There are some courses which are underrated due to their nature and the career prospects. However, some of these courses are now the perfect career for an aspiring millionaire.

If you are interested in underrated University courses that can make you a millionaire, then this list will help you. Below are 5 of the most underrated courses that can make you a millionaire:

Theatre Arts

This is a course which teaches students to use live performers, typically actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. Graduates of this course are expected to become actors, actresses, movie directors, producers and stakeholders in the entertainment industry. The career prospects in theatre arts revolves around the entertainment industry and this is one of the most lucrative industries in the world today. For example, the Nigerian Film Industry (Nollywood) is globally recognised as the second largest film producer in the world. The Industry is a significant part of the Arts, Entertainment and Recreation Sector which contributed 2.3% (NGN239biliion) to Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2016. A research by PwC has anticipated that revenue from media and entertainment will reach an estimated $2.2 trillion by 2021. The music industry earned $43 billion in revenue in 2017 alone.Real Estate Management

Real Estate Management is also referred to as property management. This trains students to oversee residential, commercial and/or industrial real estate, including apartments, detached houses, condominium units, and shopping centres. It typically involves the managing of property that is owned by another party or entity. A retired Clinical Professor from the S.C. Johnson School of Hotel Administration at Cornell and one of the pioneers in the field of revenue management, Professor Bill Carroll, observed that real estate management is an area that's under-resourced and under-appreciated but has significant impact. It's not just operations research on steroids. He stated that, A lot of students want to go into real estate or own hotel property, but in many cases you can make more money by running an integrated, effective revenue management program than you can as an owner. Some of the career opportunities for Real Estate Management graduates include: Property management, Real estate Agent, Valuer, Auctioneer, Business broker etc. The reality in Nigeria is that most Nigerians are fast moving away from buying lands and moving on to erect buildings. Most people now prefer buying buildings from Real Estate Agents or paying Real Estate Agencies for their preferred buildings.Computer Science

Computer science in this sense covers Computer software. IT management and Computer engineering. Computer science is a term that is fits in perfectly in the same sentence as billionaire today. Over the past years, the tech industry has produced start-ups who grow on to become world recognized brands. In view of this, the demand for computer scientists has also risen across the world. The major source of wealth in the tech industry lies in the ability to develop a product which solves the need of technology users and also saves them time. This is due to the fact that the attention span of people is now very short and they tend to find easy alternatives. We are deemed to be in the technology age where computer science and software engineering are the future as they offer great perks for graduates who have the potential to work at top global firms. There is a large opportunity to earn while working as a traditional pathway worker for a company or founding your own tech company.Sports Administration

Sports administration courses also include sports marketing and promotion. The career prospects in sports administration are numerous as the number of globally recognised sports activities are gradually increasing. The Sports industry is a fast growing industry in the world today as it poses billions of dollars in revenue. A persons with a Master’s degree in sports administration is expected to earn around $30,000 at entry level. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that job growth in sports management will grow faster than average for some areas of the field through 2028 because of expansion due to multi-billion dollar profits from the sports industry. Competition for these jobs is however becoming high in the world today. The richest athlete in the world; Vinve McMahon has a net worth of $2.2billion. One of the largest earners in sports administration are football agents. In football, an agent is a representative and intermediary who handles the interests of a player or multiple players. An agent's core responsibilities include: Negotiating contracts to achieve the best possible outcome for their client. Securing lucrative endorsement and sponsorship deals.

In 2019 football agents made over $600 millions in transfer alone, massive. Agriculture

One of the comodities which will never go out of demand is food.

I will discuss about three aspects of Agriculture which many people never knew could easily bring in millions if properly managed. 

SOIL SCIENTIST: As we all know that one of the major problems we facing in the agricultural sector is lack of proper maintainance and preventive measures to be taken on our farmls.

As a soil scientist you'll gather, interpret and evaluate information about the chemistry, biology and physics of soil. Using the information obtained from this analysis, you'll inform and influence on diverse issues such as:

agricultural production

biodiversity

climate change

environmental quality

human health

land remediation.

Being a natural and renewable resource, soil is vital to sustaining food production, supporting plant and animal life and having a positive impact on environments globally. Working in soil science enables you to be part of this important area of research and development.

The soil scientist are consulted regularly due to the large number of farmlands we have and some are paid per consultancy while some are permanent consultants to a particular farm. 

As a crop scientist you can be paid 50,000 - 200,000 or more per month or per every consultancy depending on the size, location and how good you are in your job.

Animal production: This is a great means of eradicating unemployment and increasing livelihood in agriculture. 

A large percentage of the rural people satisfy their subsistence needs through livestock production which involves the rearing and marketing of livestock. This class of animals includes cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry.

For example; Poultry farming.

Poultry farming is quite profitable in the sense that it gives good returns for the amount invested, the time and energy spent on it and the labor employed in it.

It requires less investment compared to rearing other livestock. It requires only around 50,000 on fixed capital and rearing of about 100 chickens.

Chicken start laying eggs 8 to 10 weeks and the broilers can be sold for meat between 6 and 10 weeks.

Broilers intake of feed is very low compared to other livestock while it produces maximum possible amount of food for us. Poultry is capable of utilizing as its feed large quantities of byproducts like bran, substandard grains, vegetables etc. which normally go as waste, thus saving for the farmer a portion of his expenses towards poultry feed.

 Poultry farming is a continuous source of income, it is not seasonal and can produce income for the entire year.

While chickens lay eggs between 6 to 8 months, broilers take only 6 to 10 weeks to bring in income. Meat, eggs, feathers and manure of chicken and broilers are all saleable and income generating. Poultry farming in a small scale requires only minimum space and they can be reared even in the backyards of homes.

Poultry farming requires very little water for both drinking and cleaning. One litre of water is sufficient for 5 birds for a day.

Poultry droppings are rich in nitrogen and organic material and hence, are considered valuable as fertilizers.

If a small scale poultry farmer is making 4 times what he puts in as a starting capital. Let's say using 50,000 to rear 100birds(broilers and layers) and getting an output of 250,000 minus the loses incurred during the production process 

The more your capital, the more your profit.

Aquaculture and fishery

Fish farming involves commercially raising fish in tanks or enclosures such as fish ponds, usually for food.

It is the principal form of aquaculture.

Benefits of fish farming

Fish is Source of Protein

Fish Contains Omega-3

Fish Sells Quick

Fish Matures Quickly

No Environmental Hazard

Fish Farming is Profitable and can make you a millionaire within a year: With proper planning and good management, N500, 000 investment in fish farming could easily result to N2 million of pure profit within one year. 

So in 5 years we will be getting abt 10,000,000 profit.

The more your investment the more your profits within a year. 

These are some of the courses in the University that are mostly underrated by majority of Nigerians, so if any of your wards, friends or even relatives gets admitted to study any of these courses then be rest assured that a diamond is about to be discovered.
