(1) Job versatility - Engineers are versatile and can be found in every industry in Nigeria. Name it - oil and gas, banking, insurance, aviation, civil and construction works, mineral resources, HR, transportation, etc. Engineers are the ONLY profession where theur skills are needed in all industries. You will find mech/elect engineers even in general hospitals.

(2) Knack for passing job aptitude tests - Due to the rigorous training engineering students go through, they wired to excel in all forms of job tests and inteviews. the very nature of engineering courses enhances one'a analytical and technical skills whixh is required in most job tests and interviews. No wonder engineers excel more than any other profession in job tests.

(3) Access to more local scholarships - All major scholarship schemes in Nigeria incorporate engineering courses. As a matter, engineering students are usually given more preference in oil and gas scholarships - Mobil,Chevron/Agbami, Shell, Agip, Total, MTN foundation, etc. These coys are mainly engineering companies with preference to professional courses such as engineering and medicine.

(4) Access to foreign scholarships - You wanna school abroad after your university education free of charge? Engineering is still your best bet. Try PTDF foreign scholarship, Mobil, Total IFP scholarship, Agip, etc.
Besides, most scholarship programmes sponsored by US & Canadian schools are available to engineering graduates. It's easier for engineering graduates to get direct scholarship to Masters/PhD programme in American universities than any other profession.

(5) Key to National Development - Forget what APC or PDP are telling you about recession. The key to Nigeria's development is technological advancement & growth, and it is the responsibility of engineers to drive this smiley Buhari has been talking about infrastructural development - road, railway, power, etc. The task still falls on the engineers to drive infrastructural development. smiley

(6) More job opportunities for engineers - There is simply more opportunities for engineers all around the world.If you are a good and well established engineer, you can never lack jobs all arpund the world. I can't say that for to other professions (maybe except Medicine) but I can guarantee it's a fact for engineering.

(7) Pathway to independence & Entrepreneurship - It's damn easy to be a an engineering consultant after acquiring some solid years of experience. Engineering consulting is still on of the most flourishing business in Nigeria.
