My Advise *You sound intelligent, I believe u will do well if you put your mind to it and be ready to stomach mockery and insults for the initial part of the apprenticeship. * Don't dump your B.Sc, you may and probably will still need it very soon. God Bless. 1 Like |

Welldone for the courage of sharing your thoughts in the open. Be assured that the situation you are faced with now is only temporal and that your decision and the steps you take will add up to determine what the future holds. Applying to become an apprentice will make you more skillful; one of the traits that many employers look out for. Therefore, going ahead to become an apprentice, takes nothing away from you, it rather adds value to you. While you are at the training, draw up the next steps.

SternProphet: It is abysmal, the depths to which we have sunk. This country has gone beyond failure. It is very difficult to even begin to advise the OP because his mind and thinking are so far out there, and you can see from the responses that most of the 'advisors' are no better. Sad. |

otswag: If his boss knows that he is a graduate, I believe that he will be respected and treated better. Why? Because many of these artisans too have children schools. They know what it takes to be a graduate because they are taking care of one or more students financially. 1 Like |

I want to quickly tell you that you have taken the best decision please start the injector repair tutorial immediately. My experience, I owned a mack truck before now, and from my studies and researches, the biggest issue heavy duty trucks in Nigeria has revolves around FUEL SYSTEM(injector). If the injector that comes with the truck gets bad, our Nigerian mechanics does not have the right equipment and knowledge to CALIBRATE the injection pump and the injectors. For the engine to have maximum performance, there is a quantity of diesel that must be injected into the combustion chamber. If this is not done, ripple damages will set in over time which include power loss, ring wear, smoking, excessive diesel consumption etc. To cut the long story short, if you can make a difference as a graduate then it is a wordy venture. Good luck |

xtophy: Guy, u are on point.....People form advisers upandan without dishing out something meaningful. As a graduate that has nbdy to depend on, becoming an apprentice is very difficult not to talk of being a mechanic. Do they even knw hw long it takes to be grounded as a mechanic??.....its more than 3yrs of which b4 that time elapses, the work fit don tire you sef. OP, dnt allow any1 to decide for you, Go for what you feel best for yourself....But for me, i wouldn't learn mechanic rather I will go and learn how to sell the auto parts....Mechanic work no easy ooo.. 1 Like |

cc GAZZUZZ the real question is do you have a passion for it or are you going into it as a 'hustling' matter? if its hustling, you may soon see another ''opportunity'and jump into that. what do you plan on doing that will make you stand out from the other mechanics that ply the road? education is not about paper certs per se, but altering your thinking. do you plan on doing anything differently, or do you also want the quick money of fake spare parts and shoddily done 'customer must return' repairs? 2 Likes |

It will not be a bad decision but you need to decide if you want to stay an apprentice or go further and develop more skills. I know a company, a Nigerian company that pays its mechanic over 3,000,000 a month. This is minus house rent and allowances. There is a high demand for skilled mechanics and that company is looking for another. |

ewa20buredi100:If you really have the interest go for it, my husband has MSc in bio-chemistry but is mechanic work that is putting food on our table. He did a course online about automatic gear, it cost about 25k, and he also learn from the road side for 3month, while learning he downloaded cars manual so before working on any car he goes through the manual and have scanning tools. It's very tedious but it pays well. 2 Likes 1 Share |
