Hi, i
scored 250 in my Jamb and i opted for
industrial mathematics.....i took this
decison rather blindly.....people keep asking me why i didnt go for any of the engineering courses instead mathematicswhat i do give as an answer is 'that there are so many engineers already'...but am beginning to have a rethink all i know is the job opportunities for an engineer although not all, but for a mathematician i know just
one which is "lecturing". Please what really does a mathematician have with respect to job opportunities against the engineers... Thanks i appreciate ur reply

My brother no Course is irrelevant.
An industrial mathematics graduate with a 1st class or 2:1 has an edge in d job market over an Engineering graduate with a 2:2.
Several companies recruit any descipline & what dey often consider are grade and age.
Studying mathematics will boost ur numerical skills which will really boost ur scores at job aptitude tests.

So if u are offered Industrial Mathematics make sûre u graduate with at least a 2:1 & dat will boost ur chances of securing a good job.

from ur statement it means an engineer with 2:1 or first class has an edge over a mathematician with 2:1 or First.. did I decode what you meant correctly ?

thanks for the reply, it was what I really needed.. m having pume in uniport Saturday next week

There are usually more job openings for Engineering positions bt as u rightly pointed out there are numerous engineering graduates hu are to compete for those positions.
I had wanted to study Chemical Engineering bt was offered Geology.Bt at job aptitude tests i competed with mostly engineers. Mathematics graduates work in several sectors: Banking, Telecoms, Oil & Gas,Auditing firms,manufacturing etc. Just do ur self d good of graduating with at least a 2:1.

Success in ur PUME.

whoa...this an eye opener, thanks alot for the contribution / advice.
was like as if am in the office of a guidance and counselling officer

someone told me this too and also added that if I should go for engineering after doing maths i would be a better engineer, he explained dah a very good engineer has a good maths foundation
