Ramos16:I know so many of you are still crazy for university degrees without valuable skills. I think you know the number of graduates are roaming the streets looking for jobs. Degrees without basic skills needed by employers are just meal tickets. |

ASHTAROTH:You already have a solid foundation in Electrical Engineering. Chances of working in all manner of sectors is very high. Starting afresh with nursing might come with some struggles academically. Also, nursing will restrict your working chances after graduation to few sectors. 1 Like 1 Share |

I wish I could see this thread on time cos comment outside the 1st page doesn't get as much outreach. My advice for your Op, is that you should go for engineering degree. Do not be limited to what is obtainable in Nigeria. As someone that had post secondary education in Nigeria before leaving over 3 yrs ago, you can never go wrong with an engineering degree. Nursing degree is great but no matter what, you will always be a second fiddle to doctors in medical field. However, with electrical engineering degree (which I believe is one of the most versatile engineering degree) you have a good shot working in many industries in Nigeria or going for your post grad program on scholarship outside naija in as much as you get 2.1 or better. Just my 2 cents for you. |

Bros don't be confused the Nigeria of 2day is not prepared at all for Engineers. D country is already saturated with that profession (Engineering). Opportunities on ground for engineers is on a ration 1: 1,000,000. Nigeria still has a long way to go as regards creating an enabling environment for Engineering graduates. But for Nursing forget it you will surely get a good job even in the U.S it's HOT CAKE!! |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by Nobody: 11:58pm On Nov 18, 2015 |

How I wish your pursuit of MBBS works.But alternatively you have a solace in going for MNSc. Grab this opportunity though you might need to go for your Midwifery if your wish is to be a practising Nurse.The sky is your limit when you come out of the university because there are waiting employment opportunities for you as soon as you are done unlike when you go for electrical program where you still need to hussle in the labour market. |

Sunnybobo3: Wow...interesting. I believe it was because I never had interest in nursing or as a man its not an attractive profession in that part of the world for men. Nursing is a very good and well respected profession. In America a lot of immigrant opt for it because it pays well and offer path to decent life. I often think about what would become of me when I decide to come back home; will I be able to find a job that could provide me a decent life in naija...I don't know how much they pay nurses in naija but from the little I have heard its not encouraging at all. |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by Nobody: 12:27am On Nov 19, 2015 |
gretblue:i quote you wrong oga for saying there is need to hustle when you out for school enginerring is one the hottest job in NIGERIA especially ELECTRICAL enginerring which has varieties of option like power, telecommunication, ELECTRONIC and instrumentation and having worked with few top companies during my 4 months and 1 year industrial training i will testify that why most people who claim to be graduate don't get employed is one incompetence, when i went for my first interview organised by one consultant company the first interview was mass interview we were up to 6 in the office, a computer enginerring student , a nurse, economist and other guys it was very funny that a nurse was asked a simple question that if a worker happened to be injured by a machine what will she do to ensure body and soul is kept together before further medical attention she couldn't even say something meaningful, the other computer enginerring guy was not able to differentiate between a diskette and a flash, i swear i was embarrassed not only when i later got employed i was very close to my HRM Sometimes people complain alot of on job opportunities when you need to see letter written by people who are graduate, cv`s that are poorly written sometime the don't even read them, the just pack them inside waste bin them tomorrow someone will say his fore fathers are after him 1 Like 1 Share |

I would say nursing because nurses are always in demand. You can basically travel to any corner of the earth and your skills would be needed. There are sooo many opportunities for you as a nurse...travel the world and be paid....NGO's...Military... even if you want to go back to live in the village...your services would be needed. You travel abroad...same thing and nurses there do not work for groundnuts! As an electrical engineer....a young fresh electrical engineer....now you tell me about your chances. |

I'm afraid if u go into nursing cos u'll b one of those causing chaos in d health sector as Nursing wasn't ur desire. Worse still, u wanted Medicine 4 consolation but cudn't get it. However, admission these days isn'twot u toil wt . I always advise pipe to accept wot they're given while pursuing wot they desire. I av classmates dat came back to 100L frm 300L. However, dat does not guarantee a safe sail thru d course u've opted for, as some still wtdraw afta waisting so much time |

Fact: Nursing = Abundance of Job (We have too few nurses in Nigeria) Elect, Mech, Comp, Agric engineering = Your faith in God for good job. |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by maleeks(m): 2:15am On Nov 19, 2015 |
Op i hope you know Elect/Elect aint easy...you have to be very good in maths, because when you start to they do laplace transform, fourier series, kirchof laws of i/v, thevenin, ruginkunta, mutilple integaral, and to crown it all electromag in class, whalai, i repeat whalai, you go dey ask yourself wetin carry com d dept...but at long run you will be far far better than a nurse when you start to dey earn, if you can study hard and graduate with good grade, you might specialize in either, 1-Telecomunications, which will give you the oppurtunity to work with tel companys mtn,glo,ncc,dstv and so so many 2-Power, with these you can work with oil companies if you can do somee safety courses and cert, 3-Control, infact na 4 schools get this option for naija, if your lucky to be in on of these schools, you will live like king if your opportuned to see job, life is control brother... Electrical is the best qoute me anywhere, we are needed in all sector, and industries even some companies you might not even think of...so please brother, i am advicing you as a brother to continue with EEE as good pay awaits you in multinational companies |

Nastydroid: Op go with EE since you are very good in it. May 1st class not elude you. Last Bullet: Which Northern state is that and how secure is the school? |

Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by defenda(f): 2:54am On Nov 19, 2015 |
1st your write up is very impressive. Well done. If I were in your shoes, I would go for what I have passion for, because with passion it would be easy to succeed. Then also pray about it too. All the best. |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by craigj: 2:55am On Nov 19, 2015 |
Bro, if naah abroad you get the admissions now, I for say nursing one time but since say naah naija, e depend shaa cos if you are good in maths and physics without shaking go do your engineering and make sure say you carry better grade comot. My take shaa oo.. |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by chubbyswit(m): 3:01am On Nov 19, 2015 |
op dont deviate from your true calling and passion just because you watched a tv show. The devil is fighting hard to stop you cos he knows that you'll b a great man. With just an hnd and u're already doing well, imagine the level you'll scale with a b.eng. Finish wat u started, advance yourself in your field and dnt deviate cos u might come to regret that decision later. Thats my best advice to you |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by Kirinwa: 3:12am On Nov 19, 2015 |
2undeee: So he can't start something with EE abi? Do you know the number of houses creeping up everyday that needs to be wired and other electrical breakdowns? Abeg. |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by BlackLeopard(m): 4:38am On Nov 19, 2015 |
I'd go for technical degree if I were you. You can always gain nursing experience through experience in a variety of fields, and by happenstance. You can't get technical experience the same way if lacking the proper education for it, or opportunities. Consider which career will be available to you even later in life; don't think just what you're passionate for now. Passions can, and do, change. Opportunities can be time limited. |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by BlackLeopard(m): 4:40am On Nov 19, 2015 |
rafcrown: You can get a lot of that experience from self studying and then volunteering in the actual care tho. And you can get that while repairing electricity everywhere, because accidents happen and injuries happen and you pick things up in the field itself, even without the school for it, if working in the technical areas. |

Go with ur passion! Cos d love u have for medicals myt die one day. Therefore I suggest u go with wat jolts u, Engineering. U still hv a workn experience in dt field, its a much added advantage. And for finances u said u cn pull tru with ur fees for 4yrs w/o help frm anyone, I think dts enof sign to me. There re many school of nursing around, wen u re tru with ur B.eng nd u stil hv dt love for medicals u could stil gv it a shot. No knowlege is a waste. D Lord is ur strength, I wish u the best! |
Re: Please Advice; Degree In Nursing Or Degree In Electrical Engineering by gabbytabby: 6:00am On Nov 19, 2015 |
If your intention is to stay in 9ja go for engineering but if it's abroad nursing. As the spirit leads. |
