HighIQ:
what is this one saying

He is simply stating the obvious under the present day Nigeria.

HighIQ:
Welcome, here are some big courses with a potential of rendering those who studied it into a state of regrets.They are big courses. There names sound good to the hearing. But are these big courses really what they claim to be?. Or are their other courses or profession competing with them.? Let take a look at them in MY top 5 listings below.

1) PETROLEUM ENGINEERING: This is a very big course to many. And a lot of people who study this course are potential workers at the oil refineries and oil companies. But after these places where can a petroleum engineer work? Absolute no where! Apart for the fact that these graduates compete with graduates of other engineering courses for the limited vacancies they are equally likely to be ignored since it is a restricted course. Chemical engineering which encompasses major chemistry of engineering including Petroleum engineering are great competitors of these people. It means if a petroleum engineer is unable to get a place in the oil industry or oil company. It may become virtually impossible to get any other job due to its nature of restriction.

2) MASS COMMUNICATION: This course also sound so good but apart from the fact they are only resticted to only the mass media, graduates of English language and other related fields are also strong competitors of these people.

3) BANKING AND FINANCE: This course also sound so beautiful and it can easily attract the.mind of Jamb candidates into studying it. But the fact is that the banking sector is a very open sector to virtually any graduates even the science students and yoruba graduates. So at this time, your been a graduate of Banking and finance won't matter at all. The worst is that you are likely not going to get any Job outside the Banking sector.

4) INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: Everyone want to be an international man but does the course really profess the name it bears?

5) MEDICAL BIOCHEMISTRY: Even biochemists are highly respected not to talk of a whole Medical Bichemist. But the fact is Medical biochemistry is under Bichemistry and as a result a restricted course. So they are likely to depend only in the hospital for a job. But sadly, graduates of Medical laboratory science have taken over most of their hospitals and likely to be a great competitor or combater of these set of people.

Nice list, but let me add one more...
6. COMPUTER SCIENCE: This course sounds big to our ears but is gradually becoming useless in this country. This is because almost all employers now requires their potential employees to have adequate knowledge of the computer. To comply with this, almost all graduate job seekers now have computer skills and even learn 2-3 computer packages that suits their field just to boost their CV.
Since there are no computer firms that recruits computer science graduates in Nigeria, these sets of graduates will end up searching for jobs in all sectors but employers will prefer to employ those who has the right skills for the job and still have computer skills as added advantage.
In this era where everyone is seeking to be computer literate, computer science graduates are finding it very difficult to stand out from the rest. Though Programming seems to be the only area that stands out in computer science, it's quite unfortunate that computer programming firms doesn't exist in this country; so our programmers must travel out of the country to fully practice their profession.

my brother Agriculture is the most lucrative course you could study but lack of capital is the issue. Agriculture is quite large than you imagine. Only students in universities of agriculture can understand well

I doubt your summation is nearly accurate
I studied Mass Communication but then i've been working for Shell Oil for over a decade now!

The op didn't say you will not get job at all is he a prophet to predict so.

What he meant was you will hardly get job in your field of expertise.

What of medical rehabilitation?

FreshShavedBalls:
Building Technology. A very good course that is facing infiltration by Civil Engineers and Architects due to the unstandardised construction industry.

I thought building is area of specialization In civil engineering ..am not understanding u

pls add Geography and Meteorology.

thank God veterinary medicine is not prone to unemployment bikooooooooooo o<ooooooooooooooo oooooooo oooooooooooo ooooo<oo<<o

maxnedu11:

Building is a 5-year undergraduate course in the Faculty of Environmental Technology.

Hmmm...interesting.

Anyway, still looking for that dream job? See my signature and thank me later.

criminology

I agree with you, although they are more than five.

Nigeria labour market is not good in using the right people at the right places.

The five group of professionals you mentioned can be Bank managers in Nigeria.

Robbery and kidnapping of course

Adultnapology.

Nursing science ooo. in fact rate of unemployment is high.

Meeloreh:
I studied biochemistry and it's like companies and hospitals employ med lab to replace us. Some because they can't afford the pay. I'm still looking out for a job opportunity and it's becoming....

Very unfortunate. The brightest people I have met have either biochem background or use biochem to do research. Whether they are now doctors, basic researchers or whatever. They also have won more Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology than almost all other backgrounds.

I would employ a biochemist sooner than any other person if I was an employer. From personal experience of school teachers back in Nigeria & medics/researchers in diaspora.

Trust your abilities. You will get there. Despite the difficulties of 9ja job market.

Exceptionalgod:
Nursing science ooo. in fact rate of unemployment is high.
