Finish ur school do some gud certification's become a professional n use ur wide knowledge from studying sociology to navigate in life my brother. Sociology is a gud course but there are no jobs for sociologist in dis country.

What professionak certificate would you advice me to go for considering my course

u won bcome social worker??

Most people in Naija don't study to be engaged in that field, but for survival, even to PhD level
That's why we have some many of us with Masters & PhD, without any field of focus..

Whereas, just with yr school cert or nothing, u'r guaranteed a good living in some countries,

Even person wey do Yoruba, just go for first class, as long as u'r smart....u can get an oil company job

The lucky ones among them are doing make-up or selling hair online. The luckier ones got married and followed whatever life throws at them.

The unlucky ones joined feminists' movements and are taking out their frustrations on men.

I understand now

They are NOW IG BRAND INFLUENCERs

Owners of Different brands like "Chioma collection" "Bisiola wears" "Desola Empire" that don't exist or ONLY EXIST on IG....

You better gather that money and use it to Learn a trade or Skill!

I mean connections to scale through may God help us sha

banjo022:
sociology as a guy I wouldn't advise u to study that course it a very useless course. there are no employment opportunities for them except u r well connected.

What about if i want to become a lecturer

Whatever you do make sure you get a very good grade at least a second class upper degree.
Where you'll work may not relate to your field of study.

kilimanjaro:


Bro, you are a mad man!

How.do u know , if u are not my senior colleague in madness.

noobsaibot2:


My candid advice, go for Education and become a good teacher (qualified).

Like a lecturer??

Aladdin1:
Dont just bother yourself. just graduate and join your mates who have graduated years ago at home. The truth is that no course you study in Nigeria has any prospect to land you automatic job after graduation. The only prospect is having a solid connection. Nigeria is dead as a nation and thats the reality on ground. It doesnt really matter the course you study. After graduation the government would tell you to go and learn how to fry akara or kpekere or you go and start selling rat poison.

Seriously

LiveLifeHub:


The truth is even some law graduates are still looking for job.
Get a copy of the book below!

Build Your Capacity for life after school.
Send MD a DM.

Why will law graduate look for job in the first place,their course is practical course...

Urgent: Please All Gradauate Of sociology Where Are You Working Now

am a student of uniport dep of sociology
I initially wanted law b4 waec then i changed my min during jamb
Please how good is sociology and as a graduate where are you working
And which jobs is promising to us

Next time you pick up a newspaper, pay close attention to the vacancy section.

There is an 8/10 chance that you will find the answer to your question.

But I know some companies always ask for sociology degrees when looking to fill up positions in PR and customer service departments. That should give you a fair idea where you belong with your degree.

And hey, be proud of what you studied, man. "Professional course" or not.

Wonder what that means...

Alexaonfleek:
I have an aunty who studied this sociology course.

Las Las she clung to her hubby's money

Seriously??

Ehinmen3:


you don't know how to send DM but you know how to create a post and also quote people's reply.. may God forgive you. if you like study heaven and earth, if you are lazy and don't have the fear of God you won't make it in life.

Bro, y d cause
Things have changed, we are not expected to be thinking like this the Nigeria of those years when things are better.
Any graduate that is not learning a skill and your papa no get connection and you no believe the God you serve to be your provider.

It takes only a miracle to land any job in any course in Nigeria, not only Sociology.

I'm a sociology undergraduate aswell.

Chimdi22:
Am a graduate of sociology and am a senior investigation officer at national human rights commission

I dislike graduates that don't know the difference between I am, am, and I'm.

Meanwhile, what sort of moniker is "Alopecia"

Goddamn.

roszilman:

Nice i wanted to go for masters when i graduate with my saved earnings and go back as a lecturer
Dont know if its waste of money
Also have it in mind to travel to s.a or do the masters
Am confused

A friend of mine graduated with first class from that same Uniport, she read sociology too, since 2016/17 till now no job and she did her masters there also.

justebuka:

so your advise is for me to drop out?

Please don't take this guy seriously, he is probably a proponent of the infamous notion "school na scam".

If you studied sociology and made a 2:1, you stand a better chance of getting more job test invites than someone that studied economics nd made a 2:2.

For entry level, grade matters a lot. Possibly more than course of study.

Bro are you serious, please tell me more

justebuka:

Seriously??

Yep.
Tho her grade was kinda low sha.
If you get a first class or second class upper you might be able to get a good job with it.

Uyi168:
Seriously in the present time, reading some courses is almost tantamount to wasting of time..

U may be one of the very lucky microscopic few that'll land a job...

The course and the likes of pub admin, political sciences and the so Called Para medical courses na waste of valuable time..

Okay, this is so discouraging especially cos I'm doing a combo of Pol Sci/Pub Admin.

Thanks for the reality check.

justebuka:

dont like any job with guns
But like law related

And you saying police isn't law related??

with sociology, u can work in any para-military.be it customs,immigration,prisons and the likes of DSS, NDLEA Criminologist e.t.c. but due to the harsh economy of nigeria,where by u have to know someone before you can get a job,will not let you function or fit into the right role or job.sociology is very broad and a good course.i have a bsc and msc in sociology,and am currently working in a logistic firm.
