Real Estate sector is growing tremendously in Kenya, translating to the growth of real estate careers. If you pursue a course in real estate, alongside CFA,I promise you won’t earn less than Ksh150,000 per month.

I will encourage you to start looking for a school offering this course, even now. We are living in a fast growing world where companies are coming up with innovative technology to make transaction and business more optimal. Software engineers are required to perform programming for development of softwares and applications.
Companies like IBM, Google, Facebook, Safaricom and other will come for you if at all they realize you are top of the game. Your salary will definitely be not less than Ksh250,000
Actuarial Science+professional papers
Actuarial science is still glamorous but you need to add professional papers offered by the Society of Actuaries or Institute of actuaries so as to realize the full benefits of the course.
Actuaries work in the insurance companies and actuarial firms, they model risks, pension payments and trends in businesses. Their salaries are extremely good, especially when they have the required professional certificates.
Bachelor of Law
Lawyers too earn good salaries but the pay comes after they practice for some time, say 5 years. Lawyers like Donald Kipkorir, Paul Muite, Patrick Lumumba,Ahmedinassir and Cliff Ombeta make a fortune out of their work. In this profession, you can make up to Ksh30 million per month.
Bachelor of Architecture/Quantity Survey
These two courses go hand in hand. If you study architecture, no doubt you will be successful, if you study quantity survey you will too be successful.
Do you know designing a house like UAP towers, which cost over Ksh5 billion will earn you 10 % of the total cost of constructing the house?!!!!!
Bachelor of Economics and Finance/Bachelor of Economics and Statistics+CFA
Don’t pursue any of these courses if you are not planning to pursue CFA, you will be frustrated. Immediately you enroll for bachelor of economics and finance, start thinking on how you will tackle CFA,which is global hot cake.
Bachelor of economics and statistics is also good but it needs some ingredients. To make it more interesting, add CIFA,ACCA or CFA.
