i am a final year biochemistry student of ahmadu bello university,zaria.please can anyone advice me on the good areas that i can specialise during my masters degree?

Why do you feel you need a "masters"--so soon?

Would you not like to work for some time before you go for your "masters"?

Everybody in naija is just crased about paper and degrees, it's not even funny. Imagine a final year student who's thinking of going for his/her masters but has no clue what area to specialise, and where does he/she look for clues? Nairaland; Wow!

I can't understand it maself.

What in the world will make anyone be thinking of a "masters" when you have not even worked in any specialty area to determine if that is what you want to do?  Like you said, this paper craze is a malady in Nigeria.  Over here, look at people like Larry King, Peter Jennings (R.I.P.), Bill Gates, Sean "Moon Face" Hannity and so on and so forth--all were college drop outs or had only a high school (secondary school) diploma and still made it in life with their hard work and God given talents. 

Here on this thread, we have a typical Nigerian dilemma---you are about to graduate and you have no idea why you went to school in the first place.   Then you want to jump into masters--then Ph.d--and so on and so forth without ever specializing in any of the fields of study. To crown it all, you came to Nairaland with a bunch of people in the same boat to ask for advice?  I don't know if people just do not care anymore.  No sense of direction at all.

Na waa ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Please don't be annoyed--- ---Go and sit somewhere and really plan what you want to do with your life.  I sincerely think you are drifting.  That is not a good feeling--never has been.

Chai!  I love Nigerians!

No blame her abeg.

Naija job market is so competitive that people almost feel their first degrees are useless.

what areas of biochem did you enjoy in school? Tell us your own interests and then we'll see if that can be directed into a useful specialization.

  he he he he he he he!  Darling, I just came back from work okay?  And I am about to hit my bed.  You can come and smell my pussy there if you wish.  I did not take a shower.  Just for you--the way you like it!   Here, have a sniff in anticipation!  After standing for 12+ hours, you can imagine that the laws of osmosis and diffusion will be in the direction of your mouth and nose. You can be ma douche pot!  Boy! Am I ovulating too or what?   You know what that means if you have ever seen an ovulating Agenegbode pussy before.   

Look at this beast--looking for my pussy all over Nairaland!

I say you have to pay me a lot of money to sniff it!  Useless boy!

You will soon get tired!  Idiot!

HAMMER HOUSE OF HORUS HORRORS! LEAVE ME AND MY HONEY SMELLING PUSSY ALONE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!

Ehen jo!  Better person!  In fact the situation is terrible.  How can a country so blessed be so disorganized?  After studying a major course like Biochem--then you come out and start floating around while people who studied linguistics and edo studies are working in breweries and pharmaceutical companies. The only option this poster has is to just burst the whole programme since no where to work in Nigeria--or take up a teaching appointment.

There you go---

@poster--the only place you can end up is a masters in education. Hmmmmmmmmmmm! What a waste!

I just don't get it!

i thought i was trying to fetch good ideas from people that have brains in their skull.what i realise that you people are having upstairs is concrete mixed with stones, gravel and rods.if you doubt my knowledge of biochem,bring your stupid selves to my lab.i ll clone you like a sheep which you are and your duplicate may even be beautiful or hansome than you, Gambian goats!

Why dont u start by cloning ur empty brain to a specialized one? That wud have been one less stupid thread on NL!

can't laugh enough.

I'm loving this!
@poster
you asked a question didn't you? you are getting replies,so why are you flying off the hook?

You have not graduated from what i gather.So why do you have to bother so soon about an MSC? Since you have a lab,what else do you want? Having a lab means you can also be an employer.
Getting an MSC soon after is really not ideal,especially if you do not know what you want to specialise in. You had better sit down,put on your thinking cap,and hold very crucial discussions with your older siblings if any. You may not get this on nairaland. This is your future too you know,so it'll pay off better if you are not in much of a hurry. I made lots of money over here without a master's degree you know. It's the same for lots of people too.
It's not just paper qualification that counts.That hardly counts anymore. Digest your first degree before you leap into another. If you want to be a lecturer,then you can even go for PHD after this.Degrees are gloated over if you want to venture into lecturing or any other academic field.

Yes, people here are all correct. You might even find out that if you work for a while after you graduate, you will not only find out what area to specialize but you might also find out that you dont like what you are do. So you might develop interest in another field,

Since you are in your last year, you should really think over it and know within the course you are studying the area that interest you the most.

Good Luck

Anyway, I hope you got your answers here!

He will need a stable supply of electricity over there and PHCN cannot guarantee that. 

I laughed so hard at his response I started crying.

Chai!  Nigerians and their bad mouths fingers!
