My brother it is good that you are thinking of the future but my simple advice is
one: make the best use of the IT periods to gain wholistic knowlwdge about Forestry
two: try to get a place in that international institute for tropical agriculture in Ibadan
three: Make a good degree grade.As a HR person now we consider mostly first degree.The rest is training
Finally:Let God lead you.work towards setting up yourself and not looking for job.God bless

Bro, both courses re gud, @ 500l we wia all argueing wch agric course s more marketable,,, some went to animal prod like me, ma frend soil sci, some agric econs ext, and crop.... Most f us re stil jobless afta 3 yrs even wif veri gud grades dts ma own experience.... Lesson jst do any course dt comes ur way n get d best grade out f it... Leave d rest fe God

The lord will lead you through, just make sure you do your best in all. The rest will be taken care of.

Try to make at least a second class degree.That is 2:1 or 2:2.

Well said!

I am a graduate of animal science. (Animal Production and Health)

Basically speaking, Soil science is more lucrative than Forestry. But in Nigeria, both have very limited employment opportunities though one can still argue that an SSLM grad still has more chance than that of FWM.

But in developed countries where you stand a much better chance, SSLM still beat it handsdown. Both belong under the STEM degrees which are in high demand. But with SSLM, you stand a chance of delving into related careers such as Agroecology, Organic Agriculture etc. I am not sure of FWM as I have no idea.

In my own case, I have changed from a career path of Animal science to one that encompasses Agroecology, Food science, Organic Agriculture, Agribusiness, Supply Chain and Sustainable Agriculture.

But hey, you remind me of myself. I so much hated my course back then that I tried to leave even after 200L. But look at it now, I developed an interest later on, looked for ways to get a career out of it and boom. I wouldn't change it for anyother one right now.

go for what you knw best, thats the first step of choosing career, i wish u the best.
