I Want To Be An Engineer. by biggiedol: 1:31pm On Oct 10, 2014 |
Hello NL family How is life treating you friends? my good friends please i need your suggestions and professional advice on this issue bothering me. I have a B.Sc in Economics and statistics, but recently i developed flair to study engineering, but do to my age (am 32) am thinking it would be take too much time to get the certificate since it 5years course, so this is what i have thought of. Going back to university to do a part time program on Engineering course Going to Nigeria open university to do a part-time program on Engineering course so i had a chat with a friend he advice i do a Project management program (PMP) after that i do COREN and i would be certified to works as an engineer. So please friends is this possible or what do you guys think would be better idea. Please give a brother the best advice Thanks |

What's your science background like? Did you do advanced math, pyhsics and chem in secondary school? If you are very comfortable in math i'll say go for it, but not naija o, where age discrimnation is much more of an issue. Out in the west as long as you have ability and you have top grades you will be needed |

You don't necessary need to waste another 5 or six years in the varsity..why can't u start as a volunteer to the job u want..engineering is not being don't by correspondence because we that even studied interactively,we know how it was..my advice goes those:Start reading any materials u get across to on your area of interest; seek advice from able and experienced engineer;have a mentor etc |

@ OP, its never late to follow your dream. I all depend on d aspect of Engineering you have passion. Information Technology is a good area of specialization, you can go into Networking though having CCNA, CCNP will be an edge. I have a friend that read Economics @ d University back then, he now work with one of the top banks in nigeria as a Network Engineer. Just try to get a mentor in that field that can guide you bro.An Msc in Info Tech or ICT is not a bad idea too, but the Certifications and on the job training is a faster route. Remain blessed. |
