IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN BUILDING ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND STARTING A NEW DIRECTION, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

I’m currently at a career crossroads, and I’d really value the advice of people who have walked this path before.

I am 28, with HND in Chemistry and over 4 years of oil & gas experience, mainly in Instrumentation/E&I. I’m currently involved in pre-commissioning and commissioning activities on a gas processing project.

My experience includes loop checks, valve stroking, instrument calibration/verification, troubleshooting, P&ID & loop diagram interpretation, Emerson DeltaV/CHARMs, DCS/SCADA and process skids.

Now I’m considering pursuing a B.Eng. in either Chemical Engineering or Electrical/Electronics Engineering.

🔹 Chemical Engineering — potentially building toward process, production, gas processing and commissioning roles.

🔹 Electrical/Electronics Engineering — building further on my E&I, instrumentation, automation and control experience.

If you were in my position, which factors would you consider before choosing?

I’d especially love to hear from engineers, E&I professionals, automation/control engineers and experienced oil & gas professionals.

Your experience could help me make a much more informed decision.
Thanks

Do you know about this business? I might be interested. Thanks

Send a mail let's talk if you're still interested.

biliment:
I'm a civil servant. I need a business that I can do with 1.5m and will be making good profit from it daily, weekly or monthly I don't mind.

Alright,I suggest you go into phone charging and accessories..trust me, you will not regret it..although it's location dependent.

Bukola16:
Good day,pls someone should explain this to me🙏

This results is absolutely bad..although there's remedy at the end shaa..

Let me explain the results to you with my little knowledge.
1. For motility.. you have 0% meaning active moving sperm in your system.
2. 10% of the one that managed to be active are very weak and sluggish...(no moving ability)
3. Dead and non-motile means 90% of the sperm your body produced are dead and does even move at all.

For morphology
1.it means you have only 10% of normal sperm in your system, while the rest sperm are 90% abnormal nd it's very bad.

For sperm count...your sperm count is just a million, very very below the normal spearm of at least 15million and above....that's if you actually want to achieve pregnancy....

Nevertheless, there's a solution to very medical problems, I advice you to meet a fertility specialist.

Nd before a forget. Take alot of fruits especially banana, watermelon, cucumber... take egg too. @least 1 full egg daily.

Shadow0147:
Please what does the semen count below mean. Thats what I had in my SFA as total semen count

Total Semen Count 16.6 10 x 6

Is a good count.. although is somehow low but it is still above average and can pregnant a woman if other factors are good.
A normal count is from 15.010×^6

Shadow0147:
Boss. Good evening.

Please which tests did you do to realize that there was a blockage for your wife? I will also love to communicate with you about my own issues if possible please

temi4fash:
Congratulations

Which kind of fruits where you taking? and which medication was she taking?

After my sperm analysis results..
I started taking zinc and vitamin c 1000mg..
I took both once daily.
Even the vitamin c and zinc still remains.

I took Fruits...banana, watermelon and cucumber.. I took alot of them.. my wife usually mixed all for me..infact, I made it my night food..
I equally consume 1 boiled egg every day, I made it compulsory because doctor said I need to improve my protein level..

Finally, I read here where someone advised you take 1 glass of boiled guava leave morning and night as it help boast sperm motility and have no effect on the medication you're taking.
Same time, I was also taking infections medication as prescribed by doctors...

Although, when my results came out, doctor said my case is very minimal as everything is almost normal

My wife on the other hand was taking folic acid before we visited the hospital.
After every test, the only thing discovered is that her womb is okay, but is blocked. An injection was given to her which my wife said, she felt it like something tear up in her stomach immediately she recieved the injection...

Finally, doctor prescribed antibiotics for infection for her and one medication which I can't remember the name now but we bought in a pharmacy @20,500.
She took it one daily for 1 month.

SMGAHC:
OK
Congratulations, u will carry your baby soon

Good day bro ,...
I will be brief..
1 and my woman started going officially to hospital this June, we did every thing necessary and she did has too..though I won't explain all here..
Then July I did sperm analysis test which doctor said I will repeat first week of October...
According to the test results..my sperm count is normal, just low motility..which I haven't even buy the drugs doctors prescribed yet..just taking only zinc, and vitamins..enough vegetables and fruits..morning, afternoon and night...
My wife too did has and she took medication too...
Some things I read here were helpful too.

Here is the problem, our sheltered visit with doctor early this August was on 4th, we sent dia and doctor request my wife to reduce after scan to know if her tube is properly opened cos the initial one hsg and scan we did proved her tube was blocked.

We paid and she went in for the scan, the results got the radiologist confused and he requested us to do pregnancy test, but we should first see the doctor again.
We went in saw the doctor and he requested we did pregnancy test, the test was conducted nd behold my woman is pregnant... I was very happy, same as she..
Now, that very day was the same day I bought the drugs prescribed by doctor that will help my sperm nd motility... I bought it before going dia.
I came back nd I'm still taking the drug's.

My question here is
Is it advisable i stop taking it?
Should I still go for another sperm analysis test after the October??

I'm asking because effort to reach the doctor proved abortive as he don't give out his contact to patients and he's currently not in town.

GuyInTheMirror:
Hi everyone, my wife has pcos we already knew before we went on with the marriage as scan showed ovary with string of petals shape and some small fibroid but I loved her so we went ahead with the marriage, by the way I married her a virgin so trying for pregnancy before marriage was not a choice.

Back then the progesterone test showed that she was ovulating (16.1ng/ml) and her period is regular as well 27 -30 days cycle. Although it seems she has insulin resistance which makes her tired sometimes.

We are 6 months now in marriage and pregnancy has not happened. I have already made provisions and savings for ivf if it comes to that. My wife has been down and she is always sad anytime she sees her period this past 6 months but I have been encouraging her.

I am now thinking of suggesting the fertility clinic option to her with the aim of going the ivf route if after another 6 months with the hospital nothing changes.

I just want to speak to experienced people if I am making the right choice and what can you advise/suggest.

By the way, my own sperm analysis returns good with total motility more than 70% and sperm count above average.

Thanks for your time.

She will conceive in Jesus Name, Amenn..

This issues of crying each time she see her period is what break a man most.. but she will be fine...nd she will conceive..don't lose hope...
Let her do HSG first...
My wife did it and it happens that her tube is blocked.. right now, shix carrying a baby in her womb.

murphyrichy:
use glass cup.

God answereth all things...
Thanks ll

..

murphyrichy:
use glass cup.

Pls one more question, will you add anything to the guava leave?

murphyrichy:
Don't let it disturb you, be doing it for fun. It will enter. You can boil plenty guava leaves, sieve the water out and be drinking it morning and night. It increases sperm count too. It doesn't interfere with the oyibo medicine you are taking. Gud luck

how this this be taken, with a glass cup or Seaman shot?

Gratefulheart2:
I got the leave from eleweomo/herb sellers inside the market. They mostly have dried ones at first, so I took their number and was monitoring for the day they'll have fresh one. Eventually they did. I bought 1,500 worth, tied in a nylon and kept in the fridge to preserve. My husband takes 8-10 leaves squeeze like bitterleaf, we got limes too. Then he'll squeeze the lime water into the already slimmy ewe abo juice. The mixture of both will thicken it more, stir and drink on empty stomach.

Pls what is they igbo Name of this elewe leaf?

Good afternoon all, pls I want to ask, what does a low sperm motility means?
My lab results proved that my sperm counts is complete and normal..but low sperm motility..

mariahAngel:
Your mum hung up on you? Hahaha
Then, you have to find a way to put an end to the problem.

I mean like..she ended the call.

mariahAngel:
How about your own mother?
Do you have sisters?
Do they know what is going on?

Yes. My mum is aware, this is just the first time I tell her about my marriage , I honestly don't like involving my own immediate family..coz the truly love and accept her..I feel telling them often, about my marriage may make them start hating or having different feelings for her..so I do keep my family off.
Istead I tell my my boss...
Well my mum ,said I be a man and handle it the best way I can, that she cannot support throwing her out..nd bringing in another woman ... she said, if telling her parents can solve the issue I should do that... the she don't want ti involve herself in my marriage..so she won't be tag any name tomorrow by both of us...nd she hang up on me

IconicR:
Is it on agreement between both of you to withold making babies yet?
If no then you should understand she's going through emotional problems as well
I think you guys will outgrow this
Just this year I outgrew alot of things I did last year
This coming week I'll be going to apologize for behaving rudely to some people but I tell you these are things I won't do just this last year
So give room for growth especially if she's always sober and apologize for her wrong doings
It's a phase she'll outgrow
I'm someone who believes in change and as such don't totally write people off no matter their attitude
You love her and she obviously loves you , so be patient and allow growth between both of you.
I think a baby will make your bond stronger as well.
Goodluck

Yes honestly we both sincerely needs a kid, infact we need it like no tomorrow..I'm 28 nd she's 25.
She always wishe we have kids... but we are trying our best as we hope on God.. we are medically OK..
Her sister told me she will outgrown it,she's always apologise. Even as I'm trying this ,she has sent another apology to my WhatsApp but the fear of repeating it again is my concern...
I can tell ,we love each other somuch..that people even mistaken us as brother and sis..you hardly known we are husband and wife, because there's this resemblance in our face and skine colour..
Honestly we love each other so much, I just pray age stop all this name calling..it's really affecting my mental and emotional health.

mariahAngel:
Don't listen to her mother.

Find a way to address the issue permanently.
Never for any reason or anyone lose your self value.

I want to go to her house tomorrow, together with her.. then request she stay with her parents so the can advise her..not that I'm no longer interested the marriage but the should advised her, especially on the side of always calling me name's and insulting me each time we have quarrels..

mariahAngel:
Now, I get it.
Situations like this happen when men ignore the signs.
Even if you deny it, I'm sure you saw the signs before, but still went ahead to marry her, knowing you yourself are not much of a talker.

Well, you have to find a way to gain back your respect.
What do you do?
As in, what are you into?

I'm into transport business

IconicR:
Any kids yet?

No kids yet.. nd we are 2yrs +..

IconicR:
Hmm
You'll be 😲 if it's possible to hear from the wife
From the lines the wife use in attacking him it simply shows there's something he's constantly doing that's hurting the wife

Nothing, I mean nothing..ask her, the only thing she will say is that I have anger issues...honestly I have been that way,even while we are dating I constantly tell her I have anger issues, but then,istead of talking..I rather remain silent to avoid saying words that may hurt her.. I love her with all my heart, but this attitude of always insulting me, calling me all sort if names is killing me inside.. at some point I told her to leave my house, but she will say I should throw her out myself else,she will go nowhere...before you know, we have reconciled.

IconicR:
He's been economical with the truth
Men always play victim in marital issues

I'm not being any economical with truth, the last quarrel we had, I try avoiding it because of his elder sister came to visit us that day.. yet she didn't mind nd was hitting me.. I wasvery ashamed..her sister tried stopping her to no avail nd she left angrily even as I tried to stop the sister.
Later I called the sister to forgive us, she accepted nd asked that I should forgive her jr sister , that her man cannot control himself they way I did..that she will still call her parents to infome them nd she promised the will talk sense into her.
Sincerely, since yesterday she (my wife)has been begging for forgiveness, but the choice of words she used even in the presence of her elder sister keep hurting me.

IconicR:
Why did she call you a shameless man?
Are you constantly cheating on her and rubbing it on her face like it's your right?
If none of the above is the reason then you should put her in order

I have not cheated on her, that is my anger..she doesn't know how to control her anger nd will always come begging after vomiting nonsense.

On several note, her mum has always tell me to overlook her choice of words that is women voice, but it's getting worrisome.

mariahAngel:
Mute issues, as in, you'd rather stay silent when she's insulting you or what?

How can not "seeing enough money" be her reason to insult you? It does not make any sense.

Yes, when we have issues I prefer being silent than saying anything till I'm fully calm.

As for my money issues, I say that because since the fuel crisis issues that affected my business so bad , her business is not really affected nd she most tines take care of 65%bills and most time's I borrow from her to though I still pay back but may not be timely.

mariahAngel:
Has she always been that way with you, even before you married her?

No, but she always use my mute issues when anger as an excuse but sincerely speaking. All this her altitude started immediately after I opened up a business for to manage after her NYSC.. I guess is because, she's noe seeing enough money.
