I want to state here that there is hope for you even if you read yoruba language..Companies and multinationals these days are not really after what you studied in school,cos employees are usually trained after recruitment ..The most important thing is to graduate with a good result, maybe a first class or 2.1(or maybe a 2.2 also) and be determined..Send applications to all sector, do not limit applications to ur field alone..And also, equip yourself with professional qualifications and Msc as soon as you can...I studied Mathematics/Economics, and I presently work with one of the best Parastatals in Nigeria, even tho people discouraged me while in school that I will end up as a school teacher...The Sky is the Limit for us all my friends.... 11 Likes |

Their is much hope for a B.Sc Botany unless you don't know what you read. As a botanist,you can work anywhere because plant is fundamental. You can work in a pharmaceutical comapny, Tobacco company, Oil company (jatropha plant is use in the production of diesel), banks, agricultural industries etc. |

Even an undergraduate of arabic studies will be brainwashed that they can work everywhere, even in the oil company. By the time they graduate, they face the reality in the Nigerian labour market. There are very few courses that are that versatile and unfortunately botany is not one of them, at least not in Nigeria. I am not trying to discourage any graduate of any discipline. It's just good to manage your expectations and plan ahead, knowing your limitations and working hard to overcome them. 6 Likes |

Please any botanist here should not mind this guy that does not know what he is saying. A botanist,like I have said earlier on can work in those companies and many more. Its just that the problem we have here in Nigeria is that you need to be connected,you need to know people. Even if you read yoruba language you can work in most places with connection. Unless you a 1st class holder 2 Likes 1 Share |

Unless you a 1st class holderI would not have responded if you had stopped at reinforcing your argument that botanist can work anywhere - it's good to console one's self atimes. But I decided to respond because you chose the common and lazy excuse of knowing people before getting jobs as the challenge botany graduates are facing. Like I said, it's better to be realistic with one's expectation and work hard to overcome expected challenges, than live in delusion and make lame excuses thereafter. To put it in clear times, the reason why you won't see botanists in oil coys, manufacturing firms, hospitals, refineries etc is because they are not needed. How come it is the engineers, doctors, industrial chemists, accountants, pharmacists, etc that always have the ''connection'' to get the jobs? Like I said, I ain't trying to discourage any botanist. Neither am I trying to say they can't work in any particular organization. I'm just saying it's better to know your limitations (as a graduate of botany or any other course) and develop yourself such that you can overcome those limitations. I rest my case. 5 Likes |

Am no botanist but one thing I know is that you shouldn't be discouraged...learn to be innovative and think outside the box you could as well go into farming,horticulture or landscaping as an enterprenural venture and trust me if you have access to hybrid plants you will be raking money because am sure you know how expensive they can be... 1 Like |

I'm a Botanist but I'm an SBO in a bank. Funny right? All you need to succeed in any field is the right skills. Any opportunity you have try to acquire great skills in it. E.g skills in Sales, community development skills etc. 3 of my classmates in university then work with NGOS. But if you want to lecture, you need to futher your education. Get your M.sc as soon as possible and later your PhD. Do you knw while botanists don't lack jobs at that higher educational level? Because we are few in Number so every university needs you. You become a hot cake because they need you to teach the Plant aspect of Biology. You also make a lot of money from research work. Botanical association of America depend on African countries for some researches. Don't be discouraged move on Botany is a great course... 7 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks all for the love and concern... Am a graduate of botany and am yet to be convinced that it is lucrative as some of us claim. Those that are claiming to work in bank with a botany certificate can not prove to us that they are doing any job related to botany there. So are they trying to prove? |
Re: Any Hope For Fresh Graduates With Bsc Botany In Nigeria by Oluwabukola2nji: 7:13pm On Sep 05, 2018 |
superfelix:My sincere advice to you is that try to change it to what you know about or be patient till you get a more lucrative course... This is an advice I was not lucky to get some 8 years ago. |
Re: Any Hope For Fresh Graduates With Bsc Botany In Nigeria by Oluwabukola2nji: 7:23pm On Sep 05, 2018 |
Blizeny:How does Sales relate to Botany certificate, would you expect a graduate of medicine or other lucrative courses to be satisfied with this kind of advise? Anyway, we that studied it still keep relying on hope and not reality. |
