eminemkayc: How is Mechanical Engineering a sub set of civil Engineering? Just because Mechanical Engineering is useless in Nigeria doesn’t make it underneath Civil Engineering. Let’s be calming down please. 1 Like |

But that isn't the whole truth, or is it? There are a lot of computer science grads who have no jobs and this is the age of the computer. This is a multifaceted problem which means there are other reasons why. There are very few jobs, so there's increased competition. Also, our educational system is quite archaic so most grads aren't really prepared for jobs in their fields for this age. These are the reasons I can think of for now. I'm not sure there's a magic bullet course one can study in this Nigeria. What I do know is if you have concrete skills and/or have very good grades, you put yourself in a very good position, either for the few jobs here where knowing someone isn't a requirement or, to japa. Either ways, your diligence maketh room for you. And for the skills part, these aren't always taught in schools. I have read some online forums where guys from technologically advanced nations complain that their CSC curriculum doesn't prepare one for the job market and that it's personal studies. I was shocked. Nozino: 2 Likes |

You have to go and learn these things outside of the school then, study up and apply what you are studying to what you are learning practically. When you begin to see the results you'll know why it mattered that you studied it in school in the first place. Nozino: |

chibjohn:Yes,my whole university sef is fake. And all graduants of the course had 3rd class, and all of them cheated to even have the 3rd class. Someone will see you now and bring thier children for advise, this is how you will lead them astray. You are just like those departmental lecturers that will say your course is the best course, without you, humanity cannot survive,lol. 1 Like |

Abedfff14:That means the person is useless if he/she decides to stay in Nigeria. How dare you compare it with civil and mechanical engineering? |

eminemkayc: Yes I know FEA is a Mathematical technique employed by almost all scope of engineering, infact I learnt its solution from a mathematician first from FVM, however this is not the contention. Hope you know a mechanical engineer can do almost everything a civil engineer can do (both theoretical and practical), but a civil engineer can do all a mechanical can See you for instance, you had to join mechanical to your civil I.e a mechanical engineer can choose from various scopes in it I e Automobile, manufacturing, electromechanical etc, but Civil ?? However I'm glad I have learnt something from you |

Jokerman: With hungry belle? It seems you don’t understand the OP. No one is saying the courses mentioned aren’t good, we are simply saying that it is difficult to break even in these fields especially for those of us from humble backgrounds trying to escape poverty. |
Re: Courses That Should Be Avoided By Nigerians From Poor Families. by Nozino: 10:54pm On Jun 30, 2021 |
gheekhone: At last, you’ve proven the OP correct, for someone trying to escape poverty, we don’t have the time or financial commitment to learn those skills. We want what will put food on our table when we graduate. |

prosperioh: Four years, less expensive and you would mostly practice in same non-legal fields as lawyers who cannot practice law. Think about it, why study Law to practice it in a lawless place populated by poor people who would prefer non-civil means of solving disputes? Again, unless the person is very intelligent and has strong financial backing, it is pointless studying and aiming to practice Law in Nigeria. 1 Like |

You see, this is more reason why blacks are fools and will never compete globally. Our reasoning faculty is very weak that we hardly ever think. All these are valid points but if you wannt the black race to compete in the global world we need to think years ahead of us. |

LMDyaya:unless u get to work with NGO's... Medical doctors with msc in public health they call it mph.. Has a much better chance than landing a job meant for you... Also speaking from experience most of my colleagues that did public health back then in d University most of them are now doin something else that's not in line with d profession... Like I said in Nigeria medical lab is better.. |

Judolisco: There are suggestions that you can work in a hospital with public health technology degree, or even run a hospital (with masters), what is the reality about this? do they only work with the NGOs, not even in a lab? |
Re: Courses That Should Be Avoided By Nigerians From Poor Families. by Judolisco(m): 12:03pm On Jul 01, 2021 |
LMDyaya:Public health science deals mainly with preventive medicine and population studies, like if there is an outbreak of diseases now in a community the job of the public health officer will be to study the incidence, distribution and prevention of the disease to prevent further occurrences it's called epidemiology... So d job of a public health scientist or technologist in d hospital will be to collect data or work wit the person in charge of immunization... They don't have any function in the lab... U can open a hospital but you have to employ license medical professionals to work for you.. |

One can learn those skills while in school and for some of them, one doesn't need to pay much or pay at all. Just a willingness to apprentice with someone practicing. Nozino: |

There's a 6months Industrial Training period after the 1st semester of 400 level someone who is serious about their future can use to learn valuable skills. Most usually waste it chasing “big” companies. Also, one can learn a skill part-time. Weekends, holidays, strikes etc. A poor student should be very mindful of how they use their time. Nozino: |

gheekhone: For those of us from poor homes, we are more concerned with getting money for our immediate needs, supporting family and saving for the next semester(s). Weekends? Holidays? I don’t know about others but I was hustling for money to satisfy my immediate needs. Maybe you had people taking care of your needs and paying your bills. |
