Season Greetings to everyone.
This is going to be a lengthy write-up.

I followed keenly the above thread to learn, relearn and unlearn and actually I learnt alot ranging from the desire for recognition among the different health care professional among others. The eyes nor the nose can fulfill its purpose in obscurity untill he is part of the main BODY.
Away from that,

1. Over the years, graduate of life sciences most especially BCH, will always ask this question towards the end of their stay in the school or during/after the mandatory NYSC. What next? Where can I fit in?

2. While in school, most of them were told that the can fix in everywhere and anywhere like octopus. But this as most often turned out to be faux.

3. A quick survey through the 200 level class of MLS, Med&Surgy, Pharmacy shows that most of the D.E students are graduate whom have returned back to the above courses to find relevance.
What then become the fate of those without ready sponsors?

4. A quick Google search on the job opportunities for graduate of BCH, will surprise you.
Are those jobs non existent in Nigeria?

5. Should we tell our siblings and those whom will seek for advises that the should avoid the course like a plague. Maybe when their is no longer students in various universities the department will become closed and the non existent National body will call for a retreat not to publish papers but to chart a new course.

6. Finally, I have decided to stop mourning over Saul and fill up my jar to go out...

Let me stop here with this two questions

What is the actual Career path for a graduate of Biochemistry?

What was in the mind of those that created that course and brought it into the University?

Elders of BCH...

NB: I want to learn, unlearn and re learn.

OP, I can only advise you to reinvent yourself.

You can go back for a B.Sc in a new field, do an M.Sc in public health or other similar fields, do an M.Sc in biochemistry and find lecturing jobs, or abandon academia altogether and forge yourself in other fields such as IT, tech, non-tech, or business.

You can also consider foreign scholarships.

Reinvent yourself. Never Stay stagnant.
