Sorry if it's the wrong place to post this!

I have been a lover of computers from my childhood days, grew up loving them, and still loving them. After graduating from the secondary, I applied for admission for four times and was never admitted, but I decided to try a one more time and was admitted. I applied computer science and was admitted into department of mathematics. I've not actually been good with mathematics since primary school. I knew it well that computer is mathematics itself but that of computer is a logical mathematics that is applied to real life solving of problems. Unlike the normal mathematics we solve on the board and ends up not having a physical life application. I just ended my first semester exams and then planning on going back to school for 2nd semester. I have been coding for the past 5-6 years since the age of sixteen in fact, I even take some programing tutorials to some of my friends in computer science department. I thought myself programing and with the raw talent in me, I learn code fast. I've been writing so many programs and currently building a CBT test system with some advanced features. This is my gift and talent, it's my call and I love programing. I want to apply for a change of course while going to 200L. I don't know if I have any chances of getting to my desired passion of career. I don't want to do what I don't have passion for as it will lead me to frustration given that the whole world is going digital now. I don't want to have any regret in life. I told myself That even if I graduated with a Bsc computer science and has no job, I'll feel fulfilled and accomplished as it's my passion and what I love doing. I made some contacts and some guys in school told me that it'll require a huge connection.

Please Dear nairalanders, help me in my career prospects.

Mathematics and Computer science are close brothers...
How come you like one and can't cope with the other

Go ahead

You will need a first class result.... Money and good connection


UNIBEN is 50k

But you can still use second class upper

Nice move. Do anything you can to switch to your passion. You'll be glad you did. Sadly, I have no idea how the Nigerian school system works. Though, I have a BSc. in the course you're planning to study.

Next time, put your post in paragraphs. The only reason I read it to the end is because it's related to my passion and skill. I hate posts in blocks and no paragraph.

Op please make a point of familiarizing yourself with correct punctuations and also paragraphing your write ups to make it easier for we readers to digest.

Apologies, I'll take note! Thanks a lot

Most computer science graduates cant write programmes. All they learn is theories.

If you don't like your course, please quit it. This isn't the time to waste your time and years on any thing that won't add value to your life. You can simply go enroll for a two year diploma programme in software engineering at a technical institute near you.

Then again, mathematics teachers are in high demand. Something to think about

Hey OP, send me a message.
I know a thing or two about Software Engineering.
I also know a thing or two about career and schooling dichotomy

Make sure ur cgpa is nt less dan 4.0 wen u wat to do change of course.Gudluck
