Meritjoshua: Hi, Good afternoon. I work with Studyin-UK Nigeria. I’d say you are lucky for being transferred to Social Work. In Nigeria, you can get almost any job no matter your field of Study, so with that you can get any job a Political Science cert holder can get, but outside the shores of Nigeria, you are KING. Social Work is highly on demand and it will take a strong background to get an offer for that, and with your own back ground, the sky is your limit. Take the course, you’ll be grad you did. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lol... Nonsense courses. I studied Political science. Apart from arguing politics like a mad man, there is nothing else you can do with the course. Nigeria in particular made those courses to be useless. It is a complete waste of time and money. I said what I said! BTW... I graduated with 2:1, so nobody should mention me in anyway 9 Likes |

A 'Social Work' degree from Nigeria will not get you a job in that field abroad. Please ignore those advising you it will be lucrative in Tokyo, Australia, and Peru etc It is not a good thing to say, but if I was going to University in 2023, I will not choose 'political science' or 'social work.' You need to study a subject that will give you a good chance of securing a job when you graduate. If I was in your shoes, I would rather spend my next few years like this: 1. Learn furniture making at a good company for 2 years or however long it takes to become competent. 2. As that is going on, I will register with Open University and study a course. If I absolutely want political science, then I will study it there. You will graduate with a degree at the same time as your mates who attend a regular university, but you will already be making money 2 - 3 years before them. 11 Likes |

What do you gain from Political Science, where the local politicians of Amala Politics, Almajiri, ethnicity -driven non-state actors, road transport unions, unknown gun men, etc determine the political direction of Nigeria. Political theories hardly work here. For example, miscalculation of political pathway and egoism have made nonsense of all permutations ahead of the 2023 general elections. In short, settle for Social Work which is of more benefits to yourself personally and career-wise, and also contribute to social and behavioral change for nation building. God bless you. |

Meritjoshua: Social work is way better than political science. What do you want to do with political science? Without a master's degree or PhD, there is hardly anything you can do with a political science degree except to teach government and history in schools. Social workers (just like nurses) are hot cakes everywhere in the world. 2 Likes |
