[quote author=michelz post=49960687]I see a lot of people are disillusioned about Microbiology. Infact,many people don't know why they studied Microbiology or what it even means to be a microbiologist. Let me briefly open your eyes. As a microbiologist,you're first of all,trained to be independent. You must be able to carry out researches with little or no supervision. Even if you don't get a paid job,there are so many things you can do as a microbiologist. For examples,you can culture helpful microbes,package them and sell to organic farmers and many others who need them; you can develop new antibiotics and other chemicals; you can develop biosurfactants that are highly needed by many industries; you can develop biofuels and help the energy situation of the country; you can bioengineer new organisms to develop better products... The list is endless. Microbiology is one of the best science courses out there,and it cuts across both biological and physical science. For you to find your feet in microbiology as a career,you must first of all be good at it.[/quote Your imputs/Suggestions assume that these research and inventions can be carried out in isolation or in the comfort of one's sitting room! That is simply not true. For any of your above suggestions to be carried out, there has to be an enabling environment, a standard facility with all the relevant equipment, such which is not even found in the universities from which most of us graduated. A while ago I was making research into how to make biofuel from natural wastes and sewage. the cost implications of such a 'simple' project was staggering! I had to discard or at least pend the idea. As a fresh graduate for example, where am I supposed to get the millions needed to fund and implement my research? Much less one for which you need incubators and autoclaves and all sorts of growth media and all the sterile environment and all that. I don't mean to disenfranchise anyone but mcb in Nigeria is almost a wasted effort, unless you just want to have the degree then veer into something else. I say this for the upcoming folks who can still switch to a more productive course like med lab science and biochemistry. |

Nice words from all.. Those of us who think microbiology is a waste of time.. I guess this thread might teach us one or two things.... I'm just thinking is the problem with us or microbiology or the economy |

anonimi:Realistically, I should say it's a waste of time....had to learn this artisan job to keep myself. why are we even going to these higher institutions for God's sake? You spend 4 years or more in school, go for one useless National Service, and what does one gets after, sits at home all day. I went to learn 'handwork' as a layman would call it when I got tired of sitting at home....it can be frustrating, that's when some family members would come visit and be discussing with you some nonsense talks; for the ladies, they will be like, "when are you getting married? "....so so annoying |

Disneylady:My younger sis studied History and International relations and graduated with a good grade. She hasn't worked one day with her degree. Now she's into makeup/photography and doing very well. Does that make her course irrelevant? No because You ain't practising doesn't mean its not worth the effort/time |

I studied Microbiology . Loved the course however I will say the lecturers and NSM are not playing their parts well to make sure that the graduate they send out each year are being relevant in that field. The medical lab science have taken over the medical microbiology aspects now the science lab tech have taken over the industry and institutional laboratory. So if you are having just BSc on microbiology the society is making it difficult for you to fit in, and nsm isn't doing much. I hv an MSc in microbiology, went for an interview in one of the federal universities to work in the microbiology laboratory I did well in the exams and interviews but was denied employment because I didn't have science lab technology certification or license. I been making moves to write the professional exam for slt but the body in Ibadan have been posting me saying the adimission forms are not yet out. 2 Likes |

anonimi:so becos she's not practising means her course of study is irrelevant or useless in Nigeria sir/ma. Lets not start this here. The point is we all don't get head start the same time and that's largely or in most case due to our actions or in actions while in school. |
Re: Where Are The Great Microbiologist And Their Jobs: Advice,ideas And Experience by pseudomonas: 10:38am On Oct 06, 2016 |
Disneylady:you might think the "degree" BSC is useless but the course Microbiology isn't useless. there are so many others too who studied a particular course as undergraduate but who are in a totally different field. that's my point. |

pseudomonas: You CANNOT show the relevance of her four years (or more) WASTED money, efforts, talents etc on campus to her make-up/photography work. If you can, start and state the relevance here. Otherwise it is obvious you were bluffing about something you know NOTHING about. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3043814_facebook20151105005801_jpeg1027baba4e35e791f3661e85d47d5487 www.nairaland.com/attachments/2855735_twooptionswallpaper10579600_jpeg618d634ba6258d93161d282181afdc68 2 Likes |
