there is nothing new joor... I studied music and now working as a medical doctor

Please what is wrong with that?

Haute:
Big deal. I know a photographer that makes 100mill per annum.

I know a thousand more that doesn't make less than half a quarter zilch of that amount. Let's stop giving ourselves unnecessary hope.

I wonder why and how people that live orthodox lifestyle still expects to make a difference. The guy in question has himself to blame. Same goes for any lettered person anywhere that's unemployed.

By the way, I don't see anything wrong with being a photography, especially if he has passion for it.

And this is news? Abeg make I spread my mat here, this sun fit cook yam

Lol...Are you the Pessimist-in-chief of nairaland?

Pavore9:
No big deal! I know someone who studied Aeronautic Engineering but now earning his income from raising earthworms, he owns Planet Worms!

Like seriously. Lol

Nobody should dare mentioned one useless "passion" for me o! Wetin Zoology graduate fit do self? The course is virtually useless for Nigeria and i pity people studying that course. The best you can do is to study up to PHD level so you can be a lecturer and churn out more unfortunate graduates or you join politics like Oga Jona. Let's face the facts, Some courses are useless.

we have zoos in Nigeria

Naija and their shallow mind! Don Moen is a trained medical doctor. No crime in pursuing your passion.

Thats naija for you

pharaoh366:


Like seriously. Lol

Yes o, his worm farm that is about half a plot was fetching him over $1,200 monthly as at August 2015, his income should have tripled by now.

My guy nko way read raw still do masters and now he sells frozen chicken, turkey and fish......

I studied geology for five years but I'm a producer and a web designer

In places like Japan you most have a particular skill before gaining admission into tertiary school to improve on it. In Nigeria we go to school with zero skill and are expected to come out with one after facing the four corners of a class room like its magic.

Really! Once the incoming government appoint me Minister of Education, I will address it.

praiseoski:
I blame buhari for this

go buy some brain,Buhari was not near power then he chose zoology and parasitology

Donmoris212:

Over here in state of California and also maryland, you got some of them earning above national average. Lots of jobs for them in the US with hundreds of wildlife reserves and parks dotted in all the states. Many are more in research instiutions and hospitals. Nigeria is the great ZOO, yet her zoology graduates are still unemployed.

Do know how many bugs are on people's couch and bed guy if buy chemical open a bug killing company...Remember say Ona kan owoja...

Whatever puts food on ur table, as long as it's not illegal, is d way to go.
As things stand now in ds country, any graduate that insists on doing a job related to his certificate/course of study may end up doing nothing.
I spent d first 3years of my working life doing jobs that were not in anyway related to my degree. Each time I look back, I always thank God I took dat step. For me, it was a step out of idleness and a step out of poverty.

this is funny and at the same time annoying. How can someone spend a good number of years to study just to a course and ended up becoming a photographer?

This clearly shows the state of the academy sector in Nigeria and the adverse effect of going with the crowd or living with the outcome of what a person is given to study in the university.

I studied PHYSCIS WITH ELECTRONICS but now a GRAPHIC DESIGNER. Wish i had known, would have gone for it as a course as i found pressure in designing than in running one yeye experiment on a white board.

You can check my portfolio to see what have been upto in CGD world. I love what i do. Passion is the Way

...obviously, there are courses you should not study in Nigeria....

Sexymimy:
He is either really passionate about photography or the bad economy did not favour his employment into a profession he studied 7 years in school.. Oh well, this part of the world has a way of resetting one's destiny.

While I won't deny the unemployment crisis in Nigeria, this sort of thing is not peculiar to Nigeria. My question is, who can say where he fits in, except lecturing/research? Me neither! Go to the UK, you see Nigerian graduates, many with higher degrees including Phd's working as security guards, care assistants, mental healthcare assistants, customer care assistants, sales assistants, cab drivers, even as cleaners. These are intelligent young men and women with their degrees in disciplines like engineering, accounting, political science, chemistry, law.....just anything. Even the citizens are not insulated from this. Good British graduates working on shop floors as sales assistants - standing on their feet for 6 hours at a stretch - is not uncommon, and I dare add, earning minimum wage. Some British graduates still work as security guards and so on. It is not a Nigerian thing. All over the developed world, there is job crisis. When the developed world reel out their employment figures, we look at it as ideal. More than 50% of those are either underemployed or working part time. Nigerians in that category would claim to be unemployed.

My dear I wonder, education is mostly about transferable skills and developing your mind.

Many writers were once medics or medical students.

Many boardrooms worldwide have engineers, medics, lawyers, historians, etc.

Unnecessary post

Out of point. He should just go and make a living in a zoo or become a parasite. ; D ; D

u r very ignorant of the benefits of being a zoologist , not even to talk of parasitology , dont just go about critizing what you are not enlignthened about...

There's dignity in labour. I'm sure he turned his hobby into A job.
