Both are as useless as the p in psychology.


From an expert.

I tell you. Two hard yet useless courses. Op you had better go for pharmacy

imperiouxx:


Please be quiet. I studied Biochem BS in Nigeria and Biochem MS in U.S and worked as a Biochemist still in U.S. What else do I still have to know about Biochem that I don't know? Biochemistry everywhere is way way different from Microbiology. In fact, Biochemistry is mostly under Chemistry department in U.S.

Lol
You are asking me to keep quiet?
I'm actually a microbiologist and I realized that Being a good microbiologist, your biochemistry must be top notch as well.
If you are a microbiologist and your biochemistry is not at par or almost at, you have 50/100
I actually know you.

Hello guys , i would like to know which of these courses has more job oppurtunities as i was asked to select my second choic of study in the university i want to apply for? which of them has a greater chance of job oppurtunities in nigeria?

Better go for pharmacy or nursing don't waste your parents money on those courses don't say I didn't warn you

You're correct that a good microbiologist has to be good in biochem and visa versa but the concept taught in the two fields are different.... so we can't use that to say they are one and the same. In U.S there is no standalone Biochem department. Biochem falls under Chemistry and under the American Chemistry Society. The exception is at doctorate level where Biochem can stand alone as PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. So, Biochem leans more towards Chemistry and its main concept differs from that of Micro.

Good that you know me but where?

Glad to find alot of colleagues here, repping Uniben, FYB (as soon as ASUU finish their madness )

No I'm not a student. I work now, graduated 10 yrs ago.

Sharrap! I repeat all science subject's in university they are dead science, excluding Medical line courses.
Better stop decieving yourself, I am also a microbiologist so I am tlking base on experience.

excuse me, for your information all courses are nice it depends on connection even though you read Yoruba evrything in Nigeria is connection get that big head!!

how about you?
Are you also in school? If yes, what level and uni

No, im done

I said sharrap and shottahf**kup! Can't you understand what you studied is a dead science huh? I also studied same course but I am here with Dangote, better accept the fact that those courses are dead science.

Thiamine:
Hmmm,
Thank you all,thouh I am not the questioner yet I benefit a lot.
I am a part 3 microbiology student "ni" OAU.

So we should hope less

My dear, don't let anyone discourage you. I finished from OAU, microbiology department and I made a first class, I'm serving now but have seen many opportunities for first class graduates. Just make sure you study hard and make a good grade, you'd have better chances. Microbiology is a very nice course though personally, if I had a good orientation from my UTME days, I could have gone for accounting cos I'm very good at mathematics and people around me keep asking what I was looking for in sciences in the first place, i'm thinking of digressing a bit from sciences for Masters degree. So dear, whatever gives you joy, go for it, you never can tell what God has prepared for you.

I was suggesting to my mum to allow my sister to study nursing instead of MLS. I didn't know MLS is such a good course. Please can you tell me where MLS students can work after graduation?

Check this below

Nice to see someone hu is seeing biochem d way i am seeing it too.....would like to chat u up on whatsapp as an aspirant fr biochem i need some orientation of wat d first 2 yrs wil b like

The first two years will be normal... but u have to be focused and dertermined... biochemistry is not difficult, u just need to understand some terms, get the right textbook that will explain and break it down for u in it's simple terms... watch YouTube video tutorials, Biochemistry is Fun!!!

guys what about someone who studies physics

ejihand:
I strongly suggest you write another UME instead of wasting your time with those 2 courses. It is even worse if you are a guy studying Biochemistry or microbiology with the hope of using those degrees to make ends meet.

Medical laboratory science killed those 2 courses a long time ago. All their associations executives of those 2 courses were busy chasing albino rats somewhere in laboratory while laboratory scientist were busy creating departments (units) such as medical microbiology and clinical Biochemistry/chemical pathology which renders the Bsc microbiology and Biochemistry like someone suggested as useless as 'P' in the psychology.

My advice, if you can't exercise some patience till next year ; go for Bsc mathematics (science dept) or Bsc English (art dept). Make sure it's pure mathematics or English. All those cut-and-join courses like industrial mathematics, economics and mathematics, statistics and mathematics, computer and mathematics, and lately mathematics and brewery. Same applies to English. AVOID THEM!! You will be like a bat after graduation : you don't belong to birds nor mammals.

I am a practicing medical laboratory scientist.

what did you intend to do for work when you chose the course?

Remisol:


what did you intend to do for work when you chose the course?

didn't choose it,was offered but I got to like it and I intend going into maybe medical physics or material physics

Effulgent:

The reason I asked is because I've heard a lot of people in Nigeria doing a course and then half way into it, they start asking what can they do for work with the course chosen
what you should have done was find something you like doing or marketable and then pick your course based on that.

Mr man your own course you studied may be a dead science but, mine is not in Jesus name!!! And by the way why did u study that course when you know yourself that the course is a dead course, you better start saying something positive out of your mouth rather than saying negative things cz, evrything you say sha come to pass na u sabi sha peace!!!

I studied MLS ( though, not in Nigeria). MLS don't "freak out" when Microbiologist come for their job. The fact remains that microbiologists are "specialist" as suppose to MLS a generalist. MLS comprises of ( clinical chemistry, Hematology, blood banking, microbiology, urinalysis, coagulation,serology, parasitology and virology) most companies do hire MLS because they can do it all and their job isn't only limited to hospital and diagnostic lab. They can also work for food companies, brewery industry, pharmaceuticals just to name a few.

Some MLS do further their education by specializing in anyof the above branches listed. But I personally feel it's limiting their chances.

oh nice, currently studying MLS too.. how's it lyk over dia?

It's cool. I work in a clinical setting. It is a very lucrative course.
