of recent...about a couple of days ago..I basically made a write up of
the best top 10 courses and hot cake in nigeria as at today..
but
I have finally,come up with another write up of the top 10 worst
degrees with lowest potential for employment in nigeria as at today
certainly,there
is no degree that guarantees one job in & by itself however given
the current economic situation and the fast pace of economic and
technological shift in the continent and nigeria in particular there are
degrees you would be better off not investing your time and resources
to acquire as opportunities affected in those areas are increasingly
getting eroded...if however you have a degree in any of them and finding
it tough to make career headway it's time to put on your thinking cap
1 General Arts;
this
cover anything from art history to painting/sculpture in the western
world and developed countries having a degree in the arts could fetch
one decent job opportunities several years ago..after the depression
however with many european economic still sttuggling to recover it's
becoming increasingly tough to find opportunities for majors in such
areas like archeology,painting/fine art,history et cetera.
the
opportunities for these sort of degrees are shrinking and people with
the academic credentials thinking to get themselves a job in related
field would have to do a cot of innovative and pro active thinking.
career
counsellors advise those who want to study such things as art,dance,and
music to have a specific strategy...sometimes a way out could be
getting a higher degree(such as masters).
2 Humanities and liberal Arts;
if
you love sitting and thinking about the intricacies of life and
expounding on theories of existence or analysing political theories and
events there may not be enough opportunities to do that in real life
with your philosophy or political science degree to earn good money..
Humanities and liberal Art degree courses like Anthropology,political
science,philosophy and many more do not give the graduates who passes
them specific in road into the employement market..unlike professional
courses like engineering,and the business field having a degree in any
of the humanities may not really point one to a specific career
direction.
3 Education;
unless you are willing to take higher
degrees and pursue teaching opportunities at higher levels of the
education ladder having an education degree is hardly going to get you
the best jobs.
the only ways a graduate degree holder in education
will do better is either to go for higher qualification and try to break
into higher level teaching or do a career switch entirely and go for
higher qualification in a different field that has more career
prospects.
4 Religious studies;
Given the way churches and
self styled pastors are springing up in every nook and cranny it should
appear that splurging money on a religious studies degree will present
the holder with bright prospects...however nothing can be further from
the truth..except you are willing to plunge in and open your own church
down the street,becoming a quran clutching preacher et cetera...there
are hardly any existing opportunities for you to explore if you have a
religiouss studies degree and wish to exploit opportunities there in.
5 Mass communication;
In
considering mass communication we had a struggle with choosing a few
other courses ahead of mass communication but at the end the argument
was too much against mass communication degree.
the increasing
introduction of media technology is eating away at the former
strongholds of mass communication graduates..reporters and journalist
find the rug being gradually pulled of their feet as bloggers and
writers who hitherto knew nothing about mass communication.
take
over the business of news discovering and sharing newspaper and
television are no longer holding the baton in exclusive control of the
media business...for mass comm.majors who wish to find and pursue the
right career day need to understand the change in mass media and
communication tools and acquire the right skills.
other worst course are;
6 botany
7 social studies
8 english literature
9 zoology
10
forest and wildlife management(wonder what you wana do with these,maybe
you will use the certificate for cutting of woods in the forest)
