As a just graduating engineering student or still in school studying it is wise if you know what the society have for you and what you can offer to the development of ur state. what re you studying or what have you studied ?

i'm answering for a friend,he studied petroleum engineering

Engineers are versatile. They are not streamlined, or confined to just Engineering. I studied Chemical Engineering, but working in a StockBrokerage firm, and really doing pretty well in it. That does not mean I won't love to practice Engineering, on the contrary No, I want to practise it with a Business Analytical mind.

I like that "Versatile Engineers"....

I want comments and want you to air your views on how engineering can be improve in Nigeria

cant say cause he is still serving

in your understanding what do you know abt engineering

Engineering is a art more than science. It is the ability of you to explain why and how the world was designed in a paper form using construction

Although the importance of hard work cannot be overemphasised in any chosen profession, experts have said that studying some particular degrees will not only give you an edge in the job market, it also determines the amount of income you take home at the end of the day.
For example, in the oil and gas sector, petroleum, mechanical, chemical and electrical/electronics engineers at an entry level earn as much as N3.5m per annum, depending on the organisation.
Other high paying engineering fields include software engineers and computer engineers who employ IT skills, whether they are in the oil and gas sector or the telecommunication sector. They stand to earn as high as N400,000 per month for a start, and it could increase to about N5m to N15m per annum, depending on the years of experience.
A fresh engineering graduate in the oil and gas sector could earn between N7m and N9m per annum, which goes higher to about N12m or N15m per annum after five years of experience.
engineers in the oil and gas sectors earn the same salary, notwithstanding the area of specialisation at the entry level, until they undergo in-house training graduates with non-engineering courses like computer science, information technology, software programmers with professional certifications which include JAVA, CISCO, ORACLE and other networking skills working in the telecommunications companies would get between N200,000 and N750,000 as starters.
An Oracle specialist, database programmer, manager and software experts with five to 10 years’ working experience in a telecoms company will earn between N5m and N15m per annum.
Suffice to say, all the aformentioned top earning degrees have one thing in common ––mathematical skills.
