princessmay: Hey guys, am a microbiologist and am proud to b one,its nt as bad as u all take it to be, microbiology is nt only limited to hospitals alone, we play major roles in food,pharmaceutical and water productn industries/companies as quality control officers,even in environmental and public health.Dere re high hopes 4 us, but our country is nt helpin matas,i knw a microbiologist with nestle and anoda wit mecure pharm,dere take home salary is mouth watering and dey enjoy wat dere re doin because de studied nd ve passion 4 it. I ll advic,lets nt loose hop or giv up on our cours,lets equip ourselves with oda skills instead of complaining because same goes to oda courses,gettin a job in naija is somtin else. Wish u all d best.

sova: Am a microbiologist, i believe in d present nd d fulture of diz grt course. we av a stake in nigeria, dia is a grt demand for microbioligist in health, tradomedical, food industries, pharmaceutical industries, breverages, brewing, environmental nd public health monitorin, lecturers nd researchers,epidemiologist, petroleum industries, community health services, customs, SON, NAFDAC etc.
Though u may need connection to gt hooked up deu to d condition for employment in nigeria, moreso, many of dix industries nw prefer 2.1 CGP holder
even without experience wt gud pay, bt d best u cn do for ur self is to increase ur knowledge, apply for sm professional courses.

deandavid: bros abeg,what professional courses, can a microbiologist do?

marvelling:

Stop deceiving yourself! There is no great demand for microbiologists in this country, maybe somewhere else, but certainly not nigeria. Avoid fallacious optimism! Mcb is not a good course in nigeria.

You are referring him to institute of safety professionals! The training in environment management is too expensive and does not guarantee employment as he has no working experience. Pls be real!

dr dams: Ohh!! Dis d thread u said is for biologist, despising d oda 1..
Cant u see u r myopic and uneccessarily antagonistic.

Scrolling down and reading thru, dis thread topic contradicts d content..
It spiks only of Microbiology and jst a bit of envi. Biologist.

Hello friends, just stumbled upon this thread and i wish to place my own comment. Currently, im studying env. Biology at YCT. The world is concerned about its env. E.g: global warming, desertification, flooding, extinction of species, oil spillage( bonga oil spill), freezing weather in europe etc. As an env biologist, u can work in any of these : HSE of any company, LAWMA, LASEPA, WHO, ministry of env. And conservation to mention a few. Env. Biologists are on high demand cos d world, even lagos state is very concerned about the env. An example is the plant a tree campaign in lagos state. Currently, env. Biologist are responsible for cleaning the oil spills in bonga, bayelsa state. I am proud 2 be an env. Biologist.

Hi guys.
I read Environmental Biology. Finished service last year october. Since then,getting anything called white collar job, that has to do with the course, has proved to be VERY hard. People even scoff when you say 'Environmental Biology'. They are always like 'what's this one?'. Thankfully,am fending for myself with my online programmes. I also currently have a minor admin role in an engineering company. Planning to quit the role as soon as my online ventures become strong enough to depend on and head back to school. Have always wanted to be a lecturer. So am looking at going back to school for my Msc and PhD. The current job climate in our country is one that doesnt favor people like us. In the sciences,the only ones that have a chance of getting employed without breaking much sweat are our brothers in the Medicine Faculties. Infact i felt so bad during NYSC. These guys were treated like kings and queens just for reading Medsurg,Medlab,Opt,Anatomy etc. And most of them were retained. However,all of us wont be doctors and nurses(even those that wanted,Jamb didnt allow,LOL). So,i'd advise biology undergrads to start looking at SKILLS they can acquire rather than depending on the jobs that don't exist/or are very hard to come by. Otherwise they'd be in for a rude shock. Looking forward to seeing more guys here.

I'm a microbiologist by profession and i will like other microbiologist in Nigeria and diaspora to join me in discussing: 'Life after studying Microbiology'. The question is, are you really practicing your profession? I don't think Nigeria values Microbiologist at all,

vickkybaba:
I don't know if this thread is still active but I'm currently studying env. biology and I'm looking for where I can do my I.T

I know I can intern at petroleum companies and the likes but I need "names of companies/industries" where you might have interned at or where I can do my IT.
Please give me ur number

Thanks in advance!
