Help! I Need Your Career Advice. by webizone(m): 7:00am On Dec 15, 2012
I am an Electronics/Computer Engineering
graduate currently doing my NYSC in Benue
State, and I have a problem.
It goes like this.
While in school, I have always wanted to do
something extra. To stand out. I wanted to
impact my world. To create rather than
shuffle at the short end of the stick.
When I did my IT(Industrial Training)at KRPC,
I met someone who introduced me to an
educational company that trains one on GSM
radio frequency technology. I came out flying
ahead of my course mates, especially when
we took our options and I consolidated when
I chose the communications option.
Well, I felt cheated because I haven't got a job
since then(If you know how the GSM RF job
works, sometimes you travel to do
installation and optimization jobs)and paying
for the course was expensive.
Now, I decided that I would follow a new
path. A path that would lead to unlimited
possibilities and greater potential for growth. I
needed to create a successful business. If at
least to be fulfilled and rather create jobs. But,
I have an idea block at the moment just like a
writer's block would be experienced.
I will give you an example or a hint of what I
mean.
I have a friend who studied microbiology
who saw potential in biotechnology, of which
you all know has ties to pharmacy, oil,
brewing, etc. which are all very lucrative
markets that does not fade like technology
does (for instance a successful beer formula
may last for a century but the tablet might
become obsolete next week) and when she
finished her studies she might like to create a
product even if she has a job. But she tells
me that creating that product, which entails
having a company would rather be
expensive, so she told me she might then
partner with a big firm, patent her genetically
modified drug and practically have a large
market (just like a massive importation
business but even better with exportation
attached).
Now my questions are these:
Can I do the same with my background type?
What masters courses have lasting business
potential or business of the future lasting
potential?
In short, what am asking is this, from my
background, can anyone see a coming huge
trend especially a lasting one?
This I ask because am confused if I am to
consider doing my masters or not. The
location of the campus does not matter. The
course might not be offered in Nigeria. huh

I have read your blog and I must say it was a nice article you got there. What if I said I love watching tv, surfing the net, playing video games and reading?
Plus, I strive for perfection in those areas.
Is there an illustrious career for me based on these?
