Advice Needed: Join The Millitary Or Become An Engineer by Elparaiso(m): 9:37pm On Dec 30, 2014 |
Hello N'LANDERS.... I greet o.. Please I need your advice... I'm a young man by many standards , I am going to start my 300 level by January and I'm in the chemical engineering dept of great UNIBEN.... My dilemma is that I do not know if I should pursue a career in engineering or if I should join the army when I graduate.... I would also like to know my prospects in the army and how army life take be...... Or how is the labour market for engineering graduands there.... I'm not one of those looking to land a shell,chevron or total job, I actually want a place where I could go on research (if actually they research in oil companies, pls gently correct me?.... And could I be a military engineer? Thank you very much..... #HappyNewYearN'Landers |

As an engineer in army, you will be respected and you will climb the ladder of promotion very fast You might get fat in the army because you may end up in the office |

DSSC is the direct short service course. Usually for graduates of the professions. Med, Engr, MLS, Nurses, I think clergy, etc. usually under age 26. If you were elect/elect, marine or mech, I'd prefer it. Chemical engr research & army, hmmmm, not sure if you'll get the kinda role within it. I may be wrong though. You may end up never seeing a lab again. Since you're very young & and have passion for research, graduate well n take higher degree/degrees. It's exciting times research wise for biochem, biochem engr & chem engr research in the West. Follow your passion. |

AreaFada2:Thank you sir..... I'm sorry for replying late.... So the military might kill my dream of lab work..... OK..... But what options are there for Chem engrs in the military?.. |
Re: Advice Needed: Join The Millitary Or Become An Engineer by AreaFada2: 8:58pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
Elparaiso:. I'm not really sure Sir, But as engnr, you can do other engineering work: the numeracy/maths skills are valued. Not necessarily chemical engineering. But you never know, the military might go in that direction. People like you can bring about that. In the US some of the most advanced research that later benefit everyone are done in the military. |

AreaFada2:Ok sir..... You have done well.... I just have to go into the military.... |
