Jamb Guide On Choice Of Course

Choosing a course to study in the University? below are factors you should or should never consider:

1. Your Passion

In every action, passion should come first. Passion is the first thing to consider before choosing a course to study in the University. What course do you really like to study and what gives you joy most?

Choose a course that you have dream’t to study. This will enable you channel your effort towards making it a reality. My dear, what is your passion?

2. Balance Your Strength And Weakness

Before choosing a course, it is good you check the subject combinations for the course. If you are one of those who have completely given up on mathematics and other major calculation courses, you should not consider applying to study Engineering.

However, if you have accepted to understand the subjects that give you tough time as relates to your choice of course by all means, then you may want to give it a try.

3. Don’t Pick A course Because Of Friends

Do you say, my friend is studying Medicine, therefore I will study Medicine too? Be careful of unhealthy comparison. Life is not to compete but to complete.

Don’t study a course because you think it is hot cake or your friends are putting you under pressure to do so. It will always back fire. Choose what you want and stick to it.

4. Parental Influence

I don’t want to study law but my parents are forcing me to do so. If this is your problem, then you are not alone. Many parents have chosen to enforce study course on their kids. This is not the right thing.

The question is, if your parents ask you to study a course you do not have passion for, are they the ones that will write the examinations for you? Try to talk to them.

Is the certificate offered by the institution respected in the country? If yes, you can go ahead.
