Biology graduate advises university aspirants
However, she realised that there was no future for her as a Biology graduate, hence she decided to study Nursing.
She said at the beginning of the TikTok video:
“I know a lot of you don’t know that I have a degree in Biology before I went back to nursing school. If you know your family is not strong or you have no connections, you have no business studying certain courses. One of those courses is Biology, BSc Biology.”
@hajaar_112 explained further that there is no future in Biology, as people in other fields are also struggling to find jobs, meaning there may be little hope for Biology graduates.
She also gave an example in her explanation:
“Listen to me, even if you get Biology as a course to study, I will advise you not to go because with the way the country is right now, even courses like Nursing are still struggling to get their footing. Imagine Biology.”
“I remember when I finished Biology and did my service, then it was time to start looking for a job. That was when the reality kicked in. That’s when you will know that the course I studied is really nothing.”
“No one wants to hire you. Even when you meet people that want to collect your CV, they will be asking what course did you study, and if you tell them BSc Biology, you will just see their face drop.”
She also spoke about a few other courses in her video.

@1hajaar_112 concluded:
“I made the decision to go back to nursing school because I saw that the Biology degree that I had in Nigeria has no prospect. That was one of my major pushes to go back to nursing school.”
“If you’re a university aspirant, I am advising you, if you get courses like Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, please don’t. Just skip it. I know what I’m saying.”
Reactions as graduate advise university aspirants
Graciousscents added:
"Was in 300l studying environmental biology before I got nursing, didn’t the think twice about switching, sent a total of 9yrs in the university because I started from remedial then changed department, asuu strikes and all but looking back now I’m glad I took the bold of going back."
Trader Hausa explained:
"Haba Sis, Bsc. Biochemistry shouldn't be involved. You're aware that Health part, oil and gas companies are looking for us like mad koh!"
CHOPS AND SIPS IN SOKOTO shared:
"I studied Microbiology with high hopes of working in a hospital since I couldn’t get Medical Laboratory Science. Looking back now, I wish I had chosen P.E.S instead. Sometimes the courses we think have better prospects don’t always turn out that way. 💔🙏🏽🥺."
Asquare wrote:
"I studied Biology and currently work in the healthcare/pharmaceutical sector, where I apply my scientific knowledge and earn a living through my qualification. Currently working as a Medical Delegate, promoting healthcare solutions and contributing to improved patient outcomes."
Sani Sabo Kwarko added:
"Better to read Biology education (B. Sc. Ed) than pure biology."
Mimie stressed:
"i studied microbiology in udus after so many years i went back to school and study SLT."
Snooper said:
"The sooner they realise this the better thank you for the enlightenment."
Abdool added
"I studied Microbiology and I am an Officer. Madam forget all of these, grace is all that matters. Whatever u study just pray for grace."
Legit.ng contacted the lady after she shared her thoughts and advised university aspirants not to study Biology to get more insight into her story.
In the exclusive chat, she explained why she spoke about her experience and whether she regretted studying the course.
"Well, I thought speaking up could help young university aspirants not make the same mistakes most of us made."
"Absolutely not. I don’t regret it. BSc Biology is always going to remain my base course, and I am proud of it, just less proud of the job opportunities it has in Nigeria. I just posted another video on that, but I think after working at a private firm for two years and seeing how there was little to no personal growth, I decided to quit and pursue a nursing career."
Speaking about the reaction she has received from Biology graduates and her advice to aspirants, the young lady told Legit.ng:
"Haha, so many are not happy with my analogy and think I just didn’t try hard enough with Biology. Lol."
"Hmm, honestly, if possible, I would say drop the course, write another JAMB, and choose a different course. This might all sound too much, especially to a young person excited to go to university, but honestly, in the long run, you would thank me."
