The answer may seem obvious- work within ur strenght zone, enjoy wat u do. But pple, dis is Naija. Its d survival of the fittest. We've seen 'doctors' in banks and 'engineers' in customer care. So, i ask again. Do i stick to my Godgiven talents or do i follow d course of my first degree?

Unfortunately the environment in Nigeria does little to nurture innate talent.
So it is difficult to say you should work with your natural abilities. In Nigeria, there is even very little opportunity to discover and develop your natural abilities. But I would still say, give it a shot if you can.
