I am sure you will love to know how to choose a profitable Course to study. Firstly, being a graduate is nothing to be compared to how valuable you will be on graduation.

The course you graduate from really matters a lot when considering how easily you will get a job when you graduate and that is the most important aspect of the game.

On this page, I will be guiding you on how to choose a very profitable Course that will guarantee you getting a job immediately after you graduate.

Factors To Consider When Choosing a Course.

For any Undergraduate student that wishes to pursue a career in one field or the other, kindly know that there are so many factors that contribute to how profitable a course is.

So as a student planning to further your education in the Tertiary Institution, It is very advisable for you to consider the following factors so as to make a good choice that will pay you bountifully in the nearest future. 

Here are the best factors to consider when choosing a course that will be very profitable to you on graduation:

Whether you are searching for:

Job availability:

What else will you want to do with your certificate on graduation if not getting a job with it? When choosing a course, It is very advisable to make research on how often graduates from that field get employed.

When Considering the employment rate for your field, it is very advisable to check both present and future employment chances.

Based on research, it has been concluded that some courses will lose employment opportunities and graduates from such courses will face Job scarcity. So if you are considering taking a course, also consider how the Job market of such courses will be present and in the nearest future.

Cost of study:

This factor might not be taken into so much consideration. But Some courses might require you to travel abroad or attend an extremely prestigious school (either private school or thereabout) which might cost you so much money.

There is no doubt that a Medical Graduate that studied in India will be duly considered faster when he or she applies for any Job vacancy in his or her field. In all, make sure you make a better financial budget before you make a move.

Salary outcome:

Some Petroleum Engineers in Nigeria who work in multinational Oil companies earn as much as Millions of Naira per month.

There are also other fields that may earn as little as the minimum wage in Nigeria. You see, your profession will really determine how much you could earn as a salary when you graduate and get employed.

Although this might not be a very considerable factor for some people, it is also very advisable to find out how much salary people working in your Field could earn as a monthly salary. For Example, this is the salary for Nurse graduates here.

How To Choose a course of study (Best Factors to Consider)

Now, if you wish to choose a course that will be profitable for you in the future, then I will advise you to follow and consider the following factors when choosing a course.

Discover Your Passion and Dream:

You will perform very well when you study a course you are so passionate about. More so, you will find it easier to excel when you go for a course you really have passion for.

How will you know your passion then?

This is where a lot of people find it difficult to seek out themselves. As a young person, you can discover your passion when you find out the following in yourself:

1. Think about what motivates you.
2. Find out your values. Your values are your strong beliefs in life.
3. Think about what you love doing so much and always feel happy when doing it.
4. Consider what you have always dreamed of doing or what you have always dreamt to be in the future
5. Take note of things that matter most to you.
6. Practice mindfulness. Fear can kill the pursuit of your passion. So avoid it
7. Always experiment with yourself from time to time.
8. Combine your talents. If you have more than one talent, then combine them and see what you will arrive at.
9. Pick up a hobby and Turn your hobby into a full-time passion.
10. Explore the world: If you are finding it difficult finding your passion, then it might be because you are so used to doing the same thing over and over again and you have become comfortable with that. Traveling Out of your comfort zone might also be a great way to expose you to the world and you can find a new passion with new eyes.
11. Interview Important People in your Life about what they feel and Think about you and your future.

 Make Research on the course you want to choose:

After discovering your dream, check and choose a course that is related to it and make some research about it. The best things you should research about it should include; the value of the course in the Job Market, the Cost of studying the course, the best schools that offer the course, the study duration, Salary outcome and the requirements for studying the course.

Check the cost of studying the Course:

This includes the school that will give you a good reputation when you graduate. Most of the schools that will give you the best result might be expensive to attend. Some might even require you to travel abroad. But in all, make sure you make a better financial budget before you make a move.

To check the cost of studying the Course, do research on the following: The best school that offers the course. After selecting a school, check their school fee, Tuition fee, Entrance fee, and so on. For Example, Here are the best schools to study Medicine and Surgery.

If the course will require you to travel abroad or traveling away from home, then you also have to check out the transportation cost and requirements and also the cost of accommodation.

Find Out The Requirements:

After Checking the cost of studying the Course and selecting the school to study it, the next thing is to check the requirements.

Your research on such requirements should include; the school admission requirements, the admission requirements for the course, the eligibility for admission, and so on.

If it requires you to travel abroad, then you also have to check out the requirements for traveling and accommodation.
