Many factors determine the student course of study in the higher institution, some people are 'technically' bar from studying some courses, not because they don't like it or not qualify but simply because one of his/her sibling has already studied it. Example, if your brother is a lawyer, you may be bar from also becoming a lawyer. Will you accept that?

What matters is what you have passion for.

Exactly.

Are you guys saying that if you have a passion fro something, you should drop it because your sibling has passion for the same thing? Why can't your sibling drop it for you.

My father, sister and i studied same course. Kini big deal?

Is there anything wrong with that?

It all depends on our passion, often times our passions are influenced by those we see as our role models which may be our parents or our elder ones and we tend to follow their footsteps. I've seen a family which 2 of their children studied computer science, other 2 studied computer engineering and the only girl studied elect-elect and they are all doing very well.

I studied same course as my sister. There is absolutly no big deal in it!

What about you,will you go for same?

if i have passion for d profession i will. Presently am working as an account officer of which i studied marketing. Now i have fallen in love with d accounting profesion 2 d extend that am planning for my ICAN. The love for d profesion is what matters

[size=16pt]I thought about it, almost studied architecture, but I gave it some serious thought and realised its not for me, its for people with charisma and charm, out going that kind of thing! Electrical I ddnt because my bro studied it, so I felt its somehow to have two electrical in the house.. Am glad that I thought in that way and didn't study electrical..[/size]

@OP, I really hope you're a dropout 'cause if not, you should be "bar" from "studies" English.

100% Right.

Notin is wrong studin d same course has ur siblings. An uncle of mine is a lawyer n 2 of his children r lawyers while 1 is stil in sch studin d same profession.
Although i studied agric eng'rin, 2 of ma siblins are studin agricultural related courses... So no big deal. It will only remain a big deal if we dont hv a multimillon dollars agricultural establishment in d near future.

There is nothin wrong wit it..In some cases it may even be to τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ advantage of τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ family...Lyk setting up a clinic dat can be run by a family filled wit medical professionals...My bro is studyin medicine,I m studying Optometry...I knw a family that all τ̲̅ђε̲̣̣̣̥ children are studyin Accounting...Nothing dey sup

@Topic, I won't. It's just cool to have different professions in the home, where everyone is their own boss. And about having passion for something, yeah! But it's not only on one thing, we could have passion for lots of stuff.

Why? Will study it...

am studing socoilogy jst like one of my family menber did.so nting bad in its

Yes I did - with my siblings and my father.

No. But this is what I want.

Father - General medicine
Mother - Gynecologist
1st born - Dentist
2nd born - Ophthalmologist
3rd born - Surgeon
4th born - Pediatrician
5th born - Cardiologist
6th born - Haematologist
7th born - Medical school (psychiatrist)

At least we're not in the "same medicine".

...and who is anyone to stop me from mine?

@op no big deal

It always common in foriegn country but in Naija its rare.

olawalebabs: ok, what is the difference between 6 and half a dozen.

(Figure) 6 is a number while "half a dozen" is a phrase.

@OP, my 2 elder brothers and I studied the same course.

Funny enough, the scenario is similar for me.
