If he is a true people's person,let him opt for HR....but if he enjoys technical stuff,IT would be the best bet...In my opinion they are both marketable!!i hope he will make the correct choice!

whether to choice either of one. will depend on your taste and preference,hence do you have a passion of a carer to pursue.
both courses are of market value. follow the passion in you and choice one.

Back in my school days,we were being advised NOT to apply for university courses in computer science or anything related to computers. The reason was that there were only two computers in Kenya...one at the central bank and the other at KPLC...and both had operators...so the only two computer operator jobs in the country had been filled!!!

By the time I graduated (three years later),there were thousands of computers and not enough operators...so anyone with computer knowledge was highly sort for and commanded a very large salary!!

Today; a 'computer' qualification alone will get you nowhere!! Knowing to use a computer is like knowing how to write!! No wonder we call it 'computer literacy'

What am I trying to say? What is marketable today will not be so marketable by the time you graduate!! So,go with your heart. Ask yourself what you really truly enjoy doing. What would you willingly do for no pay? Nay,what would you pay for an opportunity to do!!?

It is probably neither IT nor HR.

@john maina,

get what your heart wants and not what you are told to do.
My own experience.....I did what my dad wanted then and not what I wanted.Today,I am doing evening classes for what I feel suits me and what I wanted.......passion.

@Njung'e - The key word here is final year student.

@ojowida - Rule Number 1 of Campus Rioting (if you must) - Do not throw books and read stones. Always throw stones and read books.

IT or HR is neither here nor there. It boils down to interest and career objectives.

@ njung'e,the guy deals with crops and so has a way with crops and their language..he may not communicate well with human beings..he could be a very good farmer who will require the services of an interpreter..an opportunity beckons for entrepreneurs..

They say 'kizungu ilikuja na meli'...how so true it is!

@jonminah
Passion is what drives people in life,if your buddy chose HR just coz he thinks there is cash in hr,he will always be stressed if that is not where his heart and interest is. Afuate roho yake...

Haiya! These days you need a degree to protect crops?

Soon, NCC askaris will go to UK to study B.Tech in Vehicle Immobilisation at Leeds College! It costs only £4,800/- and can be completed in 6hours!

@ Ojiwada - Are you a relative to Ojinga?

@ Jonminah - Let the guy/lady do what they like to do. That is what will give satisfaction.
Lord, thank you!

There is no Urgency in Career. Keep this two things in your mind

1. Professional qualification

2. Academic qualification

Those two will take you to the job market but what will keep you is competency

@Jonminah,what do YOU mean 'Njunge what do you mean'???? WTF???? Can you not read? @Njunge,its actually an Anglo-Sino dialect of Mandarin.....but you choice which it might be - I can't choose a make or make a choose.


At whoever posted this topic....WTF? Its like asking to compare the liver and the kidney - aside from being a diploma from a university....WTF else can you use to compare the two....morgue attendant or matatu tout? mkokoteni pusher or potato farmer? if you were asking abt whether to do an HR diploma from A or B...then maybe you are counting oranges and oranges and not oranges and fruit.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@Sasha - I did a quick Google on Bsc Crop Protection - I must say its quite engaging and has as considerable practicals like medicine. Some materials cited include gum poles,fencing posts,nails,scarecrows,etc smile
