Op, you've prolly been carried away by oil and gas sector. Do you know that professionals in aeronautic and maritime earns more than all the aforementioned? Politics nko? Do you know what it takes to occupy public office? An ordinary P.A. to a commissioner (let's not talk President and Governors) earns over N2m monthly. Do your verification and come back with fact.

noordean: Mblem i tink w r on d same page here,lecturing till d end. even if it's a college of education i ll start with, i dnt mind. am a graduate of physics,oau.

weda the witches in my village like it or not,I will end up as a lecturer cos there is no profession as sweet as lecturing...even if it's a private college of education, no proflem!

alentyno:
Geologists in Oil nd gas coys like total chevron and d likes earn btw 200-250k monthly @entry levels

. I think it's more than that oh !!

fnep2smooth:
you have a point but my main concern is where de can work. Cos i was thinking construction company

Maybe urban and regional planners in the house can help us out.....over to you folks!

Hello..

Am just a 200 level student in UNIZIK.. Studying Microbiology and Brewing..

But am a little confused cos in our 3rd year we will choose weather to study Microbiology or Brewing(production of alcoholic Beverages)..

I really like Brewing but I don't know the salary range of those working in the NBL(Nigeria Brewing) .. I need help..

Thanks..Hello..

government scale is the ideal standard 4 measuring what several fields earn.how many people get 2 work with oil companies? private companies have different scales for paying their workers so u rily cnt use that 2 judge.
now using federal scale, what does government pay at entry level for engineers, teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, scientists. dats wen u cn say wat field is best.
nd based on dis I can say that medical field rily r wel paid relative 2 oda fields at entry level nd even wen u follow up with mor experience.

@kericoo, the decision is solely yours the only thing is WHEREVER U END UP WHETHER U WANTED TO BE THERE OR NOT, JUST BE THE BEST!
Don't worry so much about the salary!

enkay4love: . That's d spirit man! me & lecturing are 1.# going back 2 school next session 4 PG studies#can't wait to qualify......teaching is in my DNA.[color=#006600][/color]

OUR D to the N of A #gbam!

How about pharmaceutical technologist?

See as everybody they ask the OP about their respective salaries like say the Guy na SoothSayer...lol

ndidibabe: Very very funny. I studied Computer Engineering at OAU and I have a Masters degree too in same field from the University of Portsmouth, UK. However, HND in Elect, Mech, Civil is bigger than B.sc Sociology. This is just simple common sense.

i cnt force u to tink in d same way wit mi.w tink differently,even identical twins do. datz ur own point of view dou, w r one #teamOAU .....#shakes hands

Wat abt microbiology graduates

Mblem: am not really after the money..... lecturing till dead do us apart.. first to comment shaa

why una dey strike?

I will advise you choose microbiology, because it is broader that brewing. If you major in brewing, you sort of limit yourself to some extent.

And getting into Nigerian Breweries is not an easy task. I attempted it in 2012, but was screened out at the second stage. It was called function specific test by workforce, and the test na die.

Yes, some people would be chosen at the end, but how many? Only the very best would be chosen!

No idea about pharmaceutical technology

alentyno: Although the importance of hard work cannot be overemphasised in any chosen profession, experts have said that studying some particular degrees will not only give you an edge in the job market, it also determines the amount of income you take home at the end of the day.

For example, in the oil and gas sector, petroleum, mechanical, chemical and electrical/electronics engineers at an entry level earn as much as N3.5m per annum, depending on the organisation.

Other high paying engineering fields include software engineers and computer engineers who employ IT skills, whether they are in the oil and gas sector or the telecommunication sector. They stand to earn as high as N400,000 per month for a start, and it could increase to about N5m to N15m per annum, depending on the years of experience.

A fresh engineering graduate in the oil and gas sector could earn between N7m and N9m per annum, which goes higher to about N12m or N15m per annum after five years of experience.

engineers in the oil and gas sectors earn the same salary, notwithstanding the area of specialisation at the entry level, until they undergo in-house training graduates with non-engineering courses like computer science, information technology, software programmers with professional certifications which include JAVA, CISCO, ORACLE and other networking skills working in the telecommunications companies would get between N200,000 and N750,000 as starters.

An Oracle specialist, database programmer, manager and software experts with five to 10 years’ working experience in a telecoms company will earn between N5m and N15m per annum.

Suffice to say, all the aformentioned top earning degrees have one thing in common ––mathematical skills.

Graduates of Economics, Accounting, Marketing as well as Banking and Finance and other business related fields working in the banking and investment sectors also get fat salaries before the recent down-sizing in the sector, a fresh graduate at the entry level in any of the new generation banks earned between N2m and N2.5m per annum.

Fresh accountants could earn fat paychecks of about N2m per annum if self-employed or working in private and multinational organisations, government still had a poor salary scale for this level of professionals.

Marketers, also known as business development officers, could earn between N50,000 and N300,000 monthly at the entry level, depending on the level of results achieved and the organisation hiring.

Medicine, law, nursing and pharmacy, which were the hot cakes in the 70‘s, 80‘s and 90‘s, were no longer paying as well as they used to be.

This is the age of the mind; the age of creativity.

It has been noted that medical doctors were poorly paid. “In fact, they are only paid living allowance when you compare them with their colleagues in engineering and telecommunication.

In government hospitals, at entry level, doctors are paid less than N1m per annum. But they could earn higher if they specialise and become consultants.

In the medical line, specialists, including obstetricians, cardiologists, gynaecologists, dentists and surgeons were the highest earners any of these specialists working in reputable hospitals like Reddington Hospital in Lagos could earn N750,000 and above monthly.

A nurse in government hospital in Nigeria earns less than N100,000 per month. Their pay could rise to N400,000 when they become matrons.

Pharmacists are not left out; most pharmaceutical companies pay fresh graduates between N500,000 and N900,000 per annum, and it could increase to N2m or N3m after about eight- or nine-year job experience.

Teaching profession is not that competitive, a teacher’s take home pay was between the range of N50,000 and N70,000 per month in some secondary schools, and could be as high as N200,000 per month in some other schools.

Journalists –– editors to be precise –– with five to 10 years experience and they offer between N40,000 and N60,000 per month.

Lawyers do not earn much. fresh lawyers could earn between N50,000 and N120,000 per month depending on the chambers or organisations they work for.

wait 1st, who conducted this research?

Naija always using "outliers" as average.. Most engineers don't work in IOC and don't get paid a lot. I know of accountants with 2:1 that get paid less than 100k working for banks.

A computer scientist in making, just a year remaining,who cares to work for anybody? when I can easily develop myself.

Titusolufemi: No idea about pharmaceutical technology

Pharmacists in the building will have more idea
Nevertheless for the very fact that the pharmacy in nigeria is more of marketing drugs in firms or dispensing in hospitals should give you some insights

donwise1: yes boss

LIAR!! Obviously you graduated from UST, I can claim that as well cause both departments share same office and HOD!!

And if you have a British degree? I'm guessing it's not the same. I know someone offering to pay 300,000 a month for law

Mblem: am not really after the money..... lecturing till dead do us apart.. first to comment shaa

i am a lecturer and i dont complain either.

zeemahn: Please what about Optometrists
whats there chances of securing a job?
whats there salary?

Optometrist are paid btw 80,000 to 120000, in private.
In Govt hopitals, btw 1.6m to 2m per anum.
ie entry level,

Jarus:

OK. Well, indigenous still pass indigenous. I work for an independent, not an IOC, and entry level earns not less than 400k, and we're not even the market leader in independents. Afren, Seplat pay more than us.

Still waiting to hear from you.
Take your time thou..

iiiyyyk:

Where do u guys get all these ur figures from sef.
They are nt real. Period!

blackprowler:

What about engineers at Tower Aluminium or some Lebanese or Indian textile or confectionery factory. You guys make me laugh with these simplistic assumptions. What about unemployed engineers? There is no unemployed doctor in Nigeria except he doesn't want to practice at all

My brother tell them, nigerians are so funny with their analogies.
what % of engineers work in ioc, I guess less than 5%.
What we shld be saying is average salary of a profession.

A Dr can be underemployed but never unemployed.

b3llo: Can someone pls tell me how good does a biochemist get paid.

There no is particular range for biochemistry graduates. It all depends on where you work. For you to get a good job with biochemisty, u most graduate with a good grade then polish your mathematical skills and presentation skills. With that you can go for any kind of firm, from oil n gas to maanufauturing firm to pharmaceutical firms.

I work with the lagest FMCG company in the country n with my degree in biochemisty, my pay at entry level was 6.0M/annum.

Please this is not to brag but to encourage the biochemstry students out there. I was really discouraged as a student.

Syenite:

Give us real figures period.

proud psychologist #mehn if I leave this country ,I'm gonna earn as much as an engineer
