Am really confuse, all my life have never considered any other profession other than anything engineering because I love developing things from the scratch I.e I like to construct things like cars,planes, houses with waste materials, But with recent development, I discovered that I have a calling in architecture. but then I also discover that architects only design and go home but civil engineers are involved in every bit of the construction, and that is what I love doing; getting involved in every bit of the job.

Finally with the income aspect of it in nigeria which is more likely to end more or has more job opportunities.

civil engineering is a much better choice for you

op.. with architecture, ur designs are mainly on paper

civil... u get to understand strength of materials better, still do ur drawings and supervise ur technologists and technicians in building it.


choose ur choice
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by 2sex(m): 12:59pm On Sep 08, 2015
You can do both. But I will prefer you go for civil first and after that learn architecture
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by radesunbo(m): 12:59pm On Sep 08, 2015
As a civil engr, i would advise civil

Civil is the best thing that can happen to you

Its wider than you can imagine

Oppotunities are there in various specialization you choose to branch to

Sorry if i am biased sha

Civil it is
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by mayblow: 12:59pm On Sep 08, 2015
Both are great courses but it depends on your passion and location. What do you like, if it's architecture, then go for it but if it's civil, go for it. To make it in Nigeria as an Architect is not hard as long as you are patient and good at what you are doing. Civil engineers too make it in the country but not like their counterparts in most developed countries. The bottom line is this, if you have any plan of travelling out later, please go for civil engineering as this is much more appreciated in most developed countries, but if you plan staying here in Nigeria, try and go for architecture.
Bu above all, follow your heart and let your passion be your driving force.

Both the Architects and Engrs follow through the construction in ideal situations. Engineers also design. So it depends on what your heart goes after. Do not base your scope to construction of houses alone, maybe then you'll realize both fields are quite wide than you anticipate
Re: Pls Advise: Architecture Or Civil Engineering by Nobody: 1:00pm On Sep 08, 2015
Building things from scratch doesn't make you a good engineer. My friend learnt that the hard way.
If you're not top notch in mathematics and physics, I suggest you go for architecture or you will regret it.

U don't need seeking for job after graduation...u can alwayz be a boss on your own bt make sure are good at it.

Although studying Archi not easy bt I can assure u start making money as an undergraduate.
Architect....Do it in style.

All the same follow ur heart best of luck.

Rather than solicit for advice from a mixed multitude of educated individuals and otherwise why not seek advice from lecturers or student of the school of choice.I would love to advice but it is highly subjective.SEEK PROFESSIONAL COUNSELLING.

[b]Architecture! Architecture!! Architecture!!!

WHY ? Architecture is the best professional course you can ever study. Architects are the Second God because we create what we conceive !

WHICH COURSE IS LIKE UNTO THEE,
ARCHITECTURE? In school they see us
as the most hard working, simply because
ARCHITECTURE keeps us up most
nights. After school, while graduates of other professions
chase
after job vacancies, we tell Job Vacancies how much we
wish to be paid
if they want us to work for them, just because we are
ARCHITECTS. 1st
class? 2nd class? They are all brilliant. But an
ARCHITECT with a Pass
degree will keep you & your wife as staff in his office,
and on salary
- just because he is an ARCHITECTS. Even if we wish
not to work with
anybody, the jobs come right down to our door steps,
just because we
are ARCHITECTS. And while sitting at home, we make
an average of
100,000naira monthly because we are ARCHITECTS,
you think that's
simple? Then resign from your job and try sitting at
home for 4 days
if you ain't one; call me on phone when you've got
airtime. We can
even make an average of 30-40,000naira every 6days
by simply teaching
people softwares we know in ARCHITECTURE or being
involved in
architectural visualization, just because we are
ARCHITECTS. And for
simply scrambling a collection of lines on paper (which
70% of the
world's professors cannot interpret/read), we get paid;
just because
we are ARCHITECTS. We determine if your hometown/
village will find
development, just because we are ARCHITECTS. Those
skyscrapers and
famous buildings you have promised yourself to visit
before you die,
we built them, because we are ARCHITECTS. For
showing you what your
dream house will look like, we get paid even if you
eventually don't
afford to build it, simply because we are ARCHITECTS.
We do not need
CNN and the NTA Network News to tell people what we
do, every single
house we've designed does all the talking, because we are
ARCHITECTS.
The only profession where you work less (literally,
because you
dictate when to work) but earn more -
ARCHITECTURE. The only
profession that allows you to begin your day by 11am
every single day
but earn more than those who work 29hours (+5 ghost
hours) a day.

Go for civil engineering. It has a much wider scope than architecture and you learn the basics of architecture too. But only do this if you are good at Mathematics and Physics. Civil engineering will always produce job opportunities. But above all, go for what you are good at. According to your post, that would be civil

The truth is that they aren't even similar
Architecture is mostly about drawing and sketches
Engineering is mostly about construction and structural implementation

If you are very good in mathematics, physics then go for civil engineering
If you're average but love drawing, go for architecture

Architecture enables you start up a firm with little capital after graduation
Civil engineering enables you get a top notch job after months or years of searching

Do what gives you joy and happiness

You still in secondary school right?
