Everything here is very true. Medicine is the worst course anyone can study. Very stupid useless profession especially in Nigeria. Very poor pay, bullying in the profession, useless extremely difficult exams you have to write, insane working hours all for what. My mom is a medical doctor and I would never wish the same on an enemy.

ttyl02:
This is a very informative thread..Medicine and surgery is overhyped There are lot of things about the profession that are not clear to people but their eyes become clearer once they start working..I don't even envy them one bit.Secondary school students should be wel-oriented on career before they write jamb.Every science student wants to study MBBS..

ha ha

This is ignorance at it's peak!

what you said up there na big lie

Adejoncy01:
And This Medicine Of A Thing Is Not Among The Courses With High Pay In Nigeria, Not Even Globally!

BiafranDel:
you are hating for no reason. am sure you studied a meaningless course in school and now you are just trying to feel good about your certificate that wont fetch you any meaningful job in life. face your life. somebody else's career is not your business. medicine don cast, shey na you cast am. mr career guide analyst

cassidy1996:
medicine and surgery na hot cake for Niger, just tell any girl that you're a doctor, she go smile....

and once a girl is dating a medical doctor

next..... she will alert her family, friends and social media.... medical doctor on the way, make una clear road... levels don change

Stallion93:
Quite sure your mother gave birth to you through the anus in a Village latrine

AlphaT1:

I refused to apply for medicine in my JAMB against my dad's wish, it wasn't an easy battle but eventually I won and when I showed him my acct balance just after NYSC, he had to apologize and admit that he was wrong to try to force me into what wasn't my interest. Interestingly almost all my guys who went for MBBS are now consultants or senior registrars (we were intelligent boys and girls) and they are all my 'boys' 'for account balance level'.

Pharmacy is worse. They earn far less than doctors in hospitals, and only a few find jobs there. Most are mere chemist owners (if they can afford to start chemist shops) or they work for uneducated chemist owners. How many pharmaceutical industries do we have in Nigeria and how many pharmacists work there?

Medicine is tiring and boring.
The system will always find a way to bring you down.
Can you imagine that some of us have been in school since 2011 without repeating ohh.
Doing final year for 1 full year coupled with toxic consultants that don't just want you to progress.

After all this, you finish and have to wait close to 1 year for house job and all the other shit.
The society keeps placing much responsibilities on you.

You have truly seen something brother.. Tell us more!

It is not to discourage prospective med surg students though, we just have to tell you guys that you must have a life plan as you are coming into med school - as for me, I lost my passion about the thing since year 1 sef. Make I just gradge go reason wetin I go do with my life.

Medicine in Nigeria is shit - except you know what you are doing and enjoying it too.

medicine not among the highest paid professions in nigeria? smh. illiterate. did you even go to school. am not sure you have actually seen the four walls of a university talk more of knowing anything about education and career in nigeria

BiafranDel:
rubbish. abeg go sidown jare. which money do you have. do you need to compare your finance level to those of your friends on social media.

streamsofjoy:

I put it to u that law is not worst

sogodihno:


can u stop saying nonsense pls, if u don't know something u ask, u think pharmacist are restricted to hospitals like doctors are?

Chemist and pharmacy? u are comparing the two, Go out tomorrow and see big pharmacy outlets( that's if you live in area where there are Pharm outlet anyway), and the point is the average pharmacy av seen is way more bigger than average chemist, and the very big ones(chemist) are manage by a pharmacist, that's if the owner can afford to pay the pharmacist.

And those u called mere chemist make more money than u can ever imagine(I work in a pharmacy so I know what am saying).

And u are asking how many pharmaceutical industries we have in Nigeria, those few ones, it's carpenter that are working there now, and for your information we have limited accredited pharmacy school in Nigeria, fewer than medical school, so the supply is is not too much.

And pharmacy is a business in Nigeria if u don't know, where u make cool cash. it's also the only profession where ur certificate can be working for u, without u doing anything(a person can use your license to open a pharmacy and u av your monthly pay ranging from 120k and above depending on the location and agreement with the person) and you can also be doing government work with it( thou not legal).

if their is any course in Nigeria now that have hope of job security and self dependency with comfortable pay, it's pharmacy.

Pls, be informed. if you know, you know

msughdoo:
I know a pharmacist who is feeding from hand to mouth. Liar.
