Computer engineers like us switch jobs and i also agree with someone that said Nigerians like graduates from abroad. OP,just believe in yourself and Oh yes,engineering tops the list of best paid degrees! 1 Like |

People should stop generalising about what you don't know... Political science is part of social sciences and employment opportunities for political science graduate are numerous. Political science has six sub branches. They include public admin., international relations, local government studies,political theory, comparative politics and political economy... Political science graduate can work in any government establishment whether ministry,agency or department. There are opportunities for political science graduates in private establishments because all private establishments have administrative sectors.Also do not forget that we have ministries at the federal and state level... I agree that they are some courses in social sciences that are at disadvantage in term of employment opportunities like psychology, sociology, geography etc... I rest my case for now |

Raxxye: Abeg make una no vex o. Why is it that many Nigerian graduates these days cannot differentiate between The same reason why you decided to write "them" as "dem". If you must correct people's use of English then you must also use the language properly. Hope this helps! |

Gamji007:Fat lie,they are not the same and can never be the same,i think you've been clouded with the ascertion that studying electrical in the uni. is all about wiring or studying mechanical is all about fixing car tires. It more than that bro,an engineer is far different from a technician,if it's all about what you assumed it to be,there wont be any need of going through that five rigorous years of study in the uni. thereby companies wont need the service of Uni grad anymore,all they need do is to hire electricians for their I.T jobs and road side mechanics to design their machine and also as process engineers. Bro, engineering in the uni is more than screw-drivers and spanners. |

@Op & all, this is a systemic issue, nothing is working in Nigeria of today. There is no discipline, apart from those from the medical sciences, that is not affected by this unemployment saga, even Lawyers are lamenting. The truth is that there is a paradigm shift from job seeking to job creation. Our father's generation that benefited greatly from the industrial revolution should have acted with foresight by creating enabling environment for this generation, instead, they were busy politiking and partying. Thus, the onus in on us to think of whatever menial job (trading or apprenticeship) that we can do to empower ourselves and then engage in serious self-education towards our goals. No time, stop crossing legs, your kids will ask you what did you do to redress the situation when you discover that your father's generation have failed you. |

Engineersaare meant to be creative hence they are destined to be job creator not job seeker. Won't be surprised if statistics proved that engineers are the most unemployed graduates in Nigeria.

Well, IMO i don;t think its just engineers that are unemployed. I think the whole lot of Nigerian gradautes are unemployed save for a very small percentage. But then lets look at this in perspective.....the road side mechanic is probably better than the graduate mechanic until the graduate gets some experience, same for the road side electrician, road side mason compared to the civil engr and so on. Our schools don't train us to be ready from the day of graduation. Secondly, our corruption and mediocre/incompetent leaders have either frustrated the efforts of new industries from being established, while they have chased already existing ones away due to the constant harassment for bribes and contracts. Hence no industries.....no job for engineers (and others o) No quality after graduates, the few industries still remaining will definitely fight over the so many experienced ones that are available, since they have been laid off from other companies that have closed shop. 2 Likes |

Getting a Job as a fresh engineer seems hard dis days! Most engineering vacancies(mostly Civil) require 3+ experience n also majority of fresh engineers dat got employed, got it through connection(jobs were neva advertised). D mean thing is to look for a private engineer n b gathering experience unda him though d pay isn't much. 1 Like |

My Problem with Nigerian 'graduates' is that they don't take initiative! And that's why you will always look for jobs! Can you please show me a house that doesn't need electricians? A car that doesn't require the service of a mechanic? Now that more OBD cars are flooding Nigeria (and most quacks can't handle such vehicle), there's need for more professional automobile services. And our Engineers are looking for (office) jobs. Mtcheew! Nigeria has got to have the lowest number of self employed 'graduates'. And that's because most of them are dumb (I don't know if dumbness was taught in their own universities) and they refuse to see opportunities. I will never understand the reason why an Engineer should look for job in Nigeria! Never! If only you guys can drop your Ego and start working! Most Engineering fields do not require hefty and expensive machines to 'start'. Enough said! |

This is hilarious,is EEE about wiring?!!! I was wiring before I finished SS3 Have you ever heard of control systems,robotics and automation processes in industries like Bobo foods okay now that's engineering. Have you ever heard of heat engines,applied even in cars,furnace, turbines eg carnot cycle that's engineering. Have you ever head of load distribution and beam balancing? That is engineering What of digital electronic, bolean operations used in your fones, what of logic gates!!! That is engineering 5years no be childs play...an electrician,mechanic or a phone repairer is not cannot and will never be an engineer.
