1. European Studies
Before you freak out, this is not about the study of Europe and its countries o. If you love languages, it is an added advantage for you.
The department of European studies is a part of the Faculty of Arts. In this department, you are taught your choice of any of these three European languages: German, French and Russian. In a world where there is a high demand for tutors or translators for foreign languages, this is definitely a lucrative career to delve into.
2. Zoology
The department of zoology falls under the faculty of Science. It is definitely another unpopular but lucrative course to study in the University of Ibadan.
Although, there are not many career prospects that properly appreciate them in the country, Zoologists have better opportunities in foreign countries like the United States. And so with a degree in zoology and a visa to the said country, you’re just about ready to secure the proverbial money bag.

You’ve probably heard that there is a lot of money in the fishing industry. Well, the department of Aquaculture and fisheries management is where you learn how to make money from this industry. It is a part of the faculty of Agriculture and forestry. It is another lucrative course which is unpopular but you should definitely look into.
4. Agric Extension & Rural Development
There’s this popular saying among the Yoruba people which means there is money in the forest or farming. And that is very true!
If you’re in search of another course that is not sought after by many who want to study in a Nigerian university, but is definitely very lucrative, then it is Agric extension and rural development. There is a lot of money to be made in the farming business and many people still don’t know this yet.
5. Guidance and Counselling
As it is with the department of zoology, Guidance and Counselling is another lucrative course that is not recognized and appreciated as it should be. In fact, very few people who are currently studying the course or are graduates from their department know how lucrative this course can be. But with a degree in guidance and counselling and with the right opportunities in an environment where it is appreciated, this is another course that is very lucrative in the business world.
