i just clocked 27years of age last week Friday. I have a BSc in Industrial Chemistry (second class lower) though it wasn't the course i intended to study.

I never really liked Chemistry, so I want to go for an upgrade to MSc in Chemical Engineering.


The problem is that if i am to go for Chemical engineering, i would first have to do a PgD and thereafter a Masters, but by then i would be in my 30s (owing to the Nigeria Education system). Imagine a 30-something MSc in Chemical Engineering holder with no relevant experience.

On a second thought i could just go directly for a masters in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and save time.



But i don't like Chemistry that much as to go for MSc in pharmaceutical chemistry. I sincerely desire a career path in Engineering.






Please what should i do?
Thank you.

Follow your heart...

Hmmmmm, Have you thought about professional certifications?

I'm not a fan of M.sc and I am of the opinion that professional certifications will boost your career more than an M.sc. You can Google on some relevant certifications to your career path

Exactly... This is telling you that this is not the best place for you to seek such advice..
Pray
Talk to a counselor
Talk to your mentor (if you have one)

Thanks a lot Bro.
But i don't have a mentor like that neither do i have someone to counsel me career wise.


That is why i am using this platform to seek counsel from men and women of experience.
