Also Note that the two richest men in Nigeria; Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga both study Business Admin.
Tony Elumelu also one of the richest men in Nigeria is a graduate of Economics.
What you've to note here is that, almost all these people studied Entrepreneur Courses. Mark Zuckerberg was in year 2 in Computer Science Dept when he created a site for his school mates to blog, and do hookup 😂. Well, the site developed into an App called Facebook, the most popular app in the world.
Elon Musk studied Pure Physics, the same Physics you all are doing shakara for.
Dangote - Business Admin.
Moral Lesson - The most important thing is doing a course you love. With passion, you can be the greatest even if you're studying Human Kinetics or Adult Education, as long as you love it, you can still be great.
Most of this great men listed above, their parents didn't chose the course for them. They were driven with passion.
Don't let anyone intimidate you with Medicine or Law, do your Library Science, you can be greater than them.
But remember that after studying Library Science, there's no good Library in Nigeria to work 😂
