    Most Sought after skills in Nigeria?

    hello ladies, fellas everyone in the house. Good day!

    like so many of you i'm a fresh grad looking for the next big thing: a GREAT JOB.

    Personally, i feel the best way to get one is to enhance one's self. This could be

    through acqusition of rare skills that are most sought after by employers. skills

    that would make them salivate and say: please could you work for me?

    Now, herez the catch; you could earn good cash with your acquired skill

    afterwhich you could kiss the job good bye and invest your hard earned cash in a

    very profitable biz...maybe somethin related to your acquired skills or new career.

    You can also change jobs at your fancy. So i suggest we start a thread:

    what skill do you consider the most sought after in the labour market in

    Nigeria today?

    IT is it for me. i love it.

    hi,you didnt tell us what you did has your first degree,i personally think all courses are marketable, it all depends on your packaging.make yours to be different from what others are doing. there is nothing bad in IT.but everything is with interest.are you an art or science person?did you choose your 1st degree or was it a parental choice,or jamb score choice? this re what you should ask yourslf and make yours different from what everybody is doing.no matter how little the difference.it really works. good luck!

    Any body in house should please listen to my prophesy in answers to the question of skills sought for. If your are very good in Marketing and you have somethiong to show for in, then Please the current and long lasting problem in nigeria is marketing of all goods produces by all companies.It isd unfortunite that I am an idustreial Chemist with PhD. In veiw, I would have sought to Solve this problem. Guru in Marjeting will be on \High demend in thsi country. Plz it is an eye opener Take care. Iwant mor critism and contrbutioon on this reamin bless.

    one cannot jump into any trade or profession because it is the most sought after. This decision should have been made b4 filling the jamb form, while others were going to NDA and Flight Training Scools.

    when u talk about IT, Oracle,CCNA,MCSE holders are still looking for jobs. Maritime Technicians are still looking for jobs. The answer is what is your interest. My own interest is Leadership and the only way to get there is through partisan politics, the skill is good manifesto or rigging.

    Talking about skills...which i beleive is ur exceptional ability to achieve results better than others, of your same category, in the same situation...the most sought after ones belong to every category of job and sphere of life.whatever course u studied,the most sought after skill there must belong to the best person who can achieve results in the shortest possible time with the least use of resources in that particular course.so be the best of whatever u studied or intend to major in,develope urself by the hour...no knowledge is a waste..and ull be the most sought after in your field.
    The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.....

    BELIEVE ME.NO ONE COURSE CAN BE SAID TO BE THE BEST ANYMORE.I STUDIED FRENCH THEN MARKETING.I WORK FULL-TIME BROADCASTING AND DO MEDIA CONSULTANCY ON THE SIDE AND ITS VERY REWARDING.

    MARKETING IS ONE COURSE I WISH COULD BE MADE A FORCED ELECTIVE IN ALL HIGHER INSTITUTIONS REGARDLESS OF DISCIPLINE, SO A GRADUATE CAN LOOK AT THE COURSE HE HAS READ AND THEN STUDY HIS ENVIRONMENT,WITH A VIEW TO FINDING A NEEDS GAP AND FILLING IT .PROFITABLY,OF COURSE.

    ITS ALMOST LIKE A LAW THAT MOST PEOPLE DONT DO WHAT THEY STUDIED IN SCHOOL ANYMORE.AND IF U ASK ME ITS BEST AS IT HAS OPENED PEOPLES EYES TO SKILLS THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW THEY POSSESSED.
