Hi pple, what advice would u give 2 a Bsc graduate in industrial chemistry? If he want to further, which course wil u advice him to do and where should do it. I love chemistry and I practical exposure. Thanks , luv guz

welcome to the house. . . i'm a fellow metabolite too.

Thank you moshoodn I know you from d NYSC forum batch B forum

Yes they do, u have to complete any biological science and then complete 4 years med school in the US

@bbwlurv/whom it may concern-Pls I nid info on hw 2go about geting d courses and trainings in AAS,FT-IR,US-VIS u listed. I'm into QC n I nid to get certain certfcation to improve myself in d food industry,chemical or health other dan MSc. I stay in Lagos n won't mind geting info on centres/institute dat ofers such. Thnks.

Hi everyone i studied Biochemistry too aspiring for NYSC Nov this year.I want to ask What space do Biochemists fill in the oil and gas companies or is it only engineers that do all the work there?Really want to know.

...wow! Glad 2 find ma home here!..
...am biochemist!..wil b a graduate nx 3mts!..
...ds career tin! Hz reali bin disturbin me!..
..am tinkin of goin! Into Pharmacology/ clinical Biochemistry! 4 msc study! Dnt knw wc would b more enjyable n gv u more time 4 research!
..cos i heard if u nt a lecturer! U wnt b able 2 enjy research!..

Nice been here, I'm a biochemist.

Hello fellow Metabolites and Reactors( Chemist)... I have read thro al d posts here and so far it has been insightful, I also noticed dat Public Health is what many ppl think a biochemist shld opt for as a career choice to further in... So my point is; are ther any other fields one can go into, I for one always had interest in d health line so I applied for Chemical pathology @ d Msc. Lvl but most ppl seem 2 think I'd end up in d hospital wc is cool by me cos I really enjoyed doing my IT thr.... So apart from working in d hospital, research institute and academics, can any1 shed more lyt on this career lyn..... Thanks in advance

I read as much as I could in this thread with great dismay and grievance. How come everybody in here wants to attach to a ready-made establishment? No body wants to be Creative and start something new. Its pathetic. I weep for my country. Even in my generation, we all want to unconsciously help the dreamers behind big companies (like shell and elf even in their death) build their dreams. They started from somewhere! Chemistry is creativity! It is broader than you can imagine, whether its bio, applied, pure or industrial. Let's be creative, Nigeria's livelihood depends on us as much as it depends on agric science, maybe even more. I'm an industrial chemist by the way! Corrosives in the building show some love!!!!

pls type relevance of biochemistry in the oil and gas industry to google,am sure u will get more than enough info.thanks

tru tal1!think well and make sme research on d net.then deiced d one dt is best for u.good luck

Oxytocin_712: Nice been here, I'm a biochemist also. Pls how can one further with 3rd class [not academicaly dull] in this field.

put in for ur post gad diploma in any good uni,then after dt u can still do ur m.sc if dts ur wish?there is alot to do,one way does nt lead to d market u knw.wish u best of luck

vicshownero: .Thanks 4 d challenge.Its a pity in d situation in wc we all find our selves in dis country,you see, you made a very good point but d problem we are facing is that we av just too many problems in dis case,bt after so much thinking, i think we can streamline the problem to our university system,wen u are talking abt been productive and all dt,u will agree with me that our educational system lack wat it takes to produce a productive graduate in d 1st place and dis problem self is due to so many other problem,its a chain reaction,d system has finally decayed.Tell me,wat kind of productivity are u expecting from a graduate that was only taught the theoretical aspect of his feed?,so u cant expect much.Its a very sorry case i must say.I av so much to say bt i dont av time to type it.stay cool,may God help us alllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Oga,
Your post doesn't tell a good story about you. Are you typing from a phone?
Anyway, to respond to your post . . . nobody is expecting you to work as a chemist.
There are chemistry graduates today working as bank managers, etc. Why can't you find something else to do? Government does not need to create jobs for chemistry graduates, the market does that. Adjust to the modern reality.

And I don't agree that the system doesn't produce productive graduates. Many of us have chosen to be unproductive. Stop making excuses, get off your backside, and find something to do. I'm sure you didn't join the undergraduate chemistry program out of desire to become a groundbreaking chemist.

vicshownero: .Thanks 4 d question,actually we av so many career path in our line,u 4got 2 mention oil and gas industries and d pharmaceutical industries to mention a few,wen choosing a career path, i often advice ppl to do wat they luv doing most and dt they should follow their dream.You said u r ok with d hospital setting so to say,if u luv doing it then i will advice u to go 4 it,why doing dt,u should search d net as to certifications dt will further buttress ur career in d health line,futhermore,u should also meet ppl that are already in d health sector to put u tru.As to other career in chemistry,u can google search career path in chemistry,then look very well into d search result and choose wat u might enjoy doing most.Never follow a career path cos of a friend dt decides to follow it.Always follow ur heart.Hope av been able to help u in my own little way? feel free to ask questions,thanks.

yep thanks,

what are these

Hi house,
my younger one that studied industrial chemistry is serving now. and he wants to know any business an industrial chemistry graduate can do. can someone help me out?

FeelStupid: Hi Guys

I see many ambitious and energetic young men and women seeking answers about their biochemistry and chemistry career paths. I studied Biochemistry in a US university and I am about to round up my PhD. There is a lot you guys can do with your biochemistry degree or rather the body of knowledge you have acquired through your years in the university.

Instead of looking for a job I will advise that you think of ways to create jobs for yourself. After my PhD, I hope to get a senior level position in the research division of one of the big oil and gas or pharmaceutical companies here in the US. I am also working towards setting up an alcoholic beverage company in Nigeria. I hope my plans work.

To answer the question many of you have with regards to the paucity of industries that can absorb the number of biochem/chemistry graduates,my advice is for you to look towards pursuing a master's degree overseas. You just need to do the GRE and meet the application requirements of the school of your choice. I know someone who studied chemistry in Nigeria and came here to the US to pursue a masters/PhD. Now he is working in the research and innovation dept of a fortune 500 oil and gas company.

Thank u very much can I get a fully funded phd in the US after msc in the uk

pls which of the following areas in biochemistry is lucrative and has more opportunities:Clinical Biochemistry,Environmental Biochemistry and Toxicology
· Pharmacology & Medical Biochemistry
· Medicinal Plant Research
· Nutritional Chemistry
· Immunochemistry
· Enzymology and Regulatory Mechanism
· Disease Pathogens
· Plant and Fungal Biochemistry. need your contributions.

Sorry for my late reply,if u had followed vicshownero's advise I am sure u wuld have made some headways now..bt shld incase that proves abortive,pls locate pple wu sell and caliberate this instruments,they wuld certainly be of help as they already know the working principle. Hope I helped a little...would get back to you if I av a more solid answer. Cheers

Gud to knw that biochemists are here...i want to start a professional course on publich health but i dnt knw any institute..do anybody av an idea
