Choosing the best career path to follow in life begins from the choice of course we make right from when we start prospecting to become fresher at universities or polytechnics; and the better choices we make, the better chances we have to advance faster in life.

Moreover, with the way global economy is fluctuating; one needs to be more careful with making choice of course to study at the higher institution level, since it has now become so obvious that certain courses or profession now have lesser opportunities of employment after graduation.

In case you are wondering how we arrived at this conclusion? Maybe you need to pay more attention to job openings being advertised on media platforms and daily newspapers to know more.
