Hello, pls i need your advice. I am currently out of the country now and still in school for "Respiratory Therapist" I will be graduating in may 2011 and get my Masters in Public Health by 2012. My plan of pursuing the masters in public health is because i will be moving back to Nigeria very soon, maybe like in 10yrs with my family by God's grace. Is getting a degree in Respiratory Therapist and Masters in public health a good idea to earn a living in Nigeria? Or what would your advice be with my masters? i dont have to get the MPH but i need something that will be pretty universal and productive in a country like Nigeria.

I love things related to community awareness and disease preventions, We can all make a difference in the healthcare in Nigeria!

Thanks a lot!

U have made a good choice. emphasis on epidemiology will be an advantange. As a developing country,disease prevalency rate is still on the maximun,lots of NGOs are partnering with WHO and UN on this field,but Nigeria factor must be considered.

Thanks, thats actually my plan and i hope that helps.

Its nice if you are considering coming home..but you have to weigh your options. Most MPH graduates here in Naija are idle, i believe your state ministry of health would be able to absorb you in a worse case senario. Good luck

because i will be moving back to Nigeria very soon, maybe like in 10yrs with my family by God's grace

very soon?
