Brethen; as we all know, there are many factors which play decisive roles in whether a student in NIGERIA will eventually end up with his dream course or not.
AS for me, in my first jamb, i applied for pharmacy but was denied.
i later ascertained myself that i would do better in an engineering course.

Therefore;
.I changed to another course because i wasnt given my dream course
.i opted for chemical engineering becos i saw that i will do better there.

SO WHAT WAS UR FIRST EVER COURSE U APPLIED FOR IN A NIGERIAN UNI AND WHY DID U CHANGE TO ANOTHER

The lingering ASUU strike which commenced on 1st july has gone a long way now.
we wake up to hear diferent news everyday about the strike.
To what u ve personally ascertained, whose fault do you think it is for the strike still on?
is it FG or ASUU?
give a simple reason too

Ene101: What is d essence of education? To make one a better person and to contribute positively to the development of his immediate and external enviroment. Park well,i don't want to enter into any argument with you. I am far better than an SSCE holder.

u are right

rapcy: lol... Tru talk

like how do u mean is uniabuja classless

Ene101: At the age of 16, went to Kogi State Uni and graduated at the age of 20 just completed my Nysc batch c and am 22. Fortune has been smiling on me... Its not me but God.

drered: You'd hardly see a pharmacy grad that is unemployed or can't find an Internship placement. The beauty in pharmacy is its diversity. Pharmacist fit into so many works of life both unrelated and related to the profession ; Hospital/Retail/Academic/Manufacture/Quality assurance etc. Pharmacies are being opened everyday so they are always jobs and they also pay big cash to use your cert to register the place. Apart from diversity there's flexibilty. You can work in 2,3 places (locum) and make a very descent pay. Immediately after graduation, you can earn anything between 100large to 200large per month during your internship. I would suppose they are much more engineers relative to pharmacist out there and you know the less available a particular skill set is the greater their remuneration.

Pharmacy is also pretty tough. For the fact that you can diversify you should also be able to infer that the course itself is quiet broad ; From drug chemistry to their synthesis and how they can also be obtained, identified and extracted from natural sources to pharmaceutical microbiology, to drug dosage forms, analysis, assay and formulation to anatomy, physiology, clinicals( extensive study of virtually all disease states and their therapy). You gotta be able to sacrifice loads of your time and be persistent. A typical day in my school is 8-1 lectures, 2-5/6 practicals and same follows the next day. Remember u gotta report practicals and also study and be ready for extra classes. Exams are usually at a stretch, monday-saturday then you continue the next monday, no breaks in-between. No carry overs, you are allowed a couple of resits (3-4 depending on course unit and level) but if you fail just a course twice or more than the limit you'll repeat the whole year. There's even this silly thing where if you can't write an exam because you are sick and then you fail another course, you'll have to repeat the whole year. So its pretty much hardcore but its worth it. Was speaking to a senior colleague(a pharmacist now) that we used to read/complain about pharmacy school together and he said he would study pharmacy 10times over..
I suppose chemical engineering is okay too but pharmacy is what I can tell you about. Choose wisely mate cuz what you study can make or mar you. Good luck.

wow, what an invaluable contribution. thank u sir
pls which uni do u skul?

In most Nigerian families especially where illiterates abound, most parents compell their ward/children to apply for hot courses where medicine/surgery is the common choice.
i was a victim of this. If not for my daddy's understanding, my mum nearly forced me to apply for medicine.-that she wants a doctor in her lineage (lol). I didnt succumb but i applied for pharmacy in my first jamb bt wasnt privileged to get admitted to unn.
i later discovered that i so much fancy engineering. my love for maths escalated exponentially. I now applied for chem engr.
SO, LETS TALK. DID MUM OR DAD INFLUENCE UR CHOICE OF COURSE OF STUDY
