When choosing a course to study in the university, there are many things to put into consideration. First is whether you like the course enough to spend at least four years studying it. Secondly and most importantly is the marketability of the course. For a course to be marketable, it has to have a market value after the university environment. This doesn’t mean that the course is useless; however, it means that the course does not pay in the particular environment you find yourself in. This brings us to the worst courses one can study in Nigeria. Courses in the arts<\/a> and science departments are contained in this category.<\/p>\n The Nigerian environment limits the choice of courses one can study in the university. This does not mean that they do not have other foreign courses on their course list. However, it implies that certain courses studied in Nigerian universities cannot be practiced in Nigeria fully. They are the worst courses because they do not fetch enough money in Nigeria, and are not valued here. In other countries, they may be of great value, but they are not in Nigeria. It is important to note that these courses are not worthless, and those who studied them still find jobs. The only thing is that they may not find jobs in their disciplines apart from teaching the course or subject in schools and universities. There is also the fact that in Nigeria, you can work anywhere no matter the course you studied, except the medical field.<\/p>\n Geography is a field of science that is interested in the study of features, lands, phenomena, and inhabitants of the planets and earth. The course is all-encompassing as it studies humans, nature, and objects to show how they changed and how they came to be. Geography is a course that demands a lot from the students. In Nigeria, however, it gives back to its graduates lesser than it collected from them. After studying this course in the Nigerian university, you get to work in surveying, real estate, meteorology, emergency management, etc.<\/p>\n The course is one of the worst courses you can study in Nigeria. Those who study Geography in Nigerian universities end up working in other people’s fields as we have seen. It is less marketable in Nigeria because it does not directly pay its graduates. Graduates of this course end up scrambling for jobs and taking jobs from other fields. The course’s interdisciplinary nature allows its graduates to fit into other disciplines but provides less opportunity for its own discipline.<\/p>\n Development Studies is a multidisciplinary social science course that is interested in development. It has two branches; one is interested in political, social, economic, and ecological change, while the other is interested in improving the well-being of the people and sustainable use of natural resources.<\/p>\n It is clear that this course is not well marketable in Nigeria. On the one hand, it is not well known in the country. On the other hand, the course studies the political and cultural development of a people and prefers a solution to some of the problems. Nigeria is a country that does not accept changes easily. Job opportunities are limited and the graduates are left to fight for jobs with other disciplines.<\/p>\n Sociology is the study of society, patterns of social relationships, human social behavior, and the aspects of culture that are part of the everyday life of an individual. Sociology uses empirical investigations and critical analysis to carry out its research. Anthropology, on the other hand, is the study of human cultures and how they evolved over generations. Anthropologists are interested in studying what makes human beings human and also study the different aspects of human history and life. Some universities like the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, study the two courses together, while others study them as separate disciplines.<\/p>\n These are good courses that fetch money for those who practice outside Nigeria. However, in Nigeria, there are limited job opportunities for graduates of this course. They do not have a variety of places to work that are solely for their discipline. By this, we can say that Anthropology is one of the worst courses one can study in Nigeria.<\/p>\n Archaeology is one of the worst courses to study in Nigeria, and it does not have a good market value in the country. Archaeology is the study of past human activities through the material remains they left behind. They use these fossils and artifacts to study human history and prehistory. From the sound of this, it is well-practiced in the western world. Although Nigerians have produced good archaeologists, they still do not have many job opportunities in the country. This course is not marketable in Nigeria because it does not have a good ground and sponsorship to carry out its services and pay archeologists well.<\/p>\nList of Worst Courses To Study In Nigeria<\/strong><\/h3>\n
