Strictly for Physicists either,
Pure..
Applied..
Electronics..
Materials..

Let's discuss the future. In terms of career development, job prospects, also we will be discussing about which industries are open to us and the challenges we face..

Anyway, let me start by introducing myself, I am ChykeHosan, a Student of Industrial Physics (electronics)..
All contributions are welcome.

The future belongs to those who are well prepared for it. Thanks and God bless.

yes yes yes
am Me...
300l engineering physics

cumz: yes yes yes

What school ?
Are u under d faculty of Science or Engineering ?

NigellusHosan:

oau.
faculty of science... not engineering

cumz:
oau.

ok dats kool..
Are there no physicists on Nairaland ??

Seun please move this thread to the front page..

as in I tire o..
maybe the course dey shame dem
but me is a proud physicist.

between. what's the name of your school and level.

OK. welcome onboard
hope you are not finding it just hard yet..
Buh rather interesting?

it's tough..plus d department is usually very strict..
But 'm finding it interesting doe..
My duration is 5 years...so 'm still doing general courses, not started main physics courses yet..


What school are you ?

5 what?? are you kidding me??
mine is 4 o..
kikode...
I said oau earlier

As a graduate of physics what are the pros n cons..
What industries and opportunities are readily open to us.
Enlighten us a little

Hi friends, help evaluate this application and give a corresponding appraisal. I appreciate.

Sorry for my late reply. Was a bit occupied.
To answer your question, First of all I don't think there is any disadvantage studying physics. Because the training and exposure one receives gives you that limitless opportunity to participate in whatever area that interests you. some places where you could find physics graduates working include; Oil and Gas, Telecomm. Aviation, Medical Physics, Power Sector.e.t.c One thing I'll advice everyone out there is to work very hard in school, get good grades and Develop your professional network because it would go a long way in helping you.

How many of these firms actually employ physicists in Nigeria?

GREAT PHYSICIST! GREAT!......hello to my fellow physicist...im a 300 physics student from kaduna state university.....i hail una ooooh.....i am pleased to meet all of you....

rocketphysicist:

I know in the oil and Gas sector, there's a field called petrophysics, there is also Geophysics. Physics grads. Can also work as field Engineers because basically you all be trained when you're employed.

In the area of Satellite communications, I know Physicists are involved. So you have organisations like NigcomSat.

For Space Exploration we have our own Space Agency, NASDRA. where physics grads. Can also fit in

Hospitals across the country also employ physics grads. as professionals in the area of Medical physics.

In the power sector physics grads. can also be employed as field engineers but you may need to undergo training.

I believe they are even more that I may not know of but what I feel you guys need to do, is to make that extra effort in understanding how physics plays a role in various industries and from there you would appreciate the course and have a clear choice of the career path you intend to follow.

Unfortunately, most of this jobs aren't advertised. They are usually insiders connection, cos I've never seen an advert for NASDRA or the satellite station.

Yeah, I get that feeling too. That's why I pointed out in my earlier post to build good professional network, because most jobs are gotten through referrals.

Make sure you actually get to practise that course when you graduate, and not deviate into banks and audit firms like many Engineers and others seem to do nowadays.

Nigeria needs more scientists, now than ever before.

Thanks alot..

Easier said than done, you obviously can't turn down a lucrative job outside your field. Yes nigeria needs scientist but the government doesn't encourage scientific research neither do they give jobs (NASDRA, SPACE TECHNOLOGY and the rest) the necessary transparent recruitment. Its always "long leg"
