A Minimum Of Second Class Hons. From Any Discipline?

Tuesdays and thursdays are special days for Nigerian job seekers.Y?Tuesday and thursday guardian Newspaper.

Withing the last few years I have noticed that Banks,Manufacturing Companies and even accounting firms like KPMG,PWC, Delloite etc.Recruit across board i.e all discplines more especially if they specify 2:1.

Gone are the days when the Banks are meant for Management Science gradautes.Infact Banks now employ Science and Engineering Graduates more than other fields probably because they are better numerically and hence perform better in aptitude tests.

Also take for instance in Accounting firms like KPMG,PWC and DELLOITE have you noticed that a good no. of Trainees have Engineering backgrounds.But have you also noticed that when you see Graduate trainee vacancies in Engineering and Petroleum Companies, they most often specify Engineering/Geosciences.

When you come to Schorlaships like PTDF it is still mostly Engineering/Geosciences.Does this now imply that Engineering/Science disciplines are now more lucrative than management sciences like Accounting, Economics, Banking & Finance, Bus Admin, Marketing etc?

My good people what do you think about this matter?

The fact is Engineering/Technical/Science graduate have higher IQ, analytical abilities and numerical skills which help them to excel in aptitude tests.

More over the business world is changing.ICT has taken over.Todays banking operations are such that any smart or intelligent graduate irrespective of his/her discipline can perform well.

A couple of today's Bank Executives have Engineering and science backgrounds.All they did was to go for an MBA,ACCA,ICAN etc.Of which they also perform well.

So if you are a Management/Social Science graduate just buckle-up and compete with them.As for me all my kids will have to study the sciences to sharpen their IQ.

the fact is  that it is a trainee thing. open for all. science candidates would perform better because they are better in maths related questions. where business candidates despise.we can always do averagely in English questions. we have the capacity to think better in reasoning(s). then we we get in there, we get trained.

fabolous,
I  disagree with you in the sense that an average engineering Graduate has a better analytical and reasoning ability than social science or other field of endeavour. men you can't rule that out. However,God is the one that gives job, not your aptitude test or the excellent performance in interview.
I have an engineering background,I have written alot of aptitude tests and interviews since graduation,passed most of them,but could not get the job when i neded it badly. Now I work as a Wellsite drilling Engineer in one of the fastest growing E&P company in Nigeria.
finally,Fellow landers,just put in your best in the course of searching for job and your trust in God,He will surely do it for you,but at his own time. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE.
Cheers.
