oh.... Thanks for replying. I think you're a microbiologist

B.Sc Microbiology doesn't make one a microbiologist. It means you studied Microbiology. It takes getting @ least a PhD in Microbiology for one to call oneself a Microbiologist (so I was told by one Prof in an interview I attended with my M.Sc Microbiology certificate).

giftforlife9:


am in my ond reading slt, can i switch to industrial chemisty through direct entry?

Go for this with all your pawa and might.

Karleb:

u mean i should go for industrial chemistry?

giftforlife9:


u mean i should go for industrial chemistry?

Yes!

Infact, I'd advise you to choose a school that offers pure and industrial chemistry.

TheSonOfMark:


I'm a final year student of Microbiology currently working on my Medical Microbiology project topic.
Medical and Industrial Microbiology tops the list. Last year I did my SIWES programme at a hospital in PH city and boy! it sure did open my eyes.
Med. Microbiology is at par with Pharmacy and Medicine when it comes to employment opportunities or self-employment. And we are accorded nearly as much respect as medicine student though.
By the way, even medicine students sometimes end up majoring in medical microbiology. I nearly chose biochemistry, I'm glad I didn't.

Hello brother,in which school do u study?

Karleb:


Yes!

i knw ind chem. is very rich but the job oppurtunity is very scarce

That's a lie!

If ind. Chemistry job is scarce then BCH and MB jobs are scarcer.

YEAH BUT MICROBIOLOGY IS NOT SCARCE

Waoh... Thanks for this. So according to your experience as a MB Student. Do you think its better than BCH?

In one of the federal universities in the Southsouth. Which are you in?

Are you Akaninyene? I've this inkling you are. Maybe I'm wrong.

It all depends on what you want to be in life. I always wanted to be a lecturer (mission accomplished), so I could have studied any course provided I continue to at least PhD (which I did). If you want to work in the hospital/lab then go for SLT/MCB/BCH + NISLT. If you want to be in the industrial sector then Chemistry is better. But if you have people in high places then study any course, you can get any job. All things being equal professional courses are better (BCH/MCB r not professional courses) but u can always take certificate courses to professionalize. Get additional certificate(s), beside 1st degree and u'll always have advantage over others (all things being equal).

Chemistry is better than MCB and BCH while MCB is better than BCH but you can go for BCH if you really wanted medicine but couldn't get it.

what are your challenges

2fine2fast:
Microbilogy is better. You have a lot of options after graduation, food microbilogy is one very applicable branch of mcb at least in Naija. In mcb you work with things that you can see and touch. Studying Bch in Naija is simply wack, it is simply that a "CRAMMING TRAINING", and it is like that in almost all schools. It is so stressful and it is not worth the wahala. In Nigeria, a microbiologist can do everything that a biochemist can do; but a biochemist cannot do all a microbiologist can do. I am a Biochemist.

Sir please stop deceiving yourself. A microbiologist cannot do everything a biochemist can do. Also BCH is richer than MCB.

nwapastor:

Thanks so much! I don't want Med... I don't really like it. Its not that I'm not brilliant. Pls what are professional course? and also, is it true that MCH is richer than MCB? Thanks!

What is MCH? A professional course is a course you can practice when you graduate like law, medicine, medical lab, physiotherapy, optometry, dentistry, teaching (NCE, BEd), Engr, Journalism (Mass Com), Theater arts, pharmacy, nursing etc On graduation, you get the license to practice. Like I said before after 1st degree one can always go for professional trainings /certificate courses with that one can practice any course these days.

Michaellegend:

i know BCH is richer than MCB but talking about job opportunity i think i will give to MCB because nigeria have not get to the level of practicalizing BCH for now

adebayor1490:

YES and a happy one.

giftforlife9:


am in my ond reading slt, can i switch to industrial chemisty through direct entry?

yes. My course mate did.

the two has little job prospect most especially biochemistry
..why not go for a professional course?

Samgreguc:

yes. My course mate did.

thanks alot i will definitely do it

Drdonzeez:

professional as in, Give example please tnk u

medicine,Dentistry,pharmacy,medical lab. sciences and nursing sciences...I can bet it that those five careers have great job prospect most especially medicine and Dentistry.

bro am really really confuse oh, one is saying i should go for mcb, while the other is saying bch and anoda say i should switch to industrial chem. In university driect entry. You now as a mcb, what are your aims?

i wanted to go for medicine but jamb Bleep me up

you can try Dentistry....the BDS degree is rated the same with MBBS...they are regulated by the same body MDCN,they form the same associations NMA and MDCAN..they are on the same salary structure..most Nigerian students are shortsighted...they think all a Dentist knows is the teeth....Google is your friend bro
