What of computer science?is it not a good course
Gabriel Joshua says
Computer science is one of the best course u can study in Nigeria . looking at the world market today computer literacy is highly recommended. every one is looking for an It expert, even I as an Architectural student, the knowledge of computer is very important. I assure you that you can’t regret studying it . I advise u also broaden your skills on entrepreneurship so as to work smart in this country’s economic situation.
Isaac Inegbenehi says
However, you don’t need to study computer science to be very good at computer. If you are serious, you can have sound computer knowledge within three months.

Delight says
sir i want to be a petrol chemical engineering.Is it a good course or should i study nursing.
Gabriel Joshua says
I advise you go for Petroleum Engineering. People think that Petroleum Engineering is a one way course but it’s not. Petroleum it self is not only about petrol, it comprises of many other products e.g Petrochemicals, kerosene, gas etc. Looking at the salary rate, it’s the highest paying Engineering for now, cause even as a fresh graduate, you can earn up to N750,000 monthly if u got the connects tho. I advise u know your strength and weaknesses before going for selecting courses. Nursing is also a good course, it might not pay much salary like Petroleum Engineering, but they have more job opportunities and chances than any Engineering courses.
