I'm not jealous its just funny that's all,but d basic salary of an Engineer is alarming in the industry

nobilis:
I'm sorry to say but this is a really useless post.
It is this kind of comparison that is causing this friction between doctors and other health workers in public hospitals. You only look at the remuneration.

Now look at this:
1. When medical students study very hard during UTME and post-UTME aptitude tests in order to gain admission into universities, where were the engineering students? At least, we all know that the cut-off mark for Medicine is always higher than that of Engineering.

OP, did you protest that there is a lot of "GAP" in the admission requirements between the two courses of study?

No. You didn't.

2. When you go on end-of-semester breaks and the medical students remain in school (with no hopes of breaks), studying and doing their hospital postings, OP, did you protest that medical students are working in school while you're having the time of your life on Holz? Obviously you didn't.

3. When engineering students fail exams, they carry the courses over to the next session, while when medical students fail exams (depending on the degree of failure), they may have to drop a class and repeat the whole session.
OP, did you protest that you guys should be permitted to drop classes when you fail exams?
No, you didn't.

4. When you graduate after 5 years of study, and the medical students you gained admission with are still groaning under the weight of one professional exam or the other, did you protest that you should be made to spend more years in school? No, you didn't. You graduated with joy and happiness.

But now, you're protesting that doctors and health workers are treated more specially than engineers during NYSC years. Isn't that greed and injustice? You want Abraham's blessings to be yours but you don't want Abraham's sufferings and hardwork to be yours.

ILIDEFI:


I quite understand your point, even though I'm a health worker. It's truly unfair, not just for engineers, but all other professionals. The issue is that there are not enough govt owned engineering firms to absorb the numerous thousands of engineering graduates yearly. Mind you that corps members including doctors are expected to be employed majorly in govt owned institutions.
Even if they allow private engineering firms to start taking up engineering graduates, it may have a negative toll on future employment of engineers, as many firms will want to employ more corps members for cheaper labour. That will worsen the unemployment situation.
It boils down to the fact that Nigeria is not technologically driven. As more industries spring up, the demand for engineers will also increase, which will favour even corps members too.

Lmao. I just read the biggest shii in history. Last year. My friend in electrical engineering in my school manufactured an heat sensor sliding door like the ones u see in malls today.
It was his final year project with other three of his course mate.
When u won't Move with the right people. You keep carrying ur half baked education everywhere and constituting nuisance to the society.
Na la Liga and premiership dem go dey argue up and down bunch of ....

SHHHHH!SHE IS A LADY NT BRO.

drobadebayo:

Lol.i already figured jare.decided not to change it cos she z an engineer afterall

DrGroove:

Thumbs up! Na Architect wey follow doctor spend 6years for school suppose dey compete n complain not Engr. Yet they are humble. Anyway,empty barrels make loud noise.

DollyParton1:


Dude don't talk sh11t. MEDICINE IS NOT FIXED. Medicine is very dynamic. God heals? Yes I agree with you, but pls next time u need ur appendix removed just go to God in prayer.

governoragweven:
If medical students are strictly posted to hospitals for practice purpose, we Oil Students (PTI & FUPRE) should also be posted to Oil Companies too. Period!

Lolz..... After reading the comments here I realize that the already or aspiring Med guys are feeling like "Chairmen" pls don't get it twisted in naija we only enjoy God's grace and favor cos I've seen M.B.B.S doc strolling all round the state in search for job/placement after almost 8yrs of study. Just believe in yourself and be very much hard-working irrespective of the professional courses, if you believe it u can achieve it.

I don't get? Enlightening you about what?

XketchDesigns:

Do you work, have you also done the certifications? Which did you do? Have you done MSc?

dridowu:
@op, when medical student are busy reading during/after session , where are engineering student ?
Whe Doctors are busy at work during strike, public holiday and night duty, where are the engineers ?
Where are the engineers when the Docs are using part of their hard earned money to cater for some patients ?
Where are the NSE/COREN , when NMA/NVMA/NMDCN are disucssing the future with govt ?
Where are the engineers when the Docs are been woken up in the middle of the night to attend to their enemies/friends ?
Where are the enginners when the Docs have an accidental injury ?
Where are the engineers when the Docs are giving real bite from relation of the patient that dies ?
Guy, no time for story , just face your work and leave the medical field alone.
Jah Bless

ENGINEERS ARE SO VERSATILE!! BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING - We even came into the medical world. Engineers can never have zero knowledge of anything, even the so called medicine. We step into the business and art world, we conquer and take over the arena. Politics, we over take political science graduates and conquer. Accounts world, we top. check them all. Salary wise, we ball hard! OND-holder (technician) in our Oil/gas company earns like 1.2mill per month (salary +allowances) - which doctor earns this? That FG gave u some 80k and flimsy preference in the camp doesn't mean you are special. Enjoy this false feeling of superiority the FG gave you guys while it last. Very soon, doctors will be littered everywhere like lawyers are today. Before now, lawyers were people that talked so high of themselves. "the learned". na only them learn? now, table don turn. charge and bale full scatter everywhere like pure water packet. 10k/month salary to lawyers in chambers. before everyone wanted to be a doctor, now nothing is inviting there anymore. Our skills as Engineers are always needed everyday. per seconds, per seconds
