There is nothing wrong with having passion in doing a job that pays less but in an idea world and especially in Nigeria, most people will choose one of the best courses that is rewarding and at the same time fulfilling.
The recent demand for higher education in Nigeria due to the limited space in our institutions of higher learning has necessitated the habit of getting admission irrespective of the course on offer.
Some people will argue that they will not wait for years before they will get admitted in their course of choice rather they will prefer to take any course so far it can lend to being a university student.
The downside of such a decision is so or later you will graduate from the program and you will face the job market with a qualification with a discipline that does not produce a job vacancy in Nigeria job sector.
This can favor those that are well connected because with their connection they can get a job in areas that do not related with their course of studies.
